JoeDirt Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Meltzer: "Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar is FINALLY in the ring. Incredible first round. They traded bombs back and forth. Each stunned the other. Griffin was winning early, then Bonnar took over with solid shots. Griffin took Bonnar down in the last minute and went for an armbar. Maybe slightly to Griffin, but Griffin is not in as good a shape as Bonnar and I think that will tell later Second round was incredible. This is one of the great fights in UFC history. Bonnar won the second round. Both guys are dying from working so hard. Griffin has a bad cut on the bridge of the nose. This is Bonnar's round, and he's in better shape. I'm shocked Griffin lasted round two because he was dying. Both of these guys deserve to win. Okay, third round so was ridiculously close. I'm going with Griffin even though he looks worse. This can go either way. My feeling is that UFC needs to sign both men, regardless of who wins. They are saying if it's a draw, they go three more minutes, and it's possibly a draw."
Guest Ice Classic V.2 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 This is fucking nuts and look at Dana's grin. I hope it does go to the fourth. I must download this match the second it hits the internet. There's a replay tomorrow night at 10 est.
The Ill One Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 I'm saying fourth round or at least I'm really hoping. This is so insanely good that I really don't want to see either of them lose, you know? Edit: I'm going to bust out the VCR to record that the show tomorrow.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Posted April 10, 2005 I am exhausted. If it goes to a 4th round I might pass out.
Styles Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 It has to. It's way too close. This is why they have a bonus, they need to use it. I really don't know who to give the 3rd round to if I had to...
AboveAverage484 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Shit, if these guys fight with this intensity in the UFC, guys like Ortiz and Belfort could be overwhelmed. Ah, probably not, this fight just pumped me up.
AboveAverage484 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Fuck that shit, this should have gone an extra round.
Styles Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Wow. They should have gone to a 4th...but yeah if you put a gun to my head I would have said 29-28 Forrest too, but damn if Bonnar didn't earn that too. He did more damage too, but Forrest hit more I think strangely...
JoeDirt Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 I can't believe it's unanimous. Congrats to Forrest, what a fight.
Exslade ZX Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Man...wow. I don't know, with the way Forrest was almost dying out there, it looked like the winner might have been Bonnar (evidently the crowd thinks so too) but by the fact that he kept in there after being that drained also adds some extra points for him.
The Ill One Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Same but I have a feeling Borran's going to be back real soon after that one. Hey, it's the first time they've said "it's going to be a war" and it was.
AmericanDragon Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Bonnar might have to go return some video tapes.
RavishingRickRudo Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Posted April 10, 2005 I think Forrest won on aggression and the cut over Bonnars eye. If that cut didn't happen, then Bonnar would have gotten damage points.
The Ill One Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Fuckin' right. Only thing to do. Edit: Shit I'm 2-0 for predictions but I have no clue for the main event.
Styles Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Forrest looking at his prize watch: "I can pawn this for a lot" This guy is awesome. OH YEAH~! BONNAR GETS A CONTRACT TOO!!!! YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AboveAverage484 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 I don't see why any of those fuckheads should be booing. They just witnessed one of the best UFC fights in history. Oh yeah, Bonnar gets a contract too, ha, they should have a rematch. Then again not, they'd have too much to live up too.
{''({o..o})''} Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 I can say nothing but amazing night.
Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Just like they should. If this was Tough Enough, it'd be bullshit, but if Stephan didn't earn it there....
AboveAverage484 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Ha, three of the exact same posts in a row.
Styles Posted April 10, 2005 Report Posted April 10, 2005 Poor Shammy and Ace, theyre gonna go out there and look like they're moving in slow motion. This is why HHH regulates how the undercard guys work....
