My take on the fight is that Griffin is the obvious underdog however he has a decent chance of winning the championship title here. If he can manage to take Rampage down to the mat, he can dominate. However if he can't take Jackson down, 'Run Forrest, Run!' comes to mind - He's going to have stay out of the way of his opponents thunderous blows and his famous match ending power slams into the canvass.
I believe that Forrest Griffin is being underestimated with the odds set for him at +200. If Griffin can do what I outlined above, he's got a shot. It may be a longshot, but this is the UFC and anything can happen...
MY PICK: Griffin

I like your breakdown! I'm on the other end though. Rampage has been very rarely submitted on the ground. I don't think Forrest can do waht other's couldn't.
Let's go over the two fighters who have beaten Page in dramatic fashion, Shogun and Wanderlai, with Wanderlai in particular. Wandy is Forrest's training partner. Wandy knocked the fuck out Rampage in Pride, beat him silly. Fast forward now to Page having a better trainer, better training partners, and being overall a better fighter...
Then bring into the fact that Forrrest gets a concussion by Wanderlai when they spar... I dont' see Forrest winning. Sorry. In any aspect of the fight, standing or the ground.
