I knew I was out there for Forrest, but I truly expected KenFlo to do better. BJ is da man ... no denying.

Sherdog nuthuggers are calling for GSP vs Anderson, butt if he's dropping the 205lb guys with jabs I don't think GSP could compete.

i won both of um. told ya pick
Silva would drop GSP like a sack of moldy tangerines. GSP hasn't fought a good striker with footwork. The only decent sriker GSP has faced is Alves and Alves' footwork is terrible. GSP has nowhere near the power to even make Silva flinch. The tactic of coming in with pitter patter strikes then going for the takedown is not wise against a guy like Silva. If he misses the takedown, Silva will make him pay. Silva also has a cast iron jaw. On the rare occasions when he has been hit, he shrugs it off.
Silva is better served by moving up in weight. Silva also has yet to face a decent striker. Somebody who can actually put pressure on him and cut off the octagon will give him problems. Henderson had a good go on Silva. I actually gave Henderson the first round in their fight and Henderson is only fair at cutting off the Octagon.
I tend to think the announcers overdramatize the weakness of the strike that finished Griffin. Silva hit him right on the tip of the chin as he Griffin was stepping in with his feet crossed. It was a hard and accurate hit.
I also noticed that the announcers try to minimize the damage certain competitors inflict and overdramatize the damage other competitors inflict. This was very evident in the Almeida v. Grove fight. Grove did next to nothing asside from a very close arm bar, yet the announcers kept making it sound as if it was a close fight. Grove lands one head snapper of an upercut and suddenly they think he's got Almeida in trouble. Almeida almost dropped Grove with overhand rights several times and according to the announcers all Almeida got in during the round is a bunch of takedowns and GnP which did no damage.
One rule change I would like to see happen is penalties for strikers that stall. Strikers who back out of guards are running in my opinion and should be penalized. They would penalize a grappler that just scooted around the ring on his butt waiting for an opponent to come into his guard. Why is it different for strikers who refuse to play the ground game with grapplers? There is a very anti-grappling bias in most MMA leagues.

Machida never fought Forrest Bro,
But its speculated he is going to have to deal with Silva.
They promised each other to not fight though...
