    mhmm. not to sure. i would like to see Forrest win, but i just dont think he has it in him to beat Quinton. I agree with Koscheck, Stevenson and Frank. The rest I dont know enough to have a fair judgement.

    Starting to lean toward Jorge. What do you guys think?

    Thanks,

    This is a big step up for Miller. However, everytime I watch Gurgel live, he loses. So by virtue of that fact, and the fact that I'm going to order the PPV, Gurgel's going to lose. :)

    I picked Almeida, Aurelio, and Gurgel.

    I agree with you except I pick Almeida to win, his submissions are surperb.

    Also I'm not writing Forrest off, I think Jackson will probably take it but after Forrest/Shogun I'm never writing off Forrest again!

    but shogun gassed in the first round, so you know he didn't train properly. an in shape shogun should have beat griffin.

    Can't really say that as they've not fought before, or against similar opponents. There's nothing to really compare them. Yeah, I think Shogun lost 'cause of his cardio, but who's to say that Forrest wouldn't have beaten him anyway? We can't judge fights on what should have happened, only on what actually happened.
