    I bought his book right after UFC 100 earlier this month, and the book is just awesome, dude is funny as hell but knows what hes talking about. I'm excited for this fight, because it's really going to show how much Anderson Silva wants to be a fighter, or if he's just content sitting back and dancing for 3-5 rounds. Griffin will stand with him a bit and test to see if he can use some of his much improved kickboxing to try to out point him, in a similar way he did to Rampage. Ultimately I don't see Silva losing this fight, but I think Griffin has the ability to win this fight no matter where it goes though.

    Forrest is awesome.

    I can see him winning by a RNC a la the Rua fight, or if he can somehow catch Anderson.

    But that's about it.

    GO FORREST

    I hope Anderson Silva tears Griffin apart. Griffin is a likable fighter but I want to see him classic Silva Muay Thai shit in this fight.

    I'm split on who I want to win. I definitely want to see the fight though.

    I think Silvia knocks him out in Round 2. There isn't much Forrest brings to this fight Silvia hasn't seen before. There's no element of surprise to confuse Silvia and eventually his body shots are going to find it's range, then the knees and eventually a flurry of shots to Griffin's face.
