It's just the right thing.

Sonnen should be fighting Forest for his lhw debut and JJ should be fighting Hendo.....

i dont know im having mixed feelings, i dont want these guys to have needless brain damage in their going out party, i thought foorest wanted to make another run and bonnar could do it if he wanted, and of course no one not even the originators could top the first fight

Very little interest in this fight, it's fun but I was really interested in seeing Forrest/Sonnen; I think Forrest is more interesting against a wrestler than a striker at this point of his career. And I would love to see Bonnar/Page (though maybe not now that Glover/Page is likely to happen). Overall, I just don't see a need for trilogies where there aren't implications to the win, isn't a rubber match, whatever.
That said, I hadn't heard about Griffin and Bonnar volunteering to live in the house. I absolutely would watch that season!

Chael could fight Rich that would be about the same in terms of sales, and meaning (if Rich is still fighting lhw or catch weight). I stand by Forrest-Bonnar, neither one is gonna get a title shot so what's wrong with a fun fight? Yes I think it will be fun.

There are better bets to be made that you could actually profit off of. Forest isn't the same fighter anymore and is winding down.

I figured Bonnar/Maldonado would get matched up..Feed Forrest to Glover.
