Forrest vs. Rashad

[HPC]

What are your thoughts on this fight?

Personally, I like Forrest and hope he wins.

Even in his last fight against Chuck, Rashad was backing up and avoiding him the whole time. He kept reverting to the cage to avoid the blows and hits, and in my opinion, got lucky on the hit that KO'd him.

I do think Forrest will win, but, not by KO. I will say a submission or decision will be the result

My prediction:

Griffin Retains his belt by beating the snot out of Rashad!!

Forrest is my number one favorite fighter.

He's a beast. He's got a ton of heart, and plenty of emotion.

I hope that Forrest can pull this out. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Rashad won.

I'm not a real big fan of Rashad's either. Not a fan at all really. But after his brutal KO of another fighter I don't care for, I can't count him out.

Both fighters are VERY capable of winning.

I want Forrest to win, but I wouldn't put money on him.

This fight will be interesting, but I'm more interested in who the winner will fight after that. Most likely the winner of Wandy / Rampage. Machida is lurking as well.

I one of the few people that believe that Evans will Knock Forrest out.

I am right down the middle on this one, cant make up my mind. 100% behind Forrest though, one of my favorites...

This should be a great fight. I like both fighters, and both are capable of winning. They both have great gameplans, and have good ground skills. I think Forrest has a ton of heart, and I like how Rashard stepped his game up against Liddell when he was clearly the underdog. I won't make a prediction on this one, it's a lot closer than most people will think. I think size wise, Forrest has the edge, and Forrest has that style of striking that fustration opponents. Evans obviously posses the power to KO, and he too has that stick and move type of striking. Should be a great fight

I think its kind of funny that mainly because of the Liddell KO, people seem to forget that Rashad's bread and butter, at least in my mind, is his wrestling. Probably as explosive as anyone at 205 and I think he has a much better chance of winning the fight if he takes Forest down.

Its a close fight, I think Forest pulls it out but like pretty much everyone else here has said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Rashad wins.

You must have not seen the Griffin Vs. Rua Fight.
Griffin is no joke on the ground!! He's very well rounded.
Can't wait for this one!!

*On a side note, I just picked up my 2nd Butler Blue the other day. Hope he has a better year in '09.

it will be a very interesting fight. i think Forest will come out on top in this one. Forest has a VERY proven chin and has shown that he can handle himself on the ground.
