I have really been impressed with how Forrest has evolved from a tough as nails brawler to a more technical fighter who usually has a good game plan and comes in shape. All that being said his chin isn't top grade and I think he is tailor made for Anderson. He will push the Spider but in the end I see Anderson getting a 3rd round KO.

on a side note 101 is shaping up to be a pretty good card. Considering that Thiago Silva has been training to fight Griffin I bet they find him an opponent for the card as well.
Damn is this match made, great fight, the thing I love about MMA is that the top fights get made and made quickly
Should be a great fight. Although I can see Forrest causing Anderson some problems I still think Silva will get a TKO late in the second round.
The rumor mill says that Thiago will now face Jardine at 102
i find silva vs griffin to be a COLOSSAL waste of time
silva should be fighting akiyama
Well I think the logic was to give him a top LHW contender. Once you take Rashad/Lyota out of the mix that leaves you with Jardine/Forrest/Rampage. They are obviously saving Rampage to fight the winner of the Rashad fight. So I guess they figured Forrest was the best bet. Honestly I would put Forrest in against Jardine to see if he could redeem himself. I am pretty sure had Chuck won he would have fought Anderson but we all know what happened there. Shogun simply hasn't done enough to earn a major fight like that yet.
