Forrest Griffin new UFC light heavyweight champion

I have been a fan of Forrest Griffin ever since he won the first Ultimate Fighter series.  You got to love a guy who likes to kick some ass and get his own ass whooped. So of course I was glued to the TV when UFC86 came on TV. The main event of UFC86 was the fight between Forrest Griffin and Quinton Jackson. There was no doubt in my mind that Forrest could win that fight. He has shown that no matter how hurt he is, he won’t give up.

I was delighted that the fight went for the full five rounds. It was a sit-on-the-edge-of-my-seat fight with Griffin jacking up the leg of Jackson with some great leg kicks. But ‘Rampage’ has heavy hands and Griffin copped some good punches too. All in all, an awesome fight to watch. Well done Forrest!!!
