If he beats Rich Franklin, I see him and Rampage fighting again. Maybe a rematch with him and Bonnar after that. Since Jon Jones already destroyed Bonnar, they might let Phil Davis be the young gun that rattles Griffin's brain. If Tito isn't fired, UFC might trout them out for conclusion of that trilogy as well.
You fail to acknowledge the Griffin is a better fighter than Bonnar. Phil Davis would pose a challenge to Forrest but come on, he hasn't dealt with a guy as battle tested as Griffin. You seem to forget the relatively easy time he had with Tito the last time they fought, and Forrest isn't even a wrestler.

I know he may have taken a split, but judging in mma's shoddy. He did most of the damage and by the end of the fight tito was just a walking target.

Phil Davis hasn't fought a guy who could put the heat on him like Forrest Griffin.
