   Predictions on Griffin v Jackson anyone?? tough one to call in my book, but it can be broken down pretty much that it will either fall in line with a Bisping esque fashion with Forrest out working sticking and moving like he did with Rampage or with Rashad actually getting him down like Tito did and dropping enough damage to erk out a victory – I will wait to predict a winner until the week of the fight.

     i think either way rashad takes this fight rashads pace is just as if not faster than forest rashad hits harder but is not as technical and rashad has better wrestling but i do think forest has better bjj
