Who's your pick for UFC 86 Between Griffin & Rampage?

Question

Give actual common sense answer with a reason to back it up, not "cuz he sucks, or he's stupid".

I'll shoot in my opinion in the detail section later on.

Answer 1

Rampage for one reason only... He beat Chuck Liddell.

Answer 2

TAO- That means that Rampage is the favorite, that means you have to bet $260 to get $100 on Rampage, and if you bet $100 dollars on Griffin you will win 200, Make sense??

Rampage is too good on his feet and has to good of a coach in Juanito Ibarra.  Rampageis 6-0 since training with Ibarra.

Forrest is a BIG DUDE and he has the heart of a champion and I think with a little more experience at the level he is fighting at now and he will definetly hold a title someday, i just don't think he will take it from Rampage yet.

Answer 3

rampage will win. forrest is smarter but rampages head is like 2 inches thick he can take so many shots. i see rampage knockin forrest out

Answer 4

Rampage has better strikes and is a stronger wrestler,  I really can't see Forrest taking this one unless Rampage  comes in out of shape.

Answer 5

Well Vegas books are favoring Forrest Griffin 200 to -260 over Rampage.  I have to agree with those odds.  

Forrest beat Shogun Rua by submission; which nobody has ever done before.  That says more than anything to me.  Forrest can take a punch, has a good corner and a good fighting mind and works like a madman.  I see Forrest winning a really really good fight.

Rampage is a gifted athelete and a personal favorite, don't get me wrong. I just think Forrest has more tools.  Rampage tends to brute force dominate his opponents.  Forrest won't let that happen, and he's durable enough to weather the storm and win.

Answer 6

Rampage. He's a much better striker and a better all around fighter than Griffin.

Griffin only beat Rua because Rua's knee was blown out. If Rua was 100% going in I think it would have been different.

Answer 7

I wanna say Rampage but i'm gonna go with forrest by unanimous decision. I think he will have a smart approach to this fight and pull through...or Griffen will get knocked the **** out 2nd rd.

Answer 8

Rampage due to experience and his ability to strike.  Griffin is a good striker, but lacks experience.

Answer 9

rampage

griffin is a good fighter indeed but the reason he beat shogun won't happen with rampage.

page won't lay on his back and he won't get tired and he will trade with griffin and most likely KO him and stop the fight in jardin like fashion rd 1.

griffin will have to physically get rampage on the ground and keep him there and try for a submission I feel if he wants to win.

Answer 10

I like both fighters but on paper it would be Rampage.  In reality I think Forest has a good chance because he has amazing conditioning and if he takes the fight to the ground he could pull the upset.  Rampage's best chance is a stand-up because if Jardine could beat Forest, Rampage could do it as well.

Overall, it is going to be an amazing match because you cannot count Forest's heart (ala Amir on TUF).

Answer 11

I think Rampage will win just because he is bigger and stronger than. I see him slamming Forrest over and over again. I really like this match up though because Forrest has slick submissions. Forrest knows how to take a punch, and a pounding. I just don't think his punches are going to have as much power as Rampage will.

Answer 12

GRIFFEN ALL THE WAY!

1.  He was the original Ultimate Fighter.

2.  He beat the best in 205 Show Gun

3.  I think after season 7 of Forrest vs.Rampage, Rampage is upset that his team really didn't do that good.

(yes he has a fighter in the finale) But still I see Amir Winning over CB

4.  Rampage has it in his head that he can't get beat by Forrest , you have to be mentally ready for a fight not just physically, therefore he will have things on his head all threw the fight.

Answer 13

Id have to say Rampage.  I just think hes a notch ahead of Forrest.  Still, styles make fights...

Answer 14

i like rampage but i think thats gone go to griffin because he's a warrior

Answer 15

Griffin- he is much faster. he's a little smaller, but he more than makes up for this in speed
