why did griffin walk?

Dana said after that forrest said he walked because he was 'dissapointed' that he couldnt finish Tito. He stepped on the gas pedal and nothing happened. Forrest is a weird guy though. He walked after the jardine fight and possibly the second shogun fight.

Pretty sure he did that 'interview' thing as well because Tito interupted his 'victory' speech last time they fought kind of over shadowing the win by saying he was injured etc....

This 'Interim Title' bullshit annoys me. FFS, if you want the sport to have credibility you gotta stop that shit. It's a completely meaningless title, and sounds like the sort of crap you'd expect to see in the WWF or WWE or other similar circuses.

EDIT -

The way it should happen is that a set period of time should be pre-determined, in which a champion must make a mandatory defence of his title. I'd make this somewhere between 10-15 months. 10 months is preferable, but 15 allows time for injury rehab if the champ was gonna defend, say 8 months after last fight, but got injured preparing for it.

If the champ can't defend the title within this time, then he's stripped of the title and the next 2 best guys battle it out for the actual title, not some bullshit pretend title.

Since I guess this is also the unofficial UFC thread... :P

How fucking good did Te Huna look? Yeah I know he is a kiwi but we dont have many "home town" boys to cheer for :P Obviously they threw Beltran in there to see if Te Huna is the real deal against a guy who basically will not quit, even with the busted hand he looked good rounds 2 and 3 (though at the time I was perplexed by the takedowns, made sense after).

With Sotiropoulos back on the scene as a TUF coach and Mark Hunt back soon (fingers crossed), its an interesting time for Australiasian MMA.

Have to agree with you on this one... Sick of interim fights, all you're getting is a number 1 contender fight and the winner gets a fake belt..

Lets be honest here, Beltran was hand picked more or less to fiht Te Huna... Tough guy who can take plenty of hits but isnt really a monster on the feet. l'd like to see Te Huna against someone who really solid in either standup or grappling and see how he goes. Thiago Silva would be nice...

Agree 100%, by the same token, up and comers before have been shown to have weaknesses against guys who just wont break / get KOd. Beltran was obviously put there as potential stepping stone.

Agreed mate, he looked fucking sick. Broke his right hand, left foot first round or something to. Looked like a beast, will be happy to see him have a bit of a step up now, hope he does well.
 
Upcoming Event - UFC 149 Faber vs Barao - Sunday July 22
Urijah Faber vs Renan Barao
Cheick Kongo vs Shawn Jordan
Hector Lombard vs Tim Boetsch
Chris Clements vs Matt Riddle
Brian Ebersole vs James Head

My picks in bold.
 
Urijah Faber vs Renan Barao - Faber has become a real cocky son of a bitch... Barao trains with Aldo for chris-sakes. BARAO catches Faber on that granite chiselled chin of his and KO's in the 3rd.

Cheick Kongo vs Shawn Jordan - I'd like to think Jordan has a chance of an upset here, but Kongo has been down before (v Pat Barry) against strong wrestlers and come back to win. I'll back him again. KONGO in 2.

Hector Lombard vs Tim Boetsch - Lombard's being groomed as an 'Anderson-killer', and god knows they need some decent challengers for him, but I expect Lombard may not handle the step-up in competition here. I'm going to say Boetsch will edge this out by Decision to continue his stellar run.

Chris Clements vs Matt Riddle - Jesus, who cares? Riddle's the quality guy here though - he's beaten DaMarques Johnson, which is more than Clements can claim. Riddle for the win.

Brian Ebersole vs James Head - I can't go against Ebersole here. The guy is such a tryer, a gentleman, has been a journeyman with no payoff until he hit the UFC and now fills in at their whim and takes his paydays as they come, entertaining all the way. 1 more big win here, before they really start testing him. Ebersole by close decision.
 
Like your way of thinking Candy, how Clements v Riddle made a main card really shes how poor this fight card actually is...

Barao TKO 3rd
Kongo
Lombard
Riddle
Ebersole
