Trollsmasher Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Source: Forrest Griffin refused to fight Vitor Belfort at UFC 155 Forrest Griffin knows is not good for his health to fight Belfort. TheUFC offered him a bout against Belfort at UFC 155, and Griffin said hell no! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellequin Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Forrest should retire I think. He has had a very respectable career and doesn't need to keep doing this if he is not into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOvereem Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Forrest should and will imo retire after the Davis fight, yes I foresee him losing to Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 The guy quit 3 times. I don't think anyone takes him seriously enough to mock him as legitimate fighter anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 1. Anderson Silva(submissive gesture)2. Shogun(verbally tapped to strikes) 3. Rashad(actually tapped to strikes) ? There you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigoRua Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Honestly, Forrest and Bonnar should fight as a co-main event on Superbowl weekend as a retiring fight and I bet it would have great ratings. Forrest got broken after Evans fight IMHO and made it worst after Andersons fight. Phil Davis will hold him on the ground for 3 rounds and get a UD.

Tapped2strikes Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 1. Forrest gave up for sure.2. How does one tap to strikes when your KO'd. Was out cold against Rashad and he already said he wasn't tapping. 3. Hearsay 2. He wasn't KO'd. If he was, he wouldn't have been able to tap(which he clearly did) 3. Shogun doesn't have a reputation as a pathological liar, so i'll take his word for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Again he already said he didn't tap. Flailing might have had something to do with Tashad repeatedly smashing him in the face. Also you're probably right' date=' Shogun is very knowledgeable when it comes to tapping to strikes.

Ultimately, it makes no difference what he said, because anyone with eyes can see what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Don't u think if it was as incriminating as you say it is we would admit. Thought so. Forrest said he didn't and the athletic commission or whoever decides these things says he didn't so that's good enough for me. Was ruled a TKO not submission to strikes. No, i don't think people would necessarily admit to certain things, even if they quite blatantly did them, and from following various court cases, that has proven to be reality. Quitting is very shameful, so i don't expect anyone to admit to it, even if they did. Also, Shogun/Jones, GSP/Serra, Kongo/Yvel, Forrest/Anderson to give examples, all resulted in the losing fighter giving clear submissive signals, yet they weren't recorded as such. That doesn't mean they didn't quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangasm Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 If I were nearing the end of my career with a family to thing about I'd also avoid the guy who lands huge shots to the back of his opponents' heads in 90% of his wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
