I love Forrest for the reason you said but I love Anderson for his skill and I have to say Silva will win.

Forrest will bring the heat for certain. He'll give Silva's counter punching style a challenge but I think Anderson's accuracy will prevail against Grffin.

I think Anderson will win but I really hope Forrest does. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Silva but Forrest is too awesome. I'll be happy either way.

I always become a tad doubtful of whether Anderson Silva will pull out the win with each fight that passes. Because I know once he does lose in the UFC(if he loses in the UFC) then everyone will say how he has lost it/he doesn't care about fighting anymore/ he was never as great as people made him out to be/etc.
So I will say Anderson is who I will be picking for the win..
..but when I go over it in my head and I see how Forrest always wins when he is the underdog..it is hard to stand by my pick.
I hope Anderson wins. Forrest has shown he can be KO/rocked/TKO'd(Jardine, Rampage, Evans). If Anderson wins that will truly cement his legacy in the UFC..He will have completely cleaned out his division..plus set a UFC consecutive winning streak..plus have beaten 2 LHW's one of those LHW's being a former UFC champ. I think everyone would put Forrest in their top 5 LHW's in the UFC. So I hope to God that Anderson wins in convincing fashion..but I just don't know. Hard fight to call.

Anderson standing should pick him off, however I can see Forrest avoiding that & taking him to the ground as much as possible. I see Griffin taking this myself
I still can't believe with the whole Affliction Failing & where will Fedor go hype that UFC 101 has been virtually forgotten about.

I have to be honest, my gut is telling me that Forrest is going to push Anderson through three grueling rounds and I either finish in the third or at least make it come down to a razor thin decision. That's what my gut instinct is and that's what I'm predicting. Hiyoh!

I'm so pumped for this fight. I actually can't see a winner. I just want to watch the fight for what it is. I can't call this one.

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.

Hmm....didn't James Irvin say the same sh*t and he got made a fool of?
Anyone has a chance to win any fight, doesn't matter who's fighting. Forrest has proven time and time again that it's very easy for him to get punched and put down. This isn't for a title, so I can imagine Anderson being aggressive as hell and picking apart Forrest. Everyone has a chance in any fight, but I just don't see anything that Forrest brings to the table that can handle Silva.

I agree with Mr. Oldschool on one thing in his little rant. Writing Forrest off is a huge mistake. I mean he beat Shogun and they all thought he would get murdered. I think Forrest can win but off of technical skill Silva has many more ways to win the fight than Forrest does. IMO Silva either wins via KO/TKO/Or sub but if not Forrest wins it would be via decision. Forrest has a huge heart and aint afaraid to bang with anyone. This should be a war!

Hmm....didn't James Irvin say the same sh*t and he got made a fool of? I don't know if he said the same stuff or not, but that was James Irvin. It WASN'T Forrest Griffin. Forrest Griffin is a former Light-Heavyweight champion of the world. What is James Irvin?? Not a whole hell of a lot, the way I see it. James Irvin never beat the likes of Shogun Rua or Rampage Jackson. Forrest did. Forrest is a whole hell of ALOT tougher than James ing Irvin brother. He's clearly proven that. And in my opinion, coming up on Saturday night, he'll prove it one more time. Trust me.

forrest is definitely a tough challenge for silva, hes got a real tough chin and can handle a beating. what forrest lacks in skill he makes up with heart and that alone can carry him through this match. its a tough call for a winner, you can't deny anderson's skills but this is easily gonna be his toughest match yet.
