I didn't watch. First ppv I have missed in quite some time. I had something important I had to do. Try youtube, it may be up by now.

It was pretty good, they're evenly matched, it was just as good as the first fight, although there's no way that the judges should have given griffin a landslide win.

No, but that might be because I'm not a big fan of his, I think he's overrated. Griffin's got a jaw made out of steel, he takes abuse like no one else in MMA and still stands there and smiles, lol

No one has even given Evans a challenge thus far. He destroyed Bonnar, picked him up and slammed him at will. I think he would do the same to Forest.

just found the fight.


i think forrest DID win this fight easily this time. although the 2nd round was pretty close. he was better.

very similar fight to last except not as entertaining and forrest was the clear winner

Bonner needs to take some time off and train.  He needs to try another training camp IMO, he's not getting any better, he appears to be getting worse.  I didn't hear Rogan mention that Stephan was a golden gloves guy, must be because his striking is even sub-par!

Both of em were content with standing there and throwing, just like the last one...seems like neither really tried to finish, like they were trying to score more points and win a decision...it was a decent fight but nothing spectacular

I agree Bonnar needs to get motivated or find a new or both.  Downward spiral.

I think Forrest can take a beating.  Yippee.  That is not the objective.  He is second class fighter and a waste of money.

they take pride in this match up but i think they being so closely matched isnt a good thing but then thats' what people like to see, 2 guys full swinging at eachother until one of them connects and the other goes down... that's not mma though, that's a parking lot fight with drunks.
