Re: UFC 76
What "upsets" have their been this year ?
UFC 68, did you really think that an even more 1-D fighter than K-cop would really beat Couture?
UFC 69, the only real shocker IMO with Serra vs GSP.
UFC 70, All GG had to do was lay n pray 2 rounds to win. Instead he did much more but even if he just wrested for 10 minutes he woulda won.
UFC 71, how was Liddell the favorite to win I still don't understand ? The hype around him was unreal. I mean who was the last great striker he lost to ? Rampage .. after the Rampage/Liddell 1st fight all he did was fight wrestlers ... and we all know he's nearly impossible to take/keep down.
To the hype most of those are big upsets but if u research the fights they weren't really except the GSP/Serra fight. With Griffin/Shogun I see no way how Forrest could possible outstrike Shogun. Shogun is aggressive and TOUGH. Forrest is tough but he's just far to slow IMO to handle the Shogun onslaught. Shogun's strengths in this fight are Forrest's strengths times 5 and he has REAL KO power. I mean Forrests's first few fights after his TUF finale win were against chumps who he was supposed to beat/KO in order to hype him up even further. I really like Forrest and love to watch him fight but I just realistically just don't see how he is gonna outstrike Shogun.
