Tito Ortiz has a fractured neck and is officially out of next week’s Bellator MMA pay-per-view debut. And his injury has turned that pay-per-view debut into a FREE  Stacked card on Spike TV, with a trio of title fights.

Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney on Friday made the announcement on a conference call with media members.

Bellator 106 will still take place Nov. 2 at Long Beach Arena in California. But instead of airing on pay-per-view, the card will air on Spike TV with a four-fight main card over three hours, with three title fights.

Now the Main event will be a lightweight title fight Rematch between Michael Chandler (12-0 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) and former champ Eddie Alvarez Alvarez (24-3 MMA, 9-1 BMMA). Which was one of the greatest fights in MMA. Now we all get to see it for a second time, The card also will feature a featherweight title fight between champ Pat Curran (19-4 MMA, 9-1 BMMA) and Daniel Straus (21-4 MMA, 7-1 BMMA), also a rematch, and an interim light heavyweight title fight between Muhammed Lawal and Emanuel Newton titled the grudge match.

“I’ve said it since the day we announced the fight that ‘Rampage’ vs. Tito was a fight I had wanted to see for years, and it’s unfortunately something I’m going to have to continue to wait to see,” Rebney stated in Bellator’s official press release, sent out while the media call still was taking place. “After sitting down with our team and partners, the decision was obvious: Give the greatest MMA fans on earth this amazing show live and free on Spike. Our fans have been incredible to us and I’m thrilled to be able to give them this great card on the greatest network in MMA, Spike. Chandler vs. Alvarez II, Mo vs. Newton II and Curran vs. Strauss II are all unbelievable fights. This is going to be a great, great night.”
