Forrest has less power, poorer boxing technique, weaker wrestling, a softer chin, and superior submissions. That's one area in the entire realm of MMA that he has an advantage and it's not even that large of an advantage. Rampage has fought guys with much better BJJ like Arona and Bustamante and avoided the submissions, I doubt Forrest has anything he hasn't seen there. Cardio-wise I'm not sure who I give the nod to. I think that Griffin's a bit overrated in terms of his conditioning and to give him the nod in that department, particularly when he hasn't even been in a five-rounder and Rampage has, is ludicrous. If anything I'll call this a draw though I actually favor Rampage here as well. Forrest's best shot is to catch Rampage in a submission and that's going to be very hard to do from the bottom, which is where I expect him to be if the fight goes to the ground.
He doesn't have any deadly attacks. He's an above-average fighter whose heart and toughness has carried him farther than his skill, and as much as I hate it for him, it's going to be very apparent that he never belonged in the cage with Rampage.
