He was really tough to hit and frustrated his man through the whole fight, much like Couture did against Sylvia. It was a beautiful thing to watch and really showed that Forrest is learning and improving.
As for Guida-Griffin, I believe wholeheartedly that the Irish judges robbed Guida of a win that he deserved 100%.

I have to agree with you on the Guida decision. I thought he did more than enough to pull that win. I really enjoyed seeing Forrest in his fight. He showed real concentration by sticking to his gameplan like he did and executed a very impressive and very effect strategy to basicly nullify his opponents striking. I think it was a very well fought match.
The Marcus Davis fight ended a lot like I thought it would. That guy has some impressive stand up skills along with very heavy hands. He's also shown that he's adept at the ground aspect of mma as well. I really look forward to seeing what he can do against a top tier opponent.
