According to mmajunkie, Forrest Griffin vs. Thiago Silva will most likely happen on this card. Should be a good entertaining fight. Forrest should be able to pull it off by decision or a stoppage later on in the fight. Thiago's stand up is sloppy but he can bang but I think he should look to try take the fight to the ground and use his GNP and BJJ. The other rumoured fight on this card (so far) is Nog vs Randy.
If Silva can get Forrest on his back he may have a shot Thaigo has displayed some impressive GNP IMO and you notice alot of Forrest fights het gets banged up when hes on his back in guard like the Tito,Jardine and Rashad fights. Im expecting Forrest to pick him apart standing though maybe stop him ive never been impressed with Thiagos striking or his chin.
I see thiago getting worst for every fight, Forrest is either improving or staying at level. Forrest wins ko1
should be a good fight. Both are coming back from a loss. Thiago is still young and he should be able to bounce back vs griffin. Tough call really but i'll pick forrest to win:good
i think it's cuz of the level of competition he is facing. I mean look at roger huerta. He used to look good but then he step up his competition against clay guida and kenny florian and all of a sudden he didn't look so good. :good
How so? Hes lost one fight and no way hes getting beaten like Lyoto beat him. That was as flawless a victory as one can get. I agree with Jimmie on this, Forrest is always vulnerable in spots.
BJ Vs Florian will now probably headline this card. Hamill vs Vera and Neer vs Pelligrino are other rumoured fights. It's shaping up to be a decent card. Nog vs Coture will most likely be moved to the 102.
I have a theory that the UFC are promoting Forrest Griffin because he is a likable guy. I scored him loosing to Ortiz and Rampage, if it's a draw i bet you all even if it looks like Silva has won Griffin will get the decision.
No UFC are promoting Forrest because he is a very good fighter. He was winning 2 round to 0 before getting knocked out by Rashad. And he did beat Rampage, close but no robbery. And he will beat that overrated T.Silva
Griffin is a good fighter, but thats my theory and i am sticking my it. After the Ortiz fight i thought the reason he won is because he is a Ultimate fighter winner. The guys were over to my house to watch the Rampage fight and i said before the fight if it's close Griffin will get it. All Griffin did kick Rampage in the leg once, Rampage almost KO'd him twice. Even the Griffin fans at my place said that Rampage won.
