Gamburyan has the best chance of winning a belt, but from the list, i got Stevenson having a better chance.

[Dr. MMA]

the way i look at it.... forrest has kept improving with every fight and is a much smarter fighter after his loss to jardine. He's not in there to just brawl, he's picking his shots carefully and moving around really well. Another thing I think that he has been showcasing a lot is his kicks, and I think that is one advantage he has over rampage. I still think rampage takes him but forrest still has one helluva chance and its much more than just a puncher's chance.

With stevenson, I have BJ outmatching him on the feet and on the ground. I can't see this going on for more than 3 rounds, so I don't think joe daddy's going to use cardio to his advantage.

They both train with Randy. Joe has been with Randy not real long but he has been there i think a year or so.

Forrest is going to beat Rampage, no if and but or maybe he will win.

I doubt it. Imo he will never be a top fighter. Plus Serra has already won a belt.

Fitch was sorta on TUF, he was at the airport ready to get on a plane to go film the show then they called him an said we don't need you. Fitch will be ww champ.

Diego has a good shot at lw when Penn moves back up.

I realize puncher's chance wasn't the proper analogy because he doesn't brawl as wildly as before. As you mentioned, now he picks his shots, uses angles, and is well-rounded.

That's what I was sayin'. No doubt that Daddy is a beast at 155 but BJ's skills are going to be overwhelming. Daddy will get frustrated and make a mistake sooner or later...I'm betting sooner.

you cant really count serra as just a TUF winner since he was fighting in the ufc before he was on TUF

[Legend]

That's a tough call imo. I went with Forrest bc Bj is no stranger to fighting bigger stronger ground fighters. And while Stevenson is a BJJ guy and not a wrestler like Hughes I doubt his BJJ is better then Penn's. Plus after seeing Forrest upset Shogun I am not about to doubt him.

[leedogg900]

even tho i dont think eithor will win, i have to go with forrest.

bj penn is alot better at everything compared to stevenson. way better striking, way better on the ground, more flexible, better takedown defense, and niethor of them have great cardio.

forrest could possibly, but i doubt it, have some advantages. like being in better shape and possibly better striking, but i doubt it also. but one advantage id say he has for sure is hes more skilled with bjj.

[krayven]

I'm not counting Forrest out. I think Rampage will win this one but i'd be comfortable betting on Forrest cuz hes a fighter you can't just count out.

BJ ain't losing tho. Unless he shows up completely out of shape

[peno]

Sorry but I gotta go with Stevenson. I just got a feeling. I think BJ's gonna win but in the back of my mind I honestly think Joe Daddy can pull the upset. I said it before, if Daddy gets BJ in a guilotine (spelling) or a rear naked choke BJ is fucked.

Forrest is getting KO'd early. Seriously. If he trades with Rampage he's gonna lose. I know Forrest is improving and evolving and all that but so is Page.

Either way you cut it we got 2 really good fights to look forward to.

[Frasedog]

I don't see either Forrest, or Stevenson winning, but if I had to choose one, I'd say Forrest has a better shot.
