I wish I could get excited for this event but just can't do it even though I'm a big Griffin fan.

Florian vs Penn
I think Florian will give Penn a good fight but Penn will take it. The only way I see Florian winning is if it goes into later rounds an Penn gases I just don't care about either of the fighters, Florian is to cocky while Penn is simply a bitch in general. After all of Penn's accusation about GSP greasing, now he's made even a bigger fool of himself by claiming GSP is on steroids. At this point Penn could defend his title for another 5 years but his legacy will always be a spoiled rich kid who couldn't handle defeat.


Silva vs Griffin
I think Griffin will push the fight enough to make it more interesting than Silva's last 2 snooze fest. Sadly being able to push the fight doesn't amount to winning the fight. I was on vaction recently an spent a lot of time hanging out by the pool, during which I read Griffin's new book. It was kind of interesting because the book came out before this fight was announced. In the book he talks about how he's a decent fighter because he trains hard an has a never quit attitude but will never be a great like Anderson Silva. Several times during the book he talks about the great fighters in the sport, mentioning Silva more often than any other fighter. Forrest was very humble in the book an basically admitted him winning the LHW title was a fluke. Sadly, even if Forrest was to win this fight he wouldn't get the credit he deserves because everyone will atomatically attribute the win to Silva moving up a weight class

Overall I'm probably more interesting in some of the undercard and prelim fights
Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks - Big fan of Sadollah. If he doesn't make it as a fighter he will probably end up as commentator
Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida - I always enjoy watching these former TUF fighters.
I hope to see atleast one of the prelims because both of these should be good.
George Sotiropoulos vs. George Roop
Thales Leites vs. Alessio Sakara- I can't believe they bumped Leites back down to prelim after a single lose to Silva.


As proof of how unconcerned I am with the UFC 101 Title fight, I would rather watch Torres & Bowles fight for the WEC Bantamweight Championship. I'm amazed Torres doesn't get more press, He is the only person in MMA right now to beat Fedor's record of 30-1 ( Torres is 31-1 )
