|  Which TUF alum has the best chance of winning the belt?
Joe Stevenson is fighting BJ Penn for the LW Belt & Forrest Griffin is fighting Rampage Jackson for the LHW belt... which one has the better chance of winning?
I don't think either has a very good chance to be honest, but if I had to pick one it would be Forrest having a better chance than Joe. Forrest, I believe w/ pure heart may be able to outlast & outtough Rampage (though I highly doubt it) and Stevenson may be able to beat Penn 1 out of 10 fights, compared to Forrests 25% chance of winning.

I picked Joe Daddy because I don't think Forrest will even begin to scratch the surface with Rampage. But, what the hell do I know.

Forrest also has the Randy factor here, Randy is very familiar with Rampage and i'm sure Forrest will have a top of the line gameplan. Joe Stevenson doesn't have any factor here imo lol, he can't punch hard enough to rock BJ, he doesn't have the ground game of BJ, and he does have strength on BJ but it's definitely nothing Penn (got tired of typing BJ) hasn't seen before... and nothing he won't be able to handle. If Stevenson can survive into the 4th he may have a slight chance, but I don't see him being able to handle Penn on the feet or ground for 15 minutes.

With the options I went with Forrest simply because he trains with Randy who will most likely advise Forrest with a very good game plan. And for that reason and that reason only I give him the over Stevenson but I still think both of their chances are close to equal, that not being very good.

i picked forrest because he is one of the best fighters in mma and he did just beat the number one pound for pound fighter in the world (shogun). jackson is a great fighter but forrest will be ready for anything jacksons got.

You may be right, but i'd like to see him perform a little more consistently before I went out on that limb. His heart keeps him in a fight with anybody though... as long as he's awake he's fighting.
