isnt that the most ridiculous match up ever? What te hell is White thinking?
-
from my understanding dana is mad at forrest for running out of the ring crying after he got beat by jardine.
-
I dont think he'd be able to run out that quickly after the fight whith Shougun
-
I mean - he matches up the N1 rated light heavy weight fighter against griffin, who's net even in the top 10, i wonder what' s next - Wandi vs Stephen Bonnar?!

Essentially, you're correct. Forrest is nearing the end of his contract. Dana would like to sign him to an extension but needs to justify why he shouldn't pay any real money to Forrest. So he lines Forrest up to get destroyed, Forrest goes down swinging, retains a bit of popularity, and White can re-sign him for peanuts. That's just how they roll.
It's also one of the problems with the UFC having a monopoly over the sport. Now that they've shut down Pride and own the WEC, it's "my way or the highway" for most of these guys.

Why do you guys think this? I am personally really looking forward to this fight. I believe it is going to be closer than you think. I may even go out on a limb and call a Forrest victory!!!!

dont forget he got chuck against jardine on the same card as the main event ::)

Chuck / Jardine is a good fight, Jardine is a very tough guy - i really wanted to see him against Rashad Evans first.
