Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will make his Octagon debut against Forrest Griffin — not Ryoto Machida — at UFC 76 on September 22. This could be some devastating new for Forrest Griffin. I like Forrest Griffin and I know he is a talented fighter and is capable of beating alot of good fighters, however i don't think this is a good match up for him (Forrest Griffin) right now, and here's why...
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is a very good fighter and has a good MMA record. He has beaten some of the best fighters including the current UFC light heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson by knockout in the fight round. He has also beaten Antonio Rogerio Nogueira who is one of the best BJJ artists in the world. He has a MMA record of 16-2 with 13 knockouts and 1 submission. He is an excellent stand up fighter one of the best in MMA today.
Now lets move the spot light over to Forrest Griffin for a second. Forrest Griffin is a a good stand up fighter and im not trying to take anything away from him, but i don't think he is ready to fight someone this good yet. Forrest Griffin has an overall MMA of 13-4 and 5-2 in the UFC. Three of his five wins were by decision and his last fight against Hector Ramirez "Sick Dog" went the decision and Ramirez isn't a very good fighter only having two fights in the UFC and losing both. Mauricio Rua has two much experience and KO power for Forrest Griffin to win. Honestly i hope i am proven wrong because i like Forrest Griffin and want to see him knock Mauricio Rua OUT!!!
