Title: New Future UFC Light Heavyweight bouts?
Post by: bigbalddaddy on April 19, 2006, 12:05:27 PM
What do the fellas think about the future of Light Heavys? I can see the following up comming bouts...

Bonnar/Griffin - Forrest wins

Tito/Shamrock - Tito wins

Liddel/Tito - Chuck wins

Shamrock/Forrest - Forrest wins

Forrest/Liddel - Chuck slips and gets tapped out!

I was hearing Bonner vs. Babalu at UFC 60.  Bonnar's time to be exposed has come, IF if this is true.

Not interested in ANY of those fights.  Babalu vs. whoever... That is the only fight I want to see in the UFC light heavyweight division.

Forrest went on record early on in his career saying he wanted a piece of Babalu, this was before he went in to the TUF show.  I would think that in his mind he's alot better than that now but I think it would be a brawl. ;D

I'd put money on Babalu submitting Griffin.  Sobral is about as good a wrestler as tito, but a way better submission guy.

Babalu has improved, it would be a better fight now.

No, not even close.

Wanna bet?  Babalu's credentials in freestyle wrestling are by far superior to Tito's.  Babalu has just evolved into a submission fighter, instead of a gnp'er.

as much as he may have improved, IMO Chuck has just gone right off the scale. I dont see anyone beating hmi in the forseeable future, he is a complete fighter. Like Joe Rogan said he has enough power to knock out a horse! And thats not in his favoured hand, thats in both his feet and hands
