Silva/Griffin - Is this an accurate portrayal?
I am wanting to take GRIFFIN on this fight. I found this tyrade on the net... what do you think, value or homer? Is SILVA lights out in this fight?

"To say that Forrest even has a punchers chance against Silva at even half strength is laughable.
Peopl think all of a sudden because silva only beat up and didnt annihlate his last two opponets that some how now he is washed up?
Please get serious....he is just bored and not as deteremined and focused thats all.He has nothing left to proove at 185 and he and everyone else knows it.He reached the pinnacle of his UFC career when he owned Dan Henderson which was his toughest challenge to date.
At 205...which is where I presume Silva will be fighting Forrest he actually looked stronger and more powerful with his striking and confidence against Irvin and we all saw what happened there.Now that being said.....Forrest is tough yes,but his skill set is very shallow even compared to James Irvin in striking and we all know that the odds of Forrest even wanting to take the fight to the ground are almost nill. Silva has basically mauled and bruised anyone who thus yet has tried to stand and stike with him.......not just in the UFC but in his entire MMA career.If you discredit the illegal kick DQ to Yushin Okami in 2005.......Silva is on a 13 fight win streak over all with 9 of those wins coming by KO or TKO.
Dana is starting to realize that he has to give Silva a real challenge or else he will just fade away into boredom,so he is basically throwing Forrest to to the wolves just liek he did Irvin because he is trying to get as much use out of both fighters as possible.
Unless Silva comes in sleeping(which contrary to what alot of you Silva haters would like to think happened at UFC 90 and 97 did not) there is no way Forrest has legititamate shot at whipping Silva.Silva is too quick,too smart,too accurate with his punches too...........too everything for Silva lol.......I'd give someone like Stephan Bonnar a better chance of beating Silva at 205 than Forrest.
Forrest is going to charge in and get his head and ribs kneed,punched and kicked into oblivion. Even an injured Silva wins this fight by 2nd round TKO stoppage easily."
