Under PRIDE Rules {w/ elbows legalized}, who would win, PRIDE's Alistair Overeem or UFC's Forrest Griffin.

I don't think so....
Overeem has never really defeated anybody that good, and tends to come up short in big fights. It'd most likely be a total brawl with a decision going either way.

Overeem has the advantage in my opinion. It can go either way.

overeem could definitely put Forrest away fast. he has a sick guillotine, and muuuuch better standup then sloppy-ass griffin.
Forrest's only chance is sto survive all the sub attempts, take the shots if he can, and win when Alistair gasses in the 5th minute of the 1st

I say this because CHUCK LIDDELL Who is a dangerous striker couldnt hang with Overeem until Overeem punched himself out, he forced Chuck to take the fight to the ground.. so you really think that Forrest Griffin whos standup is on pluto compared to Chuck's could hang with Overeem? doubt it.. the Demolion man takes some of the best angles in the LHW division.. the guy is quick, and explosive with his knees, he can throw fists, kicks, elbows.. his standup is highly underrated.
