Yeah I recall Shogun gassing out within a round in that fight, congrats to both guys on winning the belt later on

Shogun rushed his knee injuries both times. Made easy work of Forrest in the rematch

Anderson Silva had already taken Forrest’s soul by the rematch

 

[MileHigher]

He stood on his head? Just joking, good memory you have. Forest Griffin was born too early, I think he would have benefited from fighting in the social media era.

summited

not bad though, actually, could be one of them sherdog memes like the don't be sacred gif or bolivian

Anderson Silva had already taken Forrest’s soul by the rematch

Not just soul, Forrest described his body as broken those last years. Couldn't even brush his teeth using his right hand.

And the number one unidsputed GOAT, Anderson "The Spider" Silva, put Forrest into the Matrix.

Easy fight. A complete humilitation.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Forrest was an animal back then

He was never quite the same after this era It seems like

Xtreme couture shit on a lot of careers with their ridiculous full on spars in the gym

If you get knocked out in training, there's something wrong

Dude that happened a few years later?

 

[TheJohnnyWalkerEra]

One of the few times I've looked like a complete idiot when introducing noobs to MMA

I was at a friend's house watching the event with casuals and noobs who didn't even know who Shogun was. I remember telling them how it was a squash match and to watch how easy Shogun demolishes him, not even a competition, etc

Didn't come out looking too good in that one lol

Dude that happened a few years later?

Yes, and Forrest was on Xanax.

Only won the rematch because Forrest had a legitimate injury.
