On July 8, 2006 Shamrock faced Ortiz for the second time at UFC 61- Bitter Rivals and lost in 1:18 of the first round by technical knockout called by referee Herb Dean. Early in the first round Ortiz successfully secured a double leg takedown on Shamrock, lifting him up and slamming him to the mat. Although Shamrock was now on his back in a disadvantageous position, he was able to get Ortiz into his full guard. This, however, did not stop Ortiz from using one of his hallmark ground and pound tactics of maneuvering his opponent against the fence of the Octagon and subsequently striking from above. After maneuvering Shamrock to the fence, Ortiz landed a barrage of five elbow strikes to Shamrockhahaha8217;s head, prompting Dean to stop the fight.
