    Forrest gets caught pressing the fight and stopped by strikes on the ground ala Evans fight.

    That is pretty close to how I picture it, however, Forrest won't be beating Anderson at any point. I don't think anyway, Forrest surprised me huge in the Rampage fight, I had him KO'd for sure and he was my favorite in the fight lol....

    Silva wont lose, the question is will it be an abomination of a fight again?

    No Forrest will push forward, he really kept up the heat in his last fight and I would assume he would do the same in this one. He is too driven by the fans, and he is the type of guy that would love to end Silv'a undefeated reign. Although he won't defeat Silva.

    I am not sure if anyone in the LHW can.....

    the best fight at 205 is Silva/Machida. Ironically who would want to watch that excitement?:lol:

    Why? So Wanderlei can get KTFO again?

    Please. Griffin is a tough fight for Anderson. I don't care what anybody says.

    Firstly, its nobody can. 'Know' means 'to know', as in knowledge.

    Secondly, I didn't say Griffin would 'sub' Silva; did you mean to quote somebody else or do you just like refuting non-existant propositions?

    Thirdly, as my girlfriend insists on telling me, size does in fact matter; Griffin will be by far the biggest guy Silva has fought, this changes everything.

    Fourthly, you have an avatar of Cheik Kongo. Unless you lost a bet, this disqualifies you from having an opinion. On anything. Ever.

    Seems like you were implying it.

    As to my avatar, at least Kongo don't use cement wraps.

    I don't know what you're yapping about :huh

    Out of the entire 205 division - Forrest Griffin is anything but a tough fight for Anderson Silva. Griffin won't be able to handle his speed and will get picked to pieces. This is practically the safest fight they could have given Silva at 205. That's why it's a crock. Meh.

    I have to agree with you sugarngold, Cane would have been a better matchup for Silva, style wise. But they wouldnt want a ''noname'' to cause a surprise.

    :!: If I'd said he submitted Monson, and therefore he would submit Silva, you might have a point :tired I actually said 'he could **** Anderson up on the ground', which, if anything 'implies' I thought he could beat him with GNP. Now don't talk at me again n00b, ok?

    Yet you edited your post anyway :rofl

    Da **** with these shithead n00bs following me round...

    I don't think Forrest could gnp Silva. He sat on Ramage for a whole round grounding and pounding and achieved **** all apart from scoring points. Not to mention Silva's guard is good.

    Forrest really only has size as a on his side. Although we don't know if that will give Silva any problems.
