Im taking Rampage in this one.

So you other three have no reasons why you picked who you did?

Griffin is a beast and knows this is his shot. He can take a punch or three which will be key going against Jackson and his body slams.

I'm calling Griffin even though I feel Jackson is the more talented fighter.

Quenton Jackson is the beast in this matchup:

Looking at common opponents, Jackson was beaten by Mauricio Rua, who beat Jackson and was submitted by Griffin.

However, of Jackson' six losses, two are to Wanderlai Silva, who Griffin couldnt beat either, and one was by DQ. Looking at Griffins losses they pretty much even out, so to me it comes down to experience, and I think that is clearly going to be on Jackson's side.

I don't have to have a reason

One more for Jackson. I feel that Forrest has been is terribly overrated since winning TUF. Besides his win over Shogun he has looked very mediocre everytime he's fought. I feel this fight will be similiar to Rd. 1 of Griffin vs Tito. Tito was absolutley manhandling Forrest until he blew his knee. Rampage is stronger than Tito and tougher as well. Rampage should take Forrest down and beat him to a pulp. Rampage by stoppage in rd.2.

i got love for forest. He has great heart and after watching the latest UF show i think rampage is a moron.

Rampage is a funny s.o.b.

Wow....I really thought this would be a landslide for Jackson.

GGerm, keep in mind Griffin did defeat Mauricio Rua, for what its worth

No matter who wins it'll definitely be a good fight. Neither fighter will back down so should be plenty of action. Going with Griffin though, because like Ram said Griffin likes to get hit and I think heart and determination may win this for him.

Well, lets look.

Including the TUF fight he has a UFC record of 6-2. Two wins are over Stephan Bonner, a guy I dont care much for. Bonner holds a 5-3 UFC record, with two losses to Griffin.

Of Bonners 5 wins, one was over a guy with a 1-2 UFC record and another with a 1-1 UFC record, both of which are young inexperienced fighters. He does hold a quality win over Keith Jardine, but Jardine also knocked Griffin's ass out.

Griffins quality win is over Mauricio Rua, who holds an MMA record of 16-3, but owns a 0-1 UFC record now.

Then there is Jackson, who holds quality wins over guys like Chuck Liddell twice, and Dan Henderson, who themselves are both 20 fight winners. I just think Jackson is too much for Griffin.

common sense all points to Rampage. But I love the heart of Forest. We have not had a shocker in the UFC for a while now. Let's see a shocker. For no logical reason, I'm going forest in this one.

I think Forrest fought Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at the perfect time.

Maybe you guys have seen this clip....maybe you haven't. Its a great display of strength by Rampage. Against Ricardo Arona, a guy who's beaten alot of names, like Wanderlei and gave the great heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko all he could handle.

Good find, and Wanderlai Silva has beaten Jackson twice

I just love Griffin. The fight between him and Frankie Edgar is, hands down, my favorite UFC fight to watch, ever. This is more a vote for I want him to win. Not that I don't think he can, I'm just undecided, and tie goes to Forrest.

You're talking about Tyson Griffin vs Frankie Edgar, which was an awesome fight. But I don't think we'll see him in the ring with Rampage anytime soon, considering he weighs like a buck-fifty.

I love Forrest. I think he represents everything MMA stands for and should be perceived by the world. But, Rampage is a beast. While Forrest has good striking skills, it's going to take more then 1 big shot to put Rampage down. However, all Rampage will need is one big shot to put Forrest down. If Forrest wants to win this fight, he's going to have to get Rampage on the ground and win a decision or tap him out.

I have to go Rampage here. His standup is to good and his ground game is good enough.

I cant see Jackson tapping out.

Catch him with an armbar, he's not going to have any choice but to tap.
