The latest in our BE’s Baddest was a victory for every fight fan who believes hard work and sheer willpower can carry the day. Old school TUF champion and people’s champion Forrest Griffin managed to withstand the punching power of Anthony Johnson and upset the #4 ranked Rumble, 45-23. Up next for Forrest is either Vladimir Matyushenko or a trilogy fight with Shogun.
Today, like last week’s Shamrock vs. Arona match, we go back to the roots of MMA. This time, it’s the ludicrously busy #3 Jeremy Horn (Current record: 91-22-5) vs. The Gracie Killer, #6 Kazushi Sakuraba. Both men debuted in 1996, the same year Sage Northcutt was born. Consider that.
