What's next for Forest griffin?

^I'm not looking to make a series of threads like this.

Forest Griffin has been my favourite fighter ever since I saw his friends and family being interviewed either on a fight build up or TUF1, I don't remember. His buddies said that even when shooting hoops he was so competetive and physical that they knew he'd be a great fighter.

Even though he's my favourite, he's not great. Even though he's an exciting fighter, he wins most of his fights by decision, he puts on good fights, so I was content with that. Sure he beat Shogun, but he has losses to Rashad and Tito. He has a decision win over Rampage that he damn near severed Quinten's leg.

But he doesn't finish fights, and I think that with the style of fighter that he has chosen, he needs to step up and start stopping his oponents with TKOs and Rear Naked Chokes. Finishing fights will take Forest to a new gear, which would carry him, most likely, to another title opportunity.

So he's been rumored to be fighting Jon "Bones" Jones, AKA the lanky Anderson Silva-like dude who caves in your "bones" with his elbows. He finishes fights, or has judges take pity in the poor cripples that are given the bad news of fighting him... Jon Jones finishes fights, in a stand-up war, well, Jones likes the take-down after some exchanging, so maybe the first 2-3 minutes will be stand-up. Where I'd give Forest a 50/50 cange. But after that the numbers highly favour Jones and his elbows.

I'd like to see a trilogy fight between Forest and Tito if they both lose their next fights.

Rampage has shown interest in a rematch, but he's fighting Machida, another guy I think Forest would lose to. Rampage, I think, wouldn't let the fight last 3 rounds, as he'd be hungry, or over hungry for a knock out.

A fight between Forest and Liddell might have been cool, a few years ago, but Chuck was his TUF coach so each probebly turned down that fight in the past.

I would like to see Forest vs. Little Nog to be reschedualed, and I'd put money on seeing that fight within the next year.

...My ramblings aside, what do the TPWW MMA fans think?
