Anderson Silva vs Forrest Griffin Tips

Anderson Silva is the clear favorite here, but just looking at the difference in size between him and opponent Forrest Griffin makes me think an upset could be on the cards at UFC 101.

The Case For Griffin

Griffin has a substantial size advantage over Silva and is the stronger of the two men. But he’s proven that he’s more than just a sluggish wrestler. He’s quick on his feet and with a proper game plan could avoid the power of Silva’s punches and kicks.

The Case For Silva

Griffin’s problem is often that he doesn’t have a proper game plan and Silva is by far the better Brazilian Ju-Jitsu combatant, so even if Griffin avoids the knees and kicks, it’s by no means sure that Silva wouldn’t be able to win on the ground. After all, he’s done it before.

Silva v Griffin Picks

Forced into a decision, I’m going to take Griffin to win – I just think he’s too big and too powerful for Silva, no matter how skilled a fighter Silva is.
