UFC 101: DECLARATION

uhh silvia clowned forrest

It was an alright fight card. Silva played Forrest dough, hilarious.

Yeah, Silva had his hands down man, that shit was ridiculous.

True the Gi make it easy to gain a submisison because their no sweat. People forget that slivia beat jermey horn a world class bbj fighter and travis lutter. What do you think about Roberto Traven he train some of the best fighters in the world.

Oh, and I hope you're joking about Marquardt standing no chance against Maia. He's by far the better wrestler, better striker, bigger, stronger and is no slouch on the ground. Nate got his BJJ black belt from my BJJ coach, Ricardo Murgel, and Murgel (8th degree BJJ black belt) is not only the highest ranking BJJ guy on the east coast, but he's also one of the highest ranking in the world (right below Rickson). Maia struggled with Jason MacDonald, and is very much a one trick pony. Yes his BJJ is elite, but can he take a punch? How will he deal with Nate's stand up? This isn't some "gimme" fight for Demian.

i don't think forrest was really trying to fight. i just feel like he was kinda throwin the fight on purpose.

if you watch the fight against silvia compared to the rest of his fights. you will see why i think he wasn't trying. its like there was no motivation to win.

People can say what they want, but that punch would not have knocked forrest out under normal circumstances.

What are you talking about? I mean what circumstances? Sure, he looked really nervous, probably the most nervous he has been, but a chin is a chin, and when you come in punching for the fences against someone like Silva, he will just pick you apart. After the fight, I read all the hater comments on other forums and I downloaded the video and watched it like 30 times just to see if he was faking it or not. I don't think so, Forrest was coming in hard, and just got his jaw and his neck snapped back by Silva, a guy who can create power from any angles.

I'm just saying I've seen Griffin take WAY harder shots than that, he must have been legitimately injured or something. I heard something about him having a broken jaw, idk. Haven't really looked into it all that much. I think I'm skeptical just because of how disappointing the fight was.
