Griffin is definately not championship material. He's never beaten anyone worth a damn. When he did step up he was beaten, ie Horn, Tito. If he would quit training with that other bum Rory and go with Couture full time he would improve. He's a scrub!

Shit I Have Respect For Forest... He Might Be A Little Sloppy But He Fuckin Brings It Everytime... Just Like Tank And I Used To Love Tank...i Dont Know If He Ever Be Championship Material But He Will Always Make For A Good Fight And Is Entertaining To Watch...shit Maybe If He Did Go With Couture He Could Be Good...

He's exciting to watch ,but his stand up is WAY TOO SLOPPY to stand a chance against any real comptetition.I don't think he'll beat Bonnar.If he does beat Bonnar he''l make a good gate keeper maybe.

2) I'm pretty sure anyone that trains with Randy would become better, but who's this bum Rory he trains with?

He's a scrub! | whos fault is it that he hasnt beaten anyone worth a damn? give it some friggin time, he hasnt been givin the chance to fight a lot of people worth a damn
but I still think hes a stiff, all heart no real skill.. his stand-up game is predictable, his ground game is solid but I dont think he has enough tools to be a top fighter, just a solid one at best.

Forrest is respectable because of his heart. but his stand up is very sloppy, and he has some ground game, but he never uses it. he does need to train with Randy full time, it's the only way he is going to really improve.
i'm gunna go with Bonnar in their next fight because i actually see Bonnar using what he is superior in this time around...his ground game. Forrest even admitted in TUF 1 that Stephan could easily submit him. it's not about putting on a slugfest this time, these guys both need the win.
Forrest will never be champion material until he gets some more skill. but his fights will still be entertaining no matter what.

. | Even if you did score the 1st round 10-8 Forrest still won the last 2 rounds so it should've been a draw.There's no way you can honestly say that Tito won the 2nd or 3 rounds.

Round 2 was an obvious 10-9 Forrest. Round 3 could have gone any number of ways a draw, or 10-9 either way....there certainly was no clear cut winner in round 3. I personally gave the edge to Tito.
But if round 3 is a draw, Tito wins, if you score it 10-9 for Tito, he obviously wins....best case scenerio for Forrest is the fight was a draw, although, like I said IMO, it was a 29-27 fight.
