Anderson Silva (not Thiago) vs Forrest Griffin booked for UFC 101

I wonder if Rampage normally checks leg kicks. I'm guessing some people don't check them because IT HURTS. Sometimes, it hurts less to just let the guy kick you in the thigh or whatever. Problem is, when he catches the right spot he can do real damage. Shin bone on Shin bone is pretty painful though.

Whoops.

I don't think Silva and GSP is at a catch weight anyway. I see no reason why GSP shouldn't sack up and go after the middleweight crown.

STUPID.
I don't see how this makes any sense, I want AS to defend his MW title against Maia.
What does he have to gain from fighting Forrest?

Yep...the UFC are trying to repair Anderson Silvas reputation.

I hope Forrest Griffin distroys him. Thats would throw a spanner in the works...then he'd be not so good, as well as not trying to hard.

Maia should be fighting for the Title next after that, would be nice to see him win that...then Anderson Silva will look bad...two poor performances, a loss to forrest griffin at a different weight, and the loss of the title
