Why is everybody in here on Forrest Griffin?
I know he beat Shogun back in 2007 but that was Shoguns first fight in the UFC after Pride. If I remember correctly at the time Shogun didn't look to be in the best shape. I also seem to remember some fighters having a hard time transitioning from Pride to UFC. Anyways since then Shogun only lost a crooked decision to Machida and of course he got destroyed by Jon Jones... but who is ******* with Jon Jones right now??? Nobody!!!
I have a lot of respect for Forrest Griffin but after he got embarrassed by Anderson Silva he hasn't been the same fighter. Since then he had too unimpressive decision wins over washed up competition in Rich Franklin and Tito Ortiz. I see Shogun knocking him out. Setting up a rubber match down the road. Which fits perfectly into my Trilogy Theory. Which is when two popular fighters have a rematch the guy who lost the first fight usually wins the second one... thus setting up the "Trilogy".
I'm sure you guys have your reasons for betting on Forrest.
Is there something I don't know? Did Forrest have a great training camp? Is he training with some one new?
Is something wrong with Shogun? Injuries or something???
Only way I would touch Forrest is by decision... but even then I just don't see it.
Please enlighten me.
