I think Forrest is a good pick, and obviously the favourite because he has a title shot. But to be honest, I didn't pick him because I dont really think he has beaten top competition in the UFC. Obviously im not talkin about Shogun, but besides that, hes beaten Bonnar twice, Ramirez, Elvis (who we all know is a feeder fish) and Bill Mahood. Not exactly great opponents IMO. The decent opponents he has faced, of course besides Shogun, were Tito and Jardine and he lost both. I know the Shogun fight almost justifies everything, but Im not completely sold on Forrest.
I went with Diego, only because he has beaten good competition, with the likes of Riggs, Florian, Nick Diaz, and Karo. He's also 8-2 in the UFC, and he completely dominated the show like no other.
