I've never picked Rich Franklin to win a fight in my life and I'm not going to start now. Forrest by SD.

Prediction: correct Griffin   correct Decision  

If Franklin can use his footwork and keep this fight on the feet as a kickboxing match, he's got a good chance. I think Forrest will be able to get inside and take the fight to where he is strongest.

Franklin outpointing him on the standup. Pretty boring fight cuz it'll look like Forrest is just sparring.

This one should be a good matchup. I think Franklin will get the better of Griffin in a good fight going the distance.

Prediction: wrong Franklin   wrong Decision  

The hardest fight on the card for me to pick. Tow of my favorites, fighting for a chance to regain their their glory. Griffin will obviously have size on his side, and if Couture has trained him to use the clinch, Franklin might be in real trouble - but I'm going with Ace because, if it is going to happen, it has to happen here.

this fight has close decision stamped on its face!!!! i dont see griffin knocking franklin out...cuz thats not forrests strength, but i also see forrests chin taking all ace's shots...on the ground, their 2 of the most underrated bjj fighters in the world, and i think they'll negate each other there...i see ace winning a split-atom-close decision.

Excited about this fight as neither plays it safe, but when all things are equal the bigger guy usually wins.
Rich and forrest have such similar strengths and are so closely matched i think itll be a great fight but come down to everything being so close to equal size makes the difference.

Really enjoyed this fight.  I was surprised griffin was able to give rich that wide eyed desperate look he had with anderson, but rich hung in there and it was a great fight.
