Heart is something in fighters you will never be able to measure and it is the reason why Randy Cotoure is loved and so successful. Forrest has heart but it will only give him enough courage to get in the Ogtagon against "the #1 LHW in the world". After the shut that cage door, you can have heart sit right next to Rogan and Goldie cuz it will help him as much as they can. Heart comes into play when a fighter is a LITTLE less in hieght, size, or speed. Sometimes even if a fighter is a LITTLE less in talent but the margin of talent between these two fighters is so big heart will get lost in the arena on the way to the cage.
Very good point. But even though I've got my Jiminy Cricket calling me a jackass, I'm going to be stubborn on this one.

Don't let Jiminy Cricket mess up your gut feeling, it might ending up being another Cro-cop/Kongo. Ill be the first to tell you that there was no way, IMO, that Kongo had a chance. This is why MMA is better than every other sport. Everyone has a punchers chance and unlike the BIG 3, it is not a team sport so the "big heart" guys can be successful instead of being a bright spot on a bad team. Good luck on you picks...

*sigh* cro cop cleaned out alot of points, luckily I made a smallish bet and recovered very slightly with Jackson. Im going to bet on Shogun as he is my second fav fighter in the world...
