Forrest Griffin vs. Rampage Jackson at UFC 86
Last night on UFC Fight Night Live it was annoucned on July 5th 2008, that Forrest Griffin would challange Quintin “Rampage” Jackson for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title as part of the Ultimate Fighter season conclusion. This might go down as one of the fights ever. Everytime Forrest Griffin gets in the octogan, you can always expect a great fight. I remember the two fights he had with Stephan Bonner and the one with Tito Ortiz. He’s the future of the UFC. Rampage Jackson may have met his match in Griffin. Griffin is crazy and enjoys the punishment. He also enjoys a good fight which is a good attitude to have. I say Griffin over Jackson and it will go five rounds.
Some other big fights coming up are taking place on April 19th and fights include
Matt Serra Vs. Georges St-Pierre and Travis Lutter Vs. Rich Franklin. Personally I am sick of Matt Serra. He annoyed the hell out of me when he was a trainer on the Ultimate Fighter. I hope St-Pierre knocks him out and shuts him up.
On May 24 you will see BJ Penn Vs. Sean Sherk and Wanderlei Silva Vs. Keith Jardine. Both fights will be awesome. I am looking foward to this. Silva is a monster but so is Jardine. Should be a great fight.
Then on June 7th the match between Chuck Liddell Vs. Rashad Evans will happen. Theres some bad blood between these two and I am sure they will settle it in the Octogan.
The spring and summer for UFC looks awesome. I am looking foward to watching some of these fights. I cannot wait until August though because Brock Lesnar will take on UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman. I am hoping Lesnar will win one for us who doubted him the first time.
Well thats all folk. Until next time. God Bless and have a great weekend.
