		<description>MightyMark, Shogun is getting the title shot because he has won 2 straight fights AND he is a legitimate top contender. Which really is the main reason, not the fact that he beat an old Mark Coleman, Not the fact that he knocked out Chuck. But the fact he is a legitimate contender. I honestly believe, being a huge fan of Shoguns for many years now, that if and WHEN shogun is in shape, he is one of the most talented, well rounded fighters in the whole of MMA. Thats why, at this moment, i think its only logical to place shogun with machida. He poses legitimate threats, he doesnt come into fights with JUST great striking or JUST great wrestling or JUST dangerous BJJ. My point is Shogun has the toolset most fighters do not have, which is natural ability to fight GREAT in many aspects of mma. 

Now onto the topic, Griffin. I think Forrest Griffin Vs Anderson Silva is going to be one of the most exciting fights this year... Providing Griffin doesnt get knocked out to quickly. I just hope he comes into the fight with a very, very good gameplan. Silva loves pressure, he thrives on it, think back to Dan Henderson fight, or Chris Leben or Even Franklin. All those fighters pressured Silva, walked forward, had him on the back foot. Look at the outcome. Yes, Dana must love Forrest for what he has done for UFC. But to me, it looks like forrest is just a tool to bring out the best in Silva, which is knocking people out. I dont care what anybody says about Silvas last two fights - the fighters (apart from maybe Cote on occasions, but the he hurt his knee) didnt pressure him enough. Silva is a counter striker, and hes shown that in the past, if Forrest sits back, you will be hearing an awfull lot of boos. However, as the article says, Forrest is NOT going to sit back. FACT. Which will play right where Silva wants it, Silva will want Forrest to attack. I respect Griffin, and think hes a great fighter... However i just think that if hes not careful in implementing a good gameplan, Silva will knock him out.</description>

		<description>Angry Mike -

Don&#039;t base your opinion of American Idol on Clay Aiken.  That show has turned many people into stars in the music industry.  

I am glad that TUF doesn&#039;t show the craziness in the house anymore.  I hated seeing grown men act like children.  I felt it just made men look bad.  Women watching the show certainly don&#039;t want to see a bunch of guys tearing up a house.  Idiots.</description>

		<description>What I dont get is why is Shogun getting the title shot ahead of Griffin and Rampage and Evans.  I would have thought that he would have had to at least fight one of these guys to deserve a shot....</description>

		<description>So why is Anderson Silva fighting Forrest Griffin,a top light heavyweight contender?Because if Silva wins what would be next for him since he&#039;s already publicly stated that the UFC light heavyweight division belongs to Machida,his friend who he said he would never fight.It&#039;s a puzzling fight to say the least.</description>

		<description>I still enjoy TUF.  The hijinks in the house are a little juvenile sometimes, but the fighters are usually bored out of their minds and need something to occupy their time.  Besides, what&#039;s the alternative?  Some boring network crap like Dances with the Stars, or American Idol?  No thanks.

Although, now that I think of it, wouldn&#039;t it be cool if either of the shows had a MMA fighter run onto the sets at random intervals to try and takedown a contestant?  I&#039;d have been a devoted fan of American Idol if I thought there was a chance that Clay Aiken would get slammed.  If the performer could fight off the fighter for 5 seconds, he could get a bye intot the next round or extra points on the score.</description>

		<description>People are never satisfied.  Last season people complained because of the way the fighters acted on the show.  This year either the fighters are better behaved or the producers got orders not to show anyone acting like a fool.  It seems that they are making more of an effort to emphasize the fights and the fighters.  This does make for &quot;boring&quot; reality TV, but isn&#039;t that was the MMA community wanted?  Focus on the sport and not the antics of a few i.e. Junie Brown.  If you are going to complain about fighters getting drunk and peeing in food, then don&#039;t complain &quot;boring&quot; TV when it doesn&#039;t happen.  If you watch any reality TV it is all about shock value.  I actually appreciate this season, even if it is a little &quot;boring&quot;.</description>

		<description>Forrest is awesome,I have always been a fan of his.I am really hoping that he can pull off the upset in his next fight. I think that he should have a rematch against Jardine if they both lose therenext fights.If he wins then a rematch  Shogun for a title shot after Rampage - Machida fight.</description>
