Griffin/Bonnar 2

[Dustin]

Anyone have any idea as to when the hell its gonna happen? IMO since Ortiz/Shamrock is back on it should happen on the same night.

Either as soon as Bonnar stops sucking, or when Forrest is ready for a title shot and needs a pre championship boost

[Roundhouse]

I would imagine they would leave this until UFC 62. They probably figure this is at least co-main event material (very debatable) and will put it on the show after Ortiz/Shamrock. UFC 61 already has Arlovski/Sylvia III. Unfortunately it seems the UFC has a new trend of not giving us more than 2 fights we want to see on any card.

I actually think Bonner has a good shot at beating Forrest. I thought he won the first fight.

It wouldn't suprise me if Dana put it off for a long time. It's one of the fights he'll know a lot of fans, especially TUF fans, will pay for. I think he wants to build them up a lot more before it happens.

i have to agree w/ roundhouse
watching it live i thought forrest won (not by much )
but in rewatching i'd say bonnar ... & would love to see
this rematch as co main when GSP vs/ HUGHES as main event ....

Yeah it seems like they are comfortable in setting up cards this way. They don't have a big enough budget, enough great fighters, and they have events too frequent to have monster cards unfortunately but i think they could do better.

my only question is if Bonnar beats Forest what happens to Forests supposed title shot later this year I dont think Dana will give it to Bonnar

Seriously agree with you there. :-D

After Bonnars performance against Jardine and Forrests against Tito, I have some doubts
