Sajeitto Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm a fan of both, but a bigger fan of Forrest and I will say it now, Jonny Bones Jones will put Forrest Griffin out no later than round 2 by TKO from ground and pound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor_Obviously Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hahaha, whoever thought Forrest would win a decision--I'll account bet you on that. And I don't even like to bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderProdigy Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 i think Jones takes a wrestle rape decision, maybe TKO. Forrest's best chance would to be work off his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasCityKing Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hard to call. Forrest has shown us so many times that he can win any fight but lose any fight as well. If he can avoid the trip Forrest is probably the best striker Bones has fought (don't want to get into an arguement about Vera the dude has no power in his strikes) so I'd like to see how he handles that. Pretty sure Forrest is also the biggest guy he's fought so I wonder if he will be able to bull him around like he did with everyone else I think Forrest is a better fighter than a lot of people give him credit for it usually just depends on his game plan. Charging at Anderson Silva swinging his arms around was retarded. Throwing leg kicks at Rampage all night was genius. Bones has the most ridiculous reach I've ever seen in mma. He is the Tommy Hearns of mma. Throw in excellent Greco Roman wrestling and GnP and he is very dangerous. He also has a very unorthodox striking style I don't know how Forrest is gonna train for that. Questions need to be answered about both fighters.

Sajeitto Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Forrest does have a chance at a submission off his back, Jones does tend to make himself vulnerable for a triangle choke, armbar, or triangle choke-armbar by leaving his arm and or head in bad positions while doing ground and pound from full guard.

CarlLane Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Jones by reach in the stand-up, strength in the wrestling, youth, agility, i could keep going...the only way Forrest wins is when Jones takes him down and IF he leaves his arm out like he did with both Vera and Matyushenko. With that said there is NO way i believe Jones would make that mistake against a well rounded sub guy like Forrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know who I think will or want to win. But I will say this. Finally, Decent competition for Jones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirstForBLOOD Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Jones will introduce his elbow to Forrest's face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo89 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Forrest Griffin is the better striker and submission guy in my opinion... I could see him getting caught by Jones however and I think Jones' gameplan would include some sick takedowns that would leave forrest vulnerable to GNP.. We saw Forrest get destroyed by Rashad on the ground so I dunno... I am on the fence.. like someone else said.. lots of questions will be answered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmicjewzombie Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Forrest by decision. I believe Forrest will stay on the outside leg kicking, and jabbing jones to earn himself a Split decision victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLane Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 the other part of this is the fact Forrest is coming off of injury and Jones has been known to injure guys lately, Hamill (shoulder), Vera (face), Vlad would have if Herb Dean had let it go any further...it'd be a tough match-up for Forrest i like the guy but this could end badly for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would play out just like the Jones/Matyushenko fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
