Forrest Griffin - Jon Jones would "whoop my ass".

DrPhilG

"I hope I am not fighting Jon 'Bones' Jones," Griffin told Bloody Elbow. "I might be. F*** it; if I am, I am. I will do it.

"But I am not even training right now. That is a bad dude. That dude will whoop my ass. F*** it. What is the worst, I mean, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva. It should not be worse than that, right?

"Every fight I go into, no matter what happens, it could not be worse than Anderson Silva. [Anderson punched me] repeatedly and I was very confused. I tried to punch him and he literally moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it.
"He looked at me like, 'why would you do such a stupid thing?' He looked at me like, 'oh, did you really think you were going to hit me? What a stupid thing to think, you slow slow white boy.' Then he punched me. I felt embarrassed for even trying to punch him."

The usual "I'm crap" claims from Forrest, but I loved the stuff about Silva, "he moved his head out of the way and looked at me like I was stupid for doing it."

A lot of MMA is getting like wrestling now with the after fight "bust ups" and post match interviews, I miss the old MMA with less rules and no weight divisions, I still tune in but I think its becoming too commercialized now.

What do you think?

I'd be putting my money on Jones for this fight but I think it's a very good match up

UFC 1 had post-fight interviews. What sort of commercialisation are you talking about exactly?

Forest has a thing about down playing his abilities-that way he cant lose no matter what happens..

Zero-Cool

What a class interview, Forest had me in stitches!! Hope he returns to form...whenever he does return!

apart from daley/koscock in the ufc or miller/diaz(& whoever else was in there) in strikeforce where are the rest of these "after fight "bust ups" " that make MMA like wrestling?


Thats a funny interview. Forest seems to say what he thinks & what he said about Silva is probably what we all thought
