The Monster vs. The Warrior

Tommorow, Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson, two of the most exciting mixed martial arts wrestlers will square off in the octagon to capture the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. For me, the matchup itself is something that a true fan could only hope for. Griffin’s got the heart of a champion and the conditioning of a racehorse. The kid’s won matches on will power alone, while Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is well…a monster. When I say Monster, I’m not talking about the big guy who’s all muscle and no brain. I mean, for a wrestler, this guy sure is pretty well-rounded. Jackson’s ground game is lacking but history’s shown that anytime this dudes on the ground, you’re getting your ass slammed. In my opinion, if Griffin’s gonna actually beat Rampage, he’s gonna need to rely on his speed, well really his legs to outkick this guy and if the fights taken to the ground he’s gonna need to end it quick if he ain’t tryina get powerbombed.

Either way, this fight has gotten me so krunk, I had to write about it a day early. One one hand you got Rampage, a man who fights like a juggernaut and looks like a lunatic. But Forrest is a cat that looks almost too comfortable bloodied, almost like he likes and is unphased by it. I got my money on Rampage, but Griffin has a very good chance of shutting this one down if he can stretch the fight out a little.

As Jackson said it, “There’s gonna be more fireworks on July 5th than on the fourth”. Be sure to watch UFC 86. Yeh.
