UFC boss says Mir vs. Velasquez, Griffin vs. Ortiz III in the works

UFC boss says Mir vs. Velasquez, Griffin vs. Ortiz III in the works | MMAjunkie.com

According to UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta, former UFC heavyweight champions Frank Mir (16-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) and Cain Velasquez (9-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) are on a collision course, while familiar foes and former light heavyweight champs Forrest Griffin (18-7 MMA, 9-5 UFC) and Tito Ortiz are in line for a trilogy bout.

Fertitta revealed the planned matchups overnight via Twitter.

No date for either fight was revealed.

Mir currently boasts a three-fight win streak that includes a gruesome submission win over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at this past December's UFC 140 event. Mir's run also includes a May 2011 decision win over Roy Nelson, as well as a September 2010 knockout of Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.

Mir, who won the UFC's heavyweight title in 2004 before a motorcycle accident forced him to vacate the belt, also won an interim title in 2008. He's 7-2 in his past nine fights, but both losses have come to wrestling stylists in the form of Shane Carwin and Brock Lesnar.

Meanwhile, Velasquez looks to rebound from a November loss, in which he surrendered the UFC title to Junior Dos Santos at the UFC's first-ever FOX-televised event. The defeat was the first of Velasquez's career, a run that included nine-straight wins to open his career, including seven fights in the octagon.

Ortiz, who made his MMA debut in 1997 as a brash 22-year-old at UFC 13, has the most fights in UFC history (26), the most light-heavyweight title defenses in the promotion's history (five), and the longest current service time in the UFC. He was also the sport's biggest star during a pivotal return to pay-per-view and an eventual move into the mainstream.

Ortiz is just 1-6-1 in his past eight fights, though a July 2011 upset of Ryan Bader brought about a brief resurgence. However, with losses to some of the division's elite – Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira – few meaningful fights remain.

However, he can think of one, and he and his would-be opponent have campaigned for it on Twitter. Ortiz wants it, and fellow ex-champ Griffin verbally accepted the challenge on a recent airing of HDNet's "Inside MMA." Ortiz won the first meeting via split decision at UFC 59, and Griffin won the second one (also via split decision) at UFC 106.
