Prediction: correct Griffin   correct Decision  

Forrest and Tito are both coming off tough KO losses and this being Tito's last fight I don't see him winning, unless Forrest gets caught like what happened in Tito's fight with Ryan Bader. I thnk Forrest will either pull of a KO or a Decision win here.

I think if the fight with Shogun was in Vegas and his wife wasn't going into labor at the time that fight would of gone alot different. I'm not saying Forest would of won but I think he would of been able to atleast put up a fight and lose a decision.
I think Forest will be in alot better mind state in this fight and should be able to defeat Tito pretty handily.

The first two fights were pretty similar.  The third will probably be more of the same.  Griffin by decision .

Agreed @AnAlias.... I think Griffen will take a UD this time... no questions on the 3rd fight.

Forrest will definitely get the UD, Forrest is my favorite fighter, but I almost want to see him lose this one just to keep Tito in the UFC, Forrest could probably lose 3-4 in a row and not get let go

Should be another tough fight for both fighters.  These guys just match up well against each other.  Pick Forrest by (this time) Unanimous Decision

This is such a tough fight to call. I see this being a stand up war which Forrest will win via UD.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing Tito going out on another spectacular 'Bader-like victory', I don't see it happening. Although a technical knockout is likely as well I think Griffin will take it via UD.

The more I think about this fight, the less I am interested in it.  I know it makes sense due to the circumstances.. but isn't anyone else tired of the re-matches running rampant?

Yes. Especially with Tito. I'm interested 'cause it's gonna be the last Tito fight ever (according to Tito...for now).

Prediction: wrong Ortiz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 1  

I have little faith in Forrest's takedown defense; and less confidence in his chin. Tito always has had a good first round against Griffin in their previous bouts. Im calling the big upset here. Tito finishes Griffin with his patented old school Ground and Pound late in the first round and closes the book on a hall of fame career.

Forrest wins this fight.  Shogun and Silva may have been able to KO Griffin, but a 37 year old Ortiz won't.
