Is Forrest Griffin relevant now?

Is he still at the top of the heap at 205?

No. He beat an injured Shogun and won a controversial decision against Rampage. I need to see more from him, he has lost 2 straight and showed absolutely nothing against Silva. That was a pathetic performance.

It was a really bad performance granted it was against one of the top 3 p4p best but he was embarrassed didn't even touch Silva than ran away to hide his shame.

Yes, he's still the real deal. Nobody else has really done anything against Silva either, so you cant hate on Griffin for that.

he's still relevant. Jardine is still relevant despite getting murdered by wandy. A forrest Jardine rematch would be a good bout if JArdine can win his next one.

Yes he is. He got clowned by a guy with way better standup that he stood in front of but he would still be a threat against most of the top 205 lbers

Yeah, it's not like someone at 205 has presented a bigger challenge. It looked like he was messing around with his little sister.. and then when she got mad he just fucked her up (not the best analogy but I stand by it).

Look how he has faired vs the best in the business
-He's takes a beaten from Tito and comes back and almost wins. If it goes to a 4th round there isn't a doubt in my mind he finishes Ortiz (we need big fights to be 5 rounds title or not!)
-He beat Shogun straight up.
-He out pointed Rampage. Close, but the champ couldn't come anywhere close to finishing Forrest who was more active and landed more.
-He beats Rashad for the first 2 rounds and 2 min into the 3rd and gets caught and pounded
-He is embarrassed by the best aka Anderson.

Only once was he never in the fight and is 2-3 vs some damn good competition.

Rampage almost knocked out Forrest in round one actually.

Win or lose Jardine vs Forrest two is a great fight.

I like Forrest and think he is still very relevant. Gatekeepers always are.

Shogun was injured and couldn't really train for that fight. Not really straight up. Forrest is still a legimate 205er though.

Ali, I love your avatar. It makes it look like Forrest is getting floored by a little jab.
