I forgot this was on CBS and watched the Spike telecast instead. Spike had the Anderson Silva/Forrest Griffin "fight". For the first time ever watching the UFC, I wondered if the fight was fixed. Just didn't seem right to me. At the KO, it sure seemed like Griffin was being dramatic. I agree with Joe Rogan that it has to be the most embarassing KO seen in the UFC; particularly by an elite fighter like Griffin.

I'm wondering if they asked Forrest to take a fall to hype Silva. Hopefully not. FG better beat Tito Ortiz or he better hone his acting skills. (He did pretty well on 'Law & Order' particularly the nude scene!)
