^^^ That should be where Griffin gets his groove back.

tyson griffin wins that shit. Kills him. No way lentz wins that.

I could see lentz wall n stalling griffin. Griffen's wrestling is actually pretty bad for the ufc lw division now that there are so many amazing wrestlers.


Does anyone think Rampage has a shot?? I mean this is stylistically a matchup he does well with.

Since when does Rampage do well against pure counter strikers who can attack from anywhere and are very elusive with great takedown defense? Rampage has become almost a pure counter striker himself now, but he is flat footed and his striking comes only in his hands. This is going to look like a repeat of Machida/Ortiz in My opinion.

And yet you said that "stylistically this is a match he does well with," so I'm confused.

I never said that, Havis did.

I dont. I think this is a terrible matchup for him.

Oh, sorry, wasn't paying attention.

Well I agree with everything you said, then.

FWIW, Rashad thinks Rampage is going to win.

MMAValor: Finally your prediction for the Lyoto vs Rampage fight?

R.E.: I think Lyoto has all the tools to definitely beat Rampage but for some reason, I don’t know, I got a feeling that Rampage is going to win this fight. I say that because there’s something in Rampage’s style that is one of his strengths and there is something into Lyoto’s style that is his biggest weakness that goes right into Rampage’s strength. Lyoto disengages, he always pulls back and Rampage is very quick to react, so Lyoto throws a punch Rampage catches, he reacts and Lyoto always pulls back and I think he may get caught. If Rampage comes to this fight in very good shape, I think he has a really good chance in this fight.

Then again, he also says in the same interview that he's going to knock Shogun out.

Rashad is still just pissed that Lyoto knocked him out.

I agree. I will probably bet Lyoto.

I've already taken Lyoto @ -250.
