I got Rampage winning this fight and remaining the Champ.

Disagree?

Accept the Throwdown!


If you have watched the Ultimate Fighter this season you see 1 very big difference. Griffin can analyze fighters and give 1 guy a way to beat the other. Rampage is simply a fun guy. He is no doubt a great fighter, but Griffin has had ample time to review and analyze him. Advantage Griffin.

For example, when Amir fought the wrestling guy. Rampage simply reinforced the wrestlers ability to take down and wrestle. Griffin taught Amir that every time hes taken down is an opportunity to get up and catch him. He taught him to scramble up and strike, What happened? Amir was dominated, taken down 4 times before he caught him with a knee on the way up, fight over. Amir the underdog the winner.

Griffin is no doubt the underdog, but for some reason he always seems to be the underdog. I really do believe that Forest will find a way to defeat Rampage. MMA is also an artform, 1 method against another, there are holes in every game. Forest will find the hole and get the biggest win of his career.

Rampage is the champ and dominates. He has been in almost twice as many fights and only has 1 more loss then Griffin.He has won his last 6 fights (Griffin won his last 2). Yes, Griffin is the better coach, but when it comes to fight night.....Rampage is the man. Griffin is a HUGE underdog! Rampage is a champion and has title(s) to prove it.
Griffin is a great fighter, dont get me wrong, but needs to bring the fight of his life to pull this one out. I believe most people would agree with that.

Thats what I thought. Rampage is taking it.

Forrest Griffin may not be the strongest or best fighter. But he is one of the smartest with one of the strongest chins in MMA.

Though I really would love to see Forrest win, I don't see it. But I admire Frank in taking this TD. Most people wouldn't. It's a hell of an uphill battle.

forrest has got a heck of chin and even bigger heart but i think the difference in this fight is going to rampages athleticism. forrest's strong point to me is his ability to stand toe to toe and drop bombs. rampage when facing the best bomb thrower i've seen in the iceman can counteract that with great athleticism just as he did with liddell twice. i think rampage takes him

Two starting arguments from both sides. Rampage will win, but Frank's argument is much superior, so far.

Heh, Serra beat GSP once. Forrest has a puncher's chance (or slightly more than that...).

Rampage is the better fight and should win.

Frank made a good first argument...but then bailed.
