Mazza...jesus what signs was he looking for,.....a heart beat? Great battle between two MMA legends!

[@adatshhc]

Hate that ref

[@JerryLa83]

Griffin gets knocked out... takes 9 more punches... trying to tap out in between going in and out consciousness... and Steve looks back and still thinks he called the fight too early

[@coljj4356]

No shame in Forrest tapping to strikes when you have Mazzagatti as the ref.

[@johantowmhas5774]

My favorite LH era .. From Rampage, Forest & Rashad ..fun to watch & close fights

[@kevintucker3354]

He’s not overstating the fact that the first Forest Griffin vs Stephan Bonner fight instantly changed the UFC and mixed martial arts as a whole overnight!

“ the new light heavyweight champion, rashad evens!” Lyoto machida: “hold my gi”

[@Bobby.2000]

Yh Machida ended Rashad's reigh pretty quickly. Then we entered the Machida, which was barely longer, Rua came along. But Jones took it straight after that and then he beat everyone. A true era. The era of steroids, coke and dick pills.

[@stevenwhite9307]

I counted more then 10 after he was reaching for the sky clearly out cold it's disgusting these guys are allowed to ref

Rashad didn’t wrestle at first because he believed he could knock him out. Then he wrestled him down and knocked him out

[@WJstudios04]

he caught his leg THEN he wrestled

[@maxv3208]

Forest didn't have the highest fight IQ. He had a way of losing to guys he should beat. He was way bigger than Rashad and had equal skills or better, yet he found a way to get beat down by the smaller man.

[@removalman7963]

Forrest was winning the fight using the same strategy he used to win the title against rampage. Evans knew this and timed the kick perfectly to take forrest down and managed to pound him out. You armchair expert douche

[@maxv6837]

[@briancasteel1222]

I know that fighters try to be light on their feet so they don't get hit but it seems like just wasting energy to me. Rocky Balboa said it best " It's not about how hard you hit but how many shots you can take and keep moving forward."

[@AllFlashNoDash]

I get what you're saying about moving too much and wasting energy...but this ain't no movie...one hit could end it. You're not supposed to get hit. That's bad defense.

[@thetizzleforshizzle]

If you pay closer attention they're actually making constant tiny adjustments to the spacing between each other and placement of the feet. It's called footwork.
