I would like to see Forest win this one just because he's just a likeable guy that shows a hell of a lot of heart in his fights. I see him being a top contendor one day when hes a much more well rounded fighter.

I am going to agree with git on this one guys. Bisping is a much more well rounded fighter right now. He has faced better competition in cage rage and has won all his fights in devastating fashion that I have watched.

Bottom line he has a more complete game RIGHT NOW. Rashad has alot of potential as does Forrest but right now the count is the future of LHW in UFC. I don't see him getting beaten by the current UFC roster for 2-3 years or until he fights chuck. Now if ZUFFA brings in more talent from Pride at 205 then its a whole new ballgame.

Think about about he has the stand up game and a sick submission game. Rashad and Forrest are both one dimensional fighters right now.

So, we all agree that the winner of Rashad/Forrest match should fight BISPING before a title shot?

Actually I don't think any of them are deserving of a title shot right now. But if one of them was to get it bisping should be the gatekeeper. Babalu should fight all three of them. The only one with a chance against Renato is Bisping. I would think Babalu would win though.

Right now Rashad, Forrest and Bisping are all relative newcomers. UFC needs to get more veterans with a higher skill level. Before I will commit to any of those guys getting a DESERVED title shot.

i am a huge bisping fan..imo he has a better shot at being a champion than forrest or rashad..but..none of these guys are ready for title shots..the only reason they are considered is because there isnt anyone else..keep your eye on wilson gouvea..i think he is gonna be a force..id like to see bisping fight him first..or keuth jardine and bisping would be good..
