he fought NOTHING Like he usually does and he HASNT been back since...
And then whgen he was submitted you could see in his face and eyes that he regretted even getting in the ring for the lose...
ive never called foul until that fight...
forrest was going down hill... he was losing (in his past fights n such) white neeeded something to bring him back so he looked like a tough fighter... when hes not tough, not compared to who is a real fighters in the octagon... 75% of his weight class could beat his ass...
ive said my piece...
if it were a total fluke that griffin beat Rua... fine... but i dont think it was a "fluke"...

Not very good reasoning to call a fix.
Every fighter has off nights, and perhaps it was Rua's turn. Clearly he was gassed early in the fight and wasn't getting inside on Griffin -> frustration sets in and he looks like he pretty much gave up by the last round.
Also see Anthony and Brad's posts, they have more inside knowledge than I (especially because I have none).
