My Picks:
LW -BJ Penn
WW - GSP
MW - Anderson Silva
LHW - Forrest Griffin
HW - Fedor

This is with the expectation that Fedor beats Sylvia with ease and Dana has no choice but to sign him to whatever contract Fedor wants and gives him an automatic title shot or maybe 1 warm up fight then a title shot.

GSP and Rampage are my favorite fighters but Forrest is a beast. Rua whopped Rampages ass and Forrest murdered Rua. I don't beleive in the "A beats B" and "B beats C" so "A beats C" but Rampage got manhandled and Forrest manhandled Rua so I think my boy Rampage has his work cut out for him.

I'm surprised so many people are picking Forrest over Rampage.

I don't think Rampage is unbeatable. I think on any given day the top 5 LHW's could beat each other. There is no clear cut division leader.

Same here... but the more I watch this seasons TUF, I remember why. He's just a good guy. Funny, real/genuine, professional, hard worker, great personality, and knows how to fight.. he's a guys guy. People like that.. Hell, I even thought twice about typing Jackson, for that reason...lol He's the kid you wanna see make it.
Does he have a chance.. SURE!! .but I think Rampage will edge him out. I think his power tips the scale.

I have been a fan of Forrest from day 1. I just don't kid myself into thinking he's a world champion. He is a tough guy that has an unparalleled work ethic. What he doesn't have is that touch of super athleticism that guys like Rampage do. And as far as Rampage is concerned, I think he has great character for a champion. He is always easy going and humble.

So far I have 4 out of 5. I just need Fedor to get signed by the UFC and get an immediate title shot.
