I think he does as well. I think he submits him again though

If I could find a way to fund my bodog account, I would put money on that Griffin 3 round decision.

Forrest does have a shot again if he just uses his size to try and wear Shogun down, but I suspect a standup clinic from Shogun on Saturday.

He always is that way. He sounded the same before the last Ortiz and Franklin fights. He will bring it Sat. Night.

Shogun v Griffin is interesting to me just because I really thought both fighters have had potential soul taking losses recently. Forrest obviously beat Franklin so we'll see if Rua can show some soul.

I personally am leaning towards Griffin. To wear Rua down. I personally hope I'm wrong and want Rua to knock Griffin out.

It is all mind games. He will be in shape and will be able to wear him down.

I haven't needed to add more money to my account but I know somone who wanted to add more funds but he wasn't allowed to do it. There's no mention of this issue on bodog but I wonder if this is tied in to the US government cracking down on offshore betting.

I can't talk about the Rua/Griffin fight unbiasedly. I just hope Rua is in better shape, worked on take down defense, and has a fire inside.
