Forrest Griffin VS. Anderson Silva

[Cam09]

Im already making predictions and my Money will be on Forrest Griffin. I hope he kicks the Spiders ass

[BG]

Bad match up for Forrest, AS's hand speed will be too much. May have a chance on the ground.

[QuieTSToRM33]

This obviously is bad news for Thiago .... I really wanted to see that fight.

Anderson vs Forrest should be a pretty good fight though.

[WARMachine]

^ I agree. I think Forrest will set the pace in this fight. Not 100% ready to commit to AS yet...

[NewMuscle83]

Forrest will push it for sure. It will be a great fight, but AS is a great counter striker and will take him by KO.

Just my prediction.

[Brown Ninja]

i just hope that they actually engage. Since Griffen was ko'd by jardine he relys on counter striking a lot more than he used to. A three round fight might not be enough. I do love what Dana is trying to do though. Will be very interesting to see how Anderson deals with Griffens large frame

Ya I like it too. I just think that we'll see a fight.. Not like what we saw from Silva the last fight.... Ive never fought so Im not qualified to talk sh*t but I just got the feeling that MMA will become Boxing if the Champions fight like Silva did against Thales Letes

[TRT,MAN]

i dont know silva hASNT LOOKED THE BEST LATELY LIKE HAS IN THE PASS. dont get me wrong hes winning but, not like in the past , just full on killing spree.

[strength_addict14]

On paper Silva is more skilled undoubtedly. There is going to be a really big size difference here though, Forrest could easily fight at heavy weight. Really tough to call.

[sooners04]

Forrest will push it for sure. It will be a great fight, but AS is a great counter striker and will take him by KO.

Just my prediction.

Agreed!!!

[southmadejd]

I can't wait for this fight but I really don't see how Forrest can win. I would say he is bigger but that doesn't translate to power for forrest and there is no way he will submit AS. Should be a good fight none the less.

[MASTER]

I suspect AS will win by KO late on

[strength_addict14]

I think the problem for Forrest is his strength in this fight is his size.... problem is he is going to have to clinch with Silva to utilize it. Silva is quite the little devil in the clinch haha. I don't think Forrest is quick enough on his feet to beat Silva's sprawl with a single or double, obviously if they stay on their tootsies it is very bad for Grif.

[Knockout_Power]

Forrest sets up too much with his low kicks, not good against AS.

[WARMachine]

^ Big time.

[Brown Ninja]

I think it will be a good technical fight with Geiffen scoring more from the outside due to length. Griffen by decision

if AS plays around like last fight, you may be bang on with that one

[Brown Ninja]

unless Forest gets dumb and decides he wants to bang it out I think he takes it

[Knockout_Power]

wouldnt that be something if Grif's could sub AS. Talk about throwing the MMA world for a loop. When is this fight happening btw?

[JohnThePhoenix]

Well the reason for Anderson not looking as good is because his aunt (who raised him) is real sick and he's been spending most of his time taking care of her...but forrest doesnt want to get on the ground with silva his ground game is too good for all that i predict forrest loses by submission in the second. i love them both but i trained with team nogueira so you know i have to back my boy....

No offense but the reason Anderson looked bad in the last two fights is because he didn't really engage Cote, and Leites kept flopping around like a bitch. So I don't think it had that much to do with his Aunt.

[Monstruoso]

anderson silva for the win... KO 1st round
forrest griffin is no match for the spidaaaahh

vai anderson caralhooooo!!!

[Brown Ninja]

Griffen by RNC

[Knockout_Power]

Forrest, Ref stoppage, by breaking Silva's hand with his forehead.

Alright second time youve mentioned this.

LOL ^^^^


I still think this is a horrible match up for griffin, he's going to push the pase, AS is going to pick him apart, AS's hand speed will be to much for Forrest, he has to head movement. I say 3rd KO, AS by headkick or knee. Forrest will be too sloppy.

[WARMachine]

^ People always want to claim things online.

I think that Forrest will get caught eventually as well. And his chin isnt too great.

Tito has said that Forrest cant bust a grape in a fruitfight, so i dont believe he will beable to put a scare into AS with punches so... And there is no way on god green earth he submits him so...

AS will definitaly win this fight.

So let us know War....was the guy legit or talking about of his ass....let me but if I don't respond, it is because I am training with Team Fedor.

Agreed, I hear a bunch of people saying they think Forrest will take this fight but I really don't know how they can justify their thinking. I think everybody just loves Forrest because he is so damn funny and easy going but I can't think of one area that he can beat Forrest in.

With that being said....anything can still happen of course.

[Brown Ninja]

what was Forest better at than Shogun? Rampage? At the end of the day it's a fight and not everything is tangible. Heart, conditioning, desire, etc. Should be great

hell yah, I want to see this fight regardless of outcome. Forrest still has the number one goal of pleasing the fans. He would risk getting ko'd to make it interesting.

Him winning by discision is very possible cause he is a lot more awkward to fight than most fighters AS has faced. His long arms and legs make for unpredictability. If he can tie up AS and use his weight to take him down, he may not be able to match AS's JJ, but lay there long enough and score a couple shots is all you need to win in the judges eyes.

Hahaha thats funny, didnt know Tito was actualy funny sometimes.

[Brown Ninja]

He's super funny when he talks about how he is still relevant

[WARMachine]

^ Zing!

[Knockout_Power]

haha. so true. Jenna probably whoops his ass now. Not a totally unpleasing idea, but a sad truth methinks.

[Deltasaurus]

Im thinking forrest has a good chance, AS wil not man handle him like he did franklin and i think this will be a very good fight like forest vs bonner I

[Brown Ninja]

the only thing that worries me is if Griffen makes this a "Bonner" fight it will be a quick one. Forest has come a long way from those days but he has a tendency to want to brawl. Look at the Page fight, he held his own or got the better of most the stand up until he turned it into a brawl and the got dropped. I think Page hits harder than Silva but Silva is more accurate and will make those shots count.

[Brown Ninja]

Wouldnt it be ironic if the P4P hero got stopped by the guy who won Tuff???

***side note-fedor is and will always be P4P champ. Just threw that in there as a lot of people still view Silva as the best in the world

[Biohazard74]

I give the edge to Silva but think Griffin has a very good chance as well. He will be the way bigger guy at that weight and is no push over. I think Silva has the better chance of winning but will have to actually work to achieve this win.
