I can picture A decision in the Griffin fight. Forrest is tough. He has suprised me before.
wow you really think anderson and forrest will go to a decision?
ill honestly be surprised if griffin makes it out of the second round.
i think because rashad and jardine were able to beat forrest in the stand up, anderson should have no problem.
forrest is bigger, and has the weight advantage, but i think there is no aspect of a fight that forrest does better than anderson.
punches=silva
kicks=silva
muay thai=silva
bjj=silva
forrest is a better wrestler than anderson, thats the only style i think forrest holds a slight advantage.
and i know forrest is a good bjj practicioner, but people forget that silva is a black belt under one of the best bjj grapplers in mma, big nog
for forrest to have a shot, he would have to make it an unbelievably boring fight, either try and get on top and use his weight, or stand around and jab and go.
heres how i see the fight going;
they feel each other out, forrest will try and chop andersons legs like he did rampage, anderson will get is timing and land big blows. if forrest doesnt get knocked out early, i see him desperatley trying to get anderson down, anderson has a great sprawl but hendo did take him down, but forrest is not the world class wrestler like henderson is. forrest will try and use the blueprint hendo used, but i dont think he is skilled enough to keep anderson under him.
how do you see the fight going down b?

both have alot to prove, silva is under pressure to come out and put on a good show, forrest is looking to beat, as many consider, the worlds #1 p4p
going to be interesting to see how silva handles forrests pressure and it will be interesting to see how forrest handles silvas striking
cant wait to stream this card legally of course
oh yeah me too, i cant wait to legally watch this show live! ;p
forrest will push the pace, thats almost guaranteed, which should lead to an exciting fight at least.
forrest has great bjj skills, he really impressed me when he choked out shogun.
albeit it was during shogun's terrible funk, but less than five years ago shogun was well known as the best LHW fighter in the world.
i think the bj/kenny fight will last longer than this one, but not much longer.
I WANT BJS BELT!! heh
it seems BJ is totally devoted to the LW division.
and because of that, i dont see anyone beating BJ at 155.

You gonna post how we all did? This is your thread. If not that may be alot of work If you want we can go back and tally our own.

I have been reading it was a knock out between silva and griffin, how bad was it?
I think If I did mine correct I am 5 for 5 with 1 fight left.
Leb about the knockout someone described it as the same type of jab that Petrozelli knocked Slice out with.
GO VOLS
