Great news to see Forrest fighting again soon. Looks like UFC 66 is shaping up to be one of the year's best.
Personally, I'd like to see him beat Rashad Evans. I used to hate Rashad for his lack of ability to end fights. He used to just clinch, ground but no pound (or not much of it). I thought he was a boring fighting overall. Seemed like just did what he had to do to win the decision. To make things worse, he got split and majority decisions. Not even unanimous. He just bothered me with his lack of ability to finish a fight. At that point, I disliked Rashad Evans. To see a guy 9-0 when they haven't had a decisive victory is annoying.
But I have to say, when he knocked out Jason Lambert at UFC 63, the first things that came out of my drunken mouth were "There we go! He CAN finish a fight." which I guess proved to me that it wasn't that I disliked Rashad Evans, but that I just wanted to see him win decisively.
Griffin and Evans would make a pretty good fight. My only problem with it, is that Evans would no doubt make the fight more boring. Griffin needs someone able and willing to swing with him, and Rashad isn't that guy. Evans would keep the fight clinched, whether standing or on the ground. I do see Griffin winning by KO if the fight happens though.
