The UFC has put together a "Highlight Reel" of 2008 events on their site for tonight's UFC fights.
Tonight's card is amazing:
MAIN CARD (TELEVISED)
Champ Forrest Griffin vs. Rashad Evans (for UFC light heavyweight title):
Great match up and a well deserved title shot for Rashad Evans. Forrest seems to always find a way to win but I think in this fight he is outmatched in most aspects. Rashad has better stand up and wrestling but I think Forrest's jitz is quite a bit better.
I am really torn on picking a winner for this. I think Forrest can bang with Rashad but Rashad showed amazing speed in the Liddell fight (although a very rare well timed punch).
If Rashad takes Forrest down it will be the death of him. Forrest is VERY good off his back and even though Rashad is better at wrestling I think Forrest will triangle or arbar him (much like he did rampage until rampage was going to powerbomb him).
I am picking Forrest Griffin by Triangle Choke in the 2nd round.
Champ Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Frank Mir (for interim UFC heavyweight title)
I like Frank Mir but I only see this fight going to Big Nog. Mir might have better standup but does not have the power to knock out Nogueria. I also give the wrestling and jitz nods to Big Nog.
I am picking Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira to win this fight in the 3rd round by TKO.
Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva
What a rematch! If you have not seen these to go at it before the fights are awesome. Rampage is down 2-0 to Wanderlei Silva but its been a tough go for Silva in the octagon and I look for Rampage to make the record 2-1
