Do you think that will happen?

No, not really. But if the same Forrest who fought Rampage shows up, I think he could win a decision.

I'm pretty sure there's only one incarnation of Forrest, just as there is no old or new Vitor. He's just Vitor.

Forrest gets his shit pushed in at 114.

Yeah, but you know fighters have their good days and their bad days. Also, some fighters do change over time, either getting better or getting worse as they go, and often significantly transforming their skill sets, like wrestlers becoming strikers and strikers getting good on the ground.

Just like he was supposed to at 86 and 76, presumably. . .

Ill admit, I didnt think Griffin would win either of those fights.

I see Griffin a lot like I see Serra. He's a dog to a lot of guys and rightfully so, but he has a special something where he can beat just about anyone on any given night. In that sense, he's a wildcard and hard to bet against.

Yeah but he hasn't really gotten any better. His last fight with Tito, same old Forrest.

He beat Rampage because it was a good matchup for him, considering Rampage was just trying to land the home run the whole fight. He fought a smart strategy and beat Rampage's legs down and kept him at bay. Good day, bad day...it is what it is.

I get that you want to believe he can win and that's fine, but how is he gonna win? Outwork Nog? Doesn't seem likely to me. Just because Forrest won two fights he was supposed to lose doesn't mean he will win this one. He was supposed to lose to Anderson too and lose he did, in a more dominant fashion than anyone could have possibly imagined.

I never said he WOULD win . . . I said he COULD win. And it's not that far out there.

Who has Lil Nog even really beat since getting knocked out by Sokoudjou? Matyushenko and Cane?

If you want to bet on Nog then you can feel free to do so--in fact, since you're so confident I'll have some questions for you if you have not done so by fight night--but at -200 or worse, I won't touch it.

LOL relax.

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

I'm very relaxed.

I'm just saying that if you are all like "how can Forrest win this fight? doesn't seem likely to me" then -215 sounds like pretty good odds.
