Forrest was kicking Jardine's ass to the point of overconfidence for 90% of that fight.

I'm afraid that Forrest might be another Chuck-type opponent for Wand where he can't close the distance. But I'm still not convinced that Forrest can turndown a slugging exchange and that would be Wand's best shot. Call me a Pride hugger, but it'd be so painful to see Wand lose to a TUFer.

Forrest would beat Wandy, easily. He's a bigger and more technical fighter.
You know what i think the difference is... heart combined with the desire to train smarter than before. That is the difference these days. The camps, coaching, gameplans and WILLINGNESS to grow make the difference. Wanderlei has showed me he is willing to do anything to improve. same with Anderson. Same with GSP. That is why he has a chance.

He would most likely get dissected.
