    I think the more pertinent question is what happens when both the little man and the big man are exceptional?

    GSP won because he is a better welterweight fighter, that much is true, but his athleticism is part of the reason that he is a better fighter.

    I think I read somewhere that he had a broken jaw and, at the end of the fight, couldn't hear out of one of his ears. The reason he ran was so he could get to the hospital as quickly as possible.

    I don't know if that's true, but I'm pretty sure I read it somewhere.

    THX, That would defo be a good reason.
    (But I have a hard time believing that borderline jab did all that damage)

    I think the explanation is that his jaw was already broken and that's why the seemingly weak punch was able to finish him.

    Nah...listen. Forrest was outclassed. Simple as that.He looks like an amateur, a begginer vs a master.Silva schooled that...NEXT..

    That report has since been confirmed as being false.

    The truth is Griffin is psychologically weak and has verbally submitted twice recently.

    this is kinda true. forrest is a good fighterbut maybe needs a sports psychologist, something upstairs isnt right with him he hasnt been himself and it almost seems like a confidence issue lately.

    He doesnt need no dam psychologist. He just isnt that good period. Forrest is a mental midget when he fights. He knows he isnt the most talented guy in the UFC and yet he isnt smart enough to try diffrent tactics or to adapt his game so that he can be more effective.
