    ya Jardine is a tough horse to bet on, you never know how mentally prepared he is for a fight.

    Just when you think the Light Heavyweight division couldn't get any better, it does.

    I'm going to pick Rashad Evans, with caution. I'm almost always wrong with Forrest Griffin fights (when I pick him to lose, he wins, and vice versa). I like Evans stand up game, and he's a good wrestler to boot.

    Evans, via stoppage, three rounds.

    Rashad Got This. To Me Forest Ain't No Real Champ, Heart But Not A Champ.

    I think Evans takes this one. Maybe by KO.

    Evans best chance is to land a big shot on Forrest. Watching Forrest fights I noticed he doesnt do well punching on the inside watch the Jardine fight and Rampage fight and what happened to him there. Evans IMO has the power to stop him and do it brutally but after that I dont like his chances to be honest. Evans aside from his 2 highlight reel KOs has never impressed me standing even in those 2 fights he was passive as hell and didnt work very hard. Forrest Griffin will throw kicks and punches at a high volume and score them points whether then land or not. Then theres Evans Wrestling ability which is pretty good but Forrest has a good sprawl and a very underatted guard even if it does go the ground I cant imagine Evans doing much on the ground in this fight. So I got Forrest UD in a fight similar to the Bonnar rematch as Evans will probablly take more chances here then usual but it wont be enough unless he lures Forrest into punching inside and lands his vicious right hand.
