    Re: End of the year UFC card (December 29th)

    I just watched UFC Tonight on FuelTV, and heard that Chael is moving up.

    Interesting, let the fun begin if Chael wins. I'd love to see the 205ers he's dissed over the years get a crack at him.

      RR beat me to it. Has Griffin ever faced a wrestler of Chael's caliber? I know he fought Evans but that was when Evans was in love with his standup.

        Forrest triangled Sonnen years ago. I think this is stylistically a bad matchup for Sonnen. He's very big & strong with very underrated bjj. That being said, he's been awful lately.

          I always hear about Griffin's underrated BJJ (STFU Rogan), but can't remember seeing it. I want Sonnen to rip through the division and see if he can get in Jones's head. And here's your wrestler for Gus

            Wait...wait...

            I have to root for Forrest, after his ******** antics with Tito (and Silva to an extent), or Sonnen, and his ******** antics?

            Damn that sucks.

              Damn. Two of my favorites going at it. This is going to be tough, but I may have to give the nod to Sonnen in this one just because I think he has more potential to make a run at the title at this point in his career.

                That is because most of his submission victories were prior to his UFC days. Forrest had 5 submission victories out of his 1st 10 wins of being a MMA fighter. In the UFC however he has only 1 submission victory and that was against Shogun 5 years ago.

                  Then I'd like to see who he fought then. In the time I've seen him on his back, it was nothing impressive.

                    He has 2, he subbed Bill Mahood as well.

                    He subbed Chael before. I know guys change, but he has been triangled numerous times.

                      Chael has improved his sub defense and Forrest has slowed down a lot. Can Forrest get off his back? If not this is going to be a boring fight.

                        You really think Chael improved his sub defense ? Really ? Considering he lost 6 additional fights to submissions AFTER the Griffin fight ? I can't call that an improvement in sub defense.

                          Mainly since the Silva fight. It still may not be good enough, but he has improved.

                            That like saying a RB improves his YPC from 1.1 to 2.5. Good improvement, but what does it really do? If his sub defense really improved he wouldn't have gotten caught in that submission that everyone that has any sense of MMA knew was coming.
