both guys are grinders, i can't pick a winner in this one

Lengthy White Boy vs Explosive Black Boy. Seen it a thousand times.

Get what I'm saying? It's either Rashad by KO or Forrest by Decision, Forrest's style doesn't really suit Rashad's well.

This is a guy who got caught by Jardine, who comes from the Jackson school.

Guess where Rashad's from.

Jardine is a guy who got dismantled by Wanderlei Silva, who is from Xtreme Couture.

Guess where Forrest is from.

I have a feeling that Forrest can deal with him.

This is a tough one to call. But I see Forrest getting the decision here.

forrest will lose, gotta keep the trend of getting a new ufc champ every weekend.

but seriously, anyone with half decent boxing skills will dominate in the ufc.

like Nate Quarry?

Forrest will expose Rashad as the overrated spoonfed clown that he is. how is he even getting a title shot? there's at least 5 205ers that are better fighters than that buffon and his grossly inflated record. the only names he's beaten is a washed up Ortiz and declining Lidell (who almost knocked him out, Rashad's punch landed about 2 seconds before Chuck's would have).

Jab go eat a ****-sandwich.. Rashad is explosive and a championship caliber wrestler.. he has developed in front of are eyes into a well-rounded fighter who can win on his feet and the ground.. never really seen him in trouble and dont plan on it in this fight.. also he drawd with Tito!

i say Rashad has about 2 and half rounds to win this fight, after that i expect him to gas. Forrest will not gas, so if he can just drag rashad into deep waters, he should win this fight.

hard fight to pick, but right now i'd go with Forrest. (although i'll be rooting for Rashad)

my bad, i was mistaken on the Tito fite, Tito lost a point for holding the fence rite? which means that Rashad would have lost to a washed up wrestler who wasn't smart enough to let go of the cage. if u like Rashad then thats ur business, but i don't really think he's that great. the point i was trying to make is that he hasn't really fought any legitimate competition at 205 to warrant him getting a title shot

This probaly one of the hardest fights to call but I will go with Evans. I think Evans is gonna have to try get Forrest out there early cos no way he is lasting 5rounds with Griffin.

I see the fight this way, but it is hard to pick a winner. I wont be betting cash on it thats for sure.

I would like Forrest to win, if he gets through this some exciting title fights can be made further down the line.

Plus i dont fancy watching Evans breakdancing in the middle of the octagon with the gold around his waist

Wanderlei via KO R1 either of them.
