I think Forrest will win, or atleast I hope he does.

Yep, and you know that for a fact too, right?? Come on man. Give me a friggin' break. You sound like you are giving Forrest zero chance against Anderson and I believe that is a HUGE mistake. Forrest shocked ALOT of people when he beat Shogun and shocked alot more when he beat Rampage. Here's my take on why I believe Forrest will shock the world again and defeat Anderson. If Forrest can go a full 25 minutes and take Rampage Jackson's best shots and win the Light-Heavyweight belt from him, then I believe he can at least last 15 minutes with Anderson Silva. Call me crazy, but I think Forrest will KO Silva and I believe it will happen late in the 2nd round. Sure, Forrest has lost a few fights here and there, but I think he's got more heart and more desire to win this one more than anything. I mean, if he's finally the guy to beat Anderson Silva in the UFC, do you know how  ing huge that will be?? It'll be crazy man. And I think he'll do it. I've got all the faith in the world on Forrest going into this fight. Plus, I've got $20 riding on him as well. Forrest will prove to everyone that Anderson doesn't belong at Light-Heavyweight and should stay at his own damn weight division. You watch and see. Anderson doesn't belong at LHW? Huh...Anderson IMO would have that damn belt by now along with the MW belt if Machida wasn't holding the title. You say writing off Forrest is a huge mistake and blah blah blah...but isn't that exactly what you did to Frank Mir? Or anyone who faces Brock Lesnar...? Everyone mentions Forrests wins against Shogun and Rampage. Are we seriously saying that he beat the same Shogun from Pride? Hell, Mark Coleman went to the third round with Shogun because Shogun had trouble putting away a 46 year old who is off the roids. Shogun looked decent against Chuck..but again it was against an aging Chuck. We still don't know how Shogun looks against a guy in his prime. Machida will pick him a part and KO him in the first. anyways back to Forrest. I think he is a good fighter. Big heart, huge for a LHW, and very strong. But who the f*** has Forrest KO'd in the UFC? I remember him putting away Elvis Sinosic but that isn't saying much. and you expect him to KO Anderson Silva? The most technical striker in the UFC who has never been KO'd? Wow...very bold prediction. If Forrest does win I think he is going to grind out a decision. I see him trying to close the gap and put his weight on Anderson and trying to wrestle him to the ground. I don't see Forrest outstriking or submitting Anderson. If he tries those leg kicks that he did on Rampage it'll be interesting to see Andersons reaction. Anderson is not going to just stand there and let Forrest kick him. I hope to see some more of those knee kicks he did on Thales Leites to try and take some of Forrests power away from him. I hope Anderson takes it. I don't even know if I am ordering this PPV though. I can't buy PPV's every month like I used to. Plus the main-event and the co-main event are the only fights I am interested in. |

I didnt watch the PPV just the highlights on Sportscenter....From what I saw, i would have put up a better fight the Forrest did. |

What I am wondering, Why the hell did he run away and pansy off into the backstage? Did something happen or was he just that ashamed?

No one quite knows yet, but word around is that he broke his jaw and he lost hearing in his ear.

I was hoping the fight would be interesting and stuff, but Griffin looked off his game tonight. I'd love for him to come back and have a rematch and have a better fight. I guess the only people left for Silva to beat now are GSP and Machida.

The fight was pretty boring. I honestly thought it would go the full 3 rounds.

How the hell do you call that fight boring? Boring isnt the right word, IMO. But I certainly wouldnt call it awesome. It was just a straight up beatdown. |

I guess the Forest that we saw in TUF is gone now.  |

I guess the Forest that we saw in TUF is gone now. I'm confused. You're writing off Forrest Griffin after being humbled by ANDERSON ING SILVA who is unarguably one of the top 3 p4p fighters on this planet. See, what I can't understand is when a guy loses to someone of Silva's calliber they get wrote off as though they've "lost it". Anderson Silva is a fighter in a different level than just about any other fighter in the world. |

There sure are a lot of people that really don't want to accept that Silva is that good...and as far as the final punch,it wasn't the hardest but it did have power and Forrest was stepping into it...look at the other angle to see how FLUSH that shot was  |
