Still possible that it might not happen due to his cut, but he acts like he'd be willing to.

How can you not love this guy. He is fearless and hilarious at the same time. I can't wait for his next fight. I hope he fights Wanderlei at some point, but he shouldn't rush into it.

Yeah Griffin will fight anybody. I like that about him. If he beat Wandy ... wow, I would have to consider him one of the best light heavyweights in the world.
He trains hard, hits hard, and he's big for a 205'er. This fight would be a stand up war, I think. On the other hand I could see Griffin taking Wandy down and trying to work some jiu jitsu.

this would turn out just like Wandy/Rampage 1 and 2...
Forrest is still young. Hes getting better and better. Maybe one day he'll be the top guy.

It's going to be tough with a healthy shogun, a healthy rampage, a healthy and mentally ready wand. Forrest needs one more good test and i'll be sold, I do beleive he's one of the best (if not the) of the TUF guys, and I do feel quite a few of them are quality fighters.

I cant get enough of this guy. He has to be the stupidest?/most genius! guy in MMA. Call out 2 of the worlds greatest 205 pounders right after beating one of them. I mean cmon. He trains hard and has NO FEAR! period. i used to think that he was all flash no dash , but now hes backing it up

if griffin wins he needs to get a shot at the belt, imo his next fight should be for the belt because if shogun would have won that fight you all know that his next fight is Shogun vs Rampage, but oh well i will like to see griffin fight wandy and i think he matches up good with him, forrest is a lot bigger and i think wandy is going have a tough fight on his hands

I echo the thoughts of the dude above me. Forrest has paid his dues and just beat the #1 Light heavyweight (in most of the polls). I think he should be fighting Rampage, not Silva.
But yeah, of course Forrest is willing to fight Wanderlei. Hell, Forrest would fight Shogun and Silva at the Same time if the UFC would let him

i think griffin is one of the funniest guys in mma
i really hope he does well against silva, i think the winner of that fight should definately get a shot at rampage
that way theres a 50/50 chance there will be rampage vs silva 3

Wanderlei has some of the best cardio in the game... he also has very heavy hands, brutal knee's, and an insane ground game...
The octagon would actually favor a fighting style such as Wandy's... Griffin better watch out..
If Griffin can beat Wandy in convincing fashion then im sold, but until Griffin beats another top fighter im staying skeptical.
