I've seen alot of posts claiming that Tito is bigger and stronger than Forrest, and that Tito is going to throw Forrest around. I haven't seen either fighter in person, but judging from pics and television, Forrest looks pretty damn big to me...I don't see that much of a size difference between the two. I've also read posts saying that Forrest is "farm-boy" strong. Has anybody on here trained with Forrest or Tito? If so, who do you think has the strength advantage...if anyone does?
Laura
Tito is probably stronger.
Why do you think Tito is much stronger?
Laura
Tito looks "weight room" stronger, but who knows when it comes to functional strength.
Looks can be deceiving.
However, we will all find out!
Forrest looks really thick through his back and his calves are huge. I think he's a bit taller than Tito too. I think Tito looks bulkier than Forrest...but that doesn't necessarily mean he's stronger. I think Forrest used to fight at heavy-weight too.
Laura
Tito has a much larger pinky ring.
LOL @ PrinceAlbert.
Diddn't Forrest used to be like 250? Size won't be a factor in this fight.

I don't know about 250lbs...but I read somewhere that he walks around at about 232lbs...he's not a little guy.

Forrest will get pounded out
Not so sure about Forrest getting pounded he is a tough dude, I'm
looking forward to this fight. I'm fairly sure it will play out on the
ground and Tito will get the first few takedowns but Forrest is a
scrapper and may take Titos back and choke him out.

We shall see. I think it's going to be a good fight...Tito is tough...but so is Griffin. I just don't see Forrest being a walk-over for anybody. I feel like he might pull off the upset. Nothing against Tito, but I hope Forrest wins.
Laura
I thought he looked pretty big in those pics too.
Forrest is no doubt a big boy but Tito should pretty clearly be the favorite in this fight. Forrest doesn't have top notch takedown defense and will spend quite a bit of time on his back.
Doggystile...am I gonna have to spray you with the hose? LOLOL!
How come other chicks don't post on here? Have you guys run them all off? LOL.
Laura
Forrest has been training with Randy though...so his takedown defense might be much improved these days. I'm sure he's doing everything he can to get ready for his fight with Tito. I don't think Tito has a size or strength advantage, but alot of people seem to think so. I think it's going to be a good fight...I can't wait to see it.
Laura
Tito does seem to have better wrestler-ish strength. Guys with that, like Randy, can handle bigger guys. Forrest is lanky big, broad shoulders, but slim, and doesnt seem to have Tito's explosiveness.
Doggystile...your username says alot about you...lol...but who am I to judge, it's one of my favorite positions too. (grin)
As for your other question...I've been following the UFC since 1993 when it started. My ex-husband got me into watching it. I only recently started reading and posting on MMA forums though. I find the posts sometimes very informative, and almost always entertaining...thanks to guys like you. LOL! Save your pic...I'll just use my imagination. :)
Laura
Oy Vey.
Doggystile, I bet you wouldn't say that to Forrest's face. LOL.
