|  Joe Daddy or Forrest Griffin?
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 don't think anyone in the LW division really has a good chance at beating BJ Penn. I mean BJ is undoubtedly the best grappler, one of the best strikers, one of the best wrestlers, and he has decent conditioning now. BJ Penn is the p4p greatest fighter in mma today. It's for these reasons that Forrest has a better chance.

I give Forrest a decent chance, but Joe Daddy could prove me wrong.

I think they'll both win their title fights.
Forrest I think has a better match-up related chance to win.
But I think noone still knows just how good Stevenson is. He's made very good fighters look very average, so I just don't know. I think BJ will walk out of the cage, win or lose, and will admit to this being the toughest fight he's ever had.

Matt Hughes beat BJ pretty convincingly their last fight, and I would say Joe Daddy is a better wrestler than Hughes, and has a similar strength advantage over BJ in LW as Hughes had over BJ in WW. So having said that, I would pick Joe Daddy as having the better shot.

|  BJ and Forest, Great fights
I think BJ and Forest will win these fights. They both have something to prove. BJ wants a title back and Forest wants to prove he is at the top of the food chain in the LHW division of the UFC. These would be great fights no matter who put them on, and the quality of the opponents is the best there is in the MMA. Joe "Daddy" is one tough striker and has good ground skills. Rampage is the best just because he is the Champion and beat the very best to get the title.

I think forrest has a much better chance than stevenson. Forrest has decent enough stand up to atleast hang with rampage on the feet. IMO there is no way this fight will go to the ground because latley rampage hasn't showed any interest on going to the ground in any of his fights and forrest isin't strong enough to take rampage down. So this fight will stay standing and forrest has a slight chance to take it.
Stevenson however really has no chance IMO because he doesn't really have BJ beat in anything. They are both great bjj fighters but BJ is on a different level compared to any lightweight there. BJ has better standup, and he has great takedown defense. So he can keep the fight standing if he wants, or he can let it go to the ground and do what he does better then anybody
