Forrest Griffin vs Tito

[OmaPlata]

UFC 59 has them to fight. Ill take Griffen by KO

Hmmm, I'm gonna go with Tito on this one.

Lemme just say Im not doing this just to disagree with you omoplata... I think Tito's superior wrestling will give him this fight.

I've seen a bunch of Forrest's fights outside UFC and that, and I saw him take it to horn before getting a unlucky head kick.

However, I see Tito pounding out a fairly boring decision. Only person I can remmeber knocking him out is Chuck Lidell, maybe Frank Shamrock, but that was on the ground so im not sure if its really a KO.

I think id have to give the stand up to griffen.... wrestling/gnp, easily to tito... Jiu Jitsu... I dont know.... but I doubt will be seeing Tito sub anyone anytime soon.

I think its gonna be Tito taking him down and pounding him for 15 minutes.

Griffon has been pretty impressive against "lesser known" fighters. I dont mean to put down the fighters hes beaten, because they are incredibly good to be at that level but I dont know if theyre up to par with Ortiz. I personally hate Ortiz, bit of a Lions Den nuthugger i guess you could say.

Itll be a good fight in my opinion. Hopefully it wont turn out overhyped and then be a bit lackluster like the Quarry/Franklin fight. From all the hype in that fight I was hoping to see a KO, but not by franklin. Anyways, itll be a good fight I think.

Forest is my favorite new fighter.

Having said that.
I believe if Tito is not at the top of his game (he should be rusty & BETTER NOT underestimate Forest) Forest will win.

If not, Forest should give Tito a real run for his $ & shine here.
This fight should bring Forest some serious respect, I look forward to this more than Huges/Gracie.

I say Tito wins by Ground and Pound or corner stoppage.

I can't see him not preparing for this fight, its his first fight back, and he cant afford to flop. It would wreck his reputation as a fighter, and his career, and it would give Dana white the one up on him, with their past I can see Tito training hard.

With that said, anyone remember what happened when someone knocked Tito's ring rust off him last time? haha.

THINK LOGICAL...

tito has been gone for sometime.. what has he been doing..

he's been training his stand up.. he was coach by fernando vargas before his encounter w/ chuck.. but too little time..
stand up is hard work and it takes time to get it.. wrestlers have a hard time w/ the change from ground to stand up... some got it..

so i think tito is gonna win..

[SamuraiGuy]

Plus getting jabbed in the eye and not being able to see the punches hurts your chances lol.... bet Vargas never had to deal with that... just having the right side of his face caved in by De La Hoya.. (love that fight).

I dont support all the chuck eye gouge theories.. but he clearly does it to tito seconds before he knocks him out.

Tito's so boring I hope he gets pounded-if Forrest can stay out from underneath him I think Forrest has a chance. Otherwise Tito's experience factor may win the day.
