Liddell vs Franklin winner expected to face Forrest Griffin.

Quote :

You know what I was thinking about doing, I was thinking about it could possibly him [Chuck Liddell] and Forrest too. So the winner of Rich Franklin vs. Chuck Liddell could fight Forrest Griffin [17-6]."

doesnt sound like its set in stone

Not official yet but this is pretty much a perfect scenario because it protects his poster boys from vicious KOs at the hands of the division elite(unless Liddell knocks either of them out, which is perferable to the UFC anyway) and it also sets up the winner of this three-way to be back into title contention.

Liddell and Forrest seem pretty chummy doubt they want to fight

Should be Page vs. Forrest rematch

Page and Machida are on a collision course now that Forrest is being pitted against the winner here.

I still wouldn't be so sure about that

It's a dumb fight to make anyways IMO, knocking back either guy with a loss when they are the true contenders in the division.

I agree. I want both guys to take warm-up fights then to face each other for the next title shot.

Machida and Rampage is a useless fight I don't even want to see. Machida would pick Rampage apart and make him look washed up even if he isn't.

kinda weird that rich would bring in forrest as a trainer on tuf and turn around and fight him but thats the ufc I guess.

I really want to see Thiago vs Forest, i think that would be an interesting fight.

How big did Griffin look last night? 240, 250?

I like it.

Griffin ddwarfed Franklin. He looked like a good sized HW. Frank Mir has noted how he and Forrest seem like they are the same size.

Forrest is abnormally large for a LHW. The guy is bigger than Fedor. And if I recall he was as large or larger than Tito and Rampage who also are large for the division.

Forrest vs Franklin and Forrest vs Chuck are both fights I've wanted to see for years. I like this a lot.

I like this a lot too. I would definitely be interested in Chuck/Rich vs Forrest hopefully co-maining a nice card

Both fights would be extremely entertaining back and fourth battles.

Hey bobbit, who's the chick ? She's cute.

Just an unnamed molestation victim of the Reem

She is legitimately scared and he seems to be getting off on it.

No, Overeem made her moist by tossing her around like a rag doll.

I think alot of Forrests durability has been due to the fact that he is very big for the division even by today's standards. He's fighiting much the same way that Thiago Alves and Anthony Johnson are in the respect that he cuts massive amounts of weight to fight at 205. I'm not taking anything away from the fact that dude has more heart than most guys in the division, but I think alot of it has to do with the fact that he's easily 10-15lbs bigger on fight night than the guys he's fighting most of the time.

Also I'm pretty sure Chuck would get destroyed by Forrest standing. He mixes up his leg kicks so well and he can take the shots he has to in order for them to start being effective.

Forrest's chin can't handle Chuck's power. Forrest would do some damage possibly but he'd eat a shot and then some follow up ground and pound that would have his head bouncing off the matt like a basketball similarly to the Jardine and Evans fights.

i just saw on rampages twitter that his manager has been talking to the ufc and he wants forrest next.
