Two former UFC Light Heavyweight Champions will meet at UFC 134 when Forrest Griffin and Shogun Rua meet in the Octagon for a second time in Brazil next weekend.

Griffin holds a win over Rua in their first fight at UFC 76, Rua's UFC debut, and Griffin talked about the differences between then and now while on the UFC 134 conference call yesterday.

"Guys maybe at their core don't change, but he looks a lot different. That was his first fight in the UFC. That was his first fight in the cage. That was his first fight without kicks on the ground. So, it's different." Griffin said.

"I think it's still a reasonably good fight for me. You look around at 205 (pounds) – find me the easy fight. There's no easy fights in the top-10 guys. It doesn't really matter."
