    this was prolly discussed earlier..... but wtf happened to Forrest Griffin ??
    He seemed totally unprepared for that fight to the extent that Anderson was not even defending himself ???? And then he legged it from the ring ? Was he injured or something ?

    That was an embarrassing fight for Forrest imo

    Just found this... edit: Linkey

    Man, Silva destroyed Forrest. And to KO him while moving backward aswell. I'd love to see him against the dragon but he hinted a while ago that he wouldn't fight him, pity.

    Did anyone really expect Forrest to win this? I mean you put in a guy who loves to stand and brawl with the best stand ups in MMA and this is the result. Griffin is a good fighter but he is nowhere near Silva's standard. Looking through his career who of note has he beaten besides Rampage? Shogun Rua is not even a shadow of the fighter he once was and against Rampage Griffin took a lot of strikes and was lucky not to be KO'd a good few times in the fight. Against the likes of Silva all Silva needs is one good strike and your out. Griffin has heart but hes slow and has Silva showed us he is painfully slow. I have to ask though, why did Griffin keep it on the feet? Silva is excellent on the ground as well but beating him on the feet is simply not going to happen.

    To be honest in the (likely) event Silva flat out refuses to fight Machida then I would like to see him come up against a good wrestler and see how he fairs. Rampage would be ideal.

    He wanted to put on a show due to the stick he got in his last couple of fights-simple really.

    plus he was so dominant standing that why would he risk having a ground fight.

    Downloaded the Silva/Gump(!) fight again to watch it on proper quality.

    Man, the showboating from Silva, lol. I never thought I'd see that in a main event fight in the UFC.

    Plus his face when the crowd started booing him was priceless.

    It's Gareth Davies' piece from the Telegraph, admittedly odd to see MMA in the Indo whatever the source.

    Poor Forrest, felt bad for him. Silva was funny though when he just dropped his guard and started ducking and dodging.

    He would destroy the dragon, IMO.

    Anyone know what area Nogueira was helping Silva train in?

    Can't wait to see Big Nog vs. Couture in 102!!

    I couldnt pick a winner between machida and Silva tbh. Nog and Silva have been training together for years. they train everything, boxing, jits, wrestling etc
