Rich vs Forrest would be a really good fight but Chuck vs Forrest sounds good but i love them both too much so i hope it doesnt happen
i think either chuck or franklin v forrest would be a great fight. but wtf was up with that sticking his head up dana's ass.
About time Forrest gets back in there! I wonder what happens to the loser of the fight though.
Cant wait to see the 'new' Chuck hope hes as good as people make out, Forrest v Chuck cant predict until we see the new chuck (If he wins that is) Forrest has got his confidence back with his last win and he will also be confident that the man he beat has the belt, I know Shogun is a completly different fighter now and I personally think Shogun would beat Forrest now but still Forrest will take alot of pride and confidence into that and he will be looking on getting back on the title trail.
Forrest v Franklin both really good fighters both destroyed by Anderson but still would be a good fight both prefer the stand up but both really talented on the ground so would be good but I most say Foorrest is much more bigger than Rich so maybe he is too strong and heavy for Rich...maybe.
I think Forrest will win both fights but Chucks next performance may change my mind.

woohoo winner gets to KO Forest.
If the winner of this fight will have to face Forrest Griffin, that's really sad IMO.
In all honesty, I think Rich is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC IMO. He has lost to Silva (x2), Henderson (By Split) and Belfort. Which really no one should take shame in any of those loses. And his only loss outside the UFC is to Machida. Im picking him to beat Chuck, and then likely beat Forest aswell.
If this was Rich vs Ortiz, Most people here would pick franklin to walk all over him. And Forest can barely make it past Tito nowadays.
Damn ! Liddel with a 6 Packs !!! Holy Shit !!! First time I see him have more than just 1 pack... :)
