First of all, Nakamura aint shit. I agree that Forrest isn't that good either and will most definitely lose this fight, but I will guarantee right now that he doesn't get owned.
So, people are saying that Shogun is...a fighter who's unorthodox striking you fear, yet he actually wins most of his fights on the ground against better strikers...???
Sounds a little bit like this Russian guy I know. Whats his name?? -Theodore. A-million-ankles. That guy. Whats his record again?
Very nice.

Forrest should not have won round one on two score cards.
Shogun will fight smart.GnP is the smartest choice against Griffin.
This man speaks the truth.

Other than knees from the clinch, Shogun's striking skills aren't all that special. I think he'll beat Griffin, but it will probably be by submission or TKO from punches on the ground. Shogun has already stated that Forrest isn't too strong on the ground. I think he'll take him down the first opportunity he gets and he'll try to finish him there.
Shogun has a huge advantage on top and a smaller advantage on the feet. I don't think he'll be stopped from taking Forrest down. The best fighters always take the fight to the place that gives them the best chance of the win.
