They all lost but not in the UFC so not that many casual know it. Another loss definantly hurts Forrest, we was considered a great fight to casual fans and if he gets KOed again it don't look good for him.

The fight wasn't over that fast, I mean it got to the second round, Franklin had he chances.

Jardine has more than just power and kicks. I remember watching him in KOTC before TUF2 and he has a ground ground game and his striking is alot crisper than a bunch of UFC lhws.

He is popular so he will be around but no way will he be a championsip material. Machida dominates Forrest and Forrest will cry like a bitch again

you idiot forrest has heart and fighting means the world to him, and for jardine and every other fight he's trains like you wouldn't believe. he has heart and passion and it showed in that fight. i respect him for that

You may respect him but that doesn't mean he's going to beat Machida because of it.

hell no. machida is going to win by decision i think, if he tries to finish, he will. if forrest takes him down, machida will stifle him with superior jits and mb submit him. in the stand-up, machida hits more accurately and faster. also a great counterpuncher. yeah i respect forrest's heart, work ethic, and wellroundedness, but one has to think logically when looking at matchups

UFC will not simply giving up griffin...he still a ultra popular especially to the casual mma fans.

I'm hoping for Forrest here put I think Machida will most likely win. If Forrest can lure Machida into a brawl then I could see him winning, but as long as Machida fights smart, he should take it.
