http://www.fiveknuckles.com/mma-news/Forrest-Griffin-interested-in-returning-at-UFC-108.html
The best way for Griffin to put this behind him is to get back into the Octagon. During the interview, he expressed interest in UFC 108 and said that card looked "appealing" to him. No opponent has been named nor has Griffin been slated for the Jan. 2 event but it appears we could see him fight sometime early 2010.
Forrest/Jardine 2
IMO

This card will be sick if this is true.

I'd rather see them both win in their next fights.

Cantwell/Forrest anyone? It might be early for Cantwell, but both are coming off two losses, and they are both known for their durability and hearts.

Considering Griffin has a contract as long as he wants it I don't see where this comment makes since.
Maybe for Jardine. But Griffin and Bonnar have both been publicly told they are'nt ever going any where.

And Forrest has insane drawing power, he is one of the most popular fighters in MMA today. Jardine not so much, even though he has beaten Liddell and Forrest.

I dont think a loss for Jardine would mean the end of his UFC career
I think that Forest Vs Franklyn would be an amazing tear up

Might not be an issue at all, but it occurred to me that the UFC might not want to put Forrest on the same card as Anderson Silva for his first fight back.
Would make it kind of hard to hype up both guys. Not saying it couldn't be done, but there are so many events, I think the UFC might want to avoid that situation.

They should bring in Antonio Silva.
Or at the very least Paulo Thiago and Thiago Alves.

The man needs to get back in there and get a victory. That last loss seemed to be rough for him emotionally.
Sadly for Forrest, I think he might have made it to the top by catching some lucky breaks. Shogun Rua came to the UFC in unspectacular condition, and Rampage Jackson showed up for his title fight out-of-shape, mentally unfocused, and with a lousy game plan.
I'm not taking anything away from Forrest. A win is a win, and he beat some great competitors. I'm just saying he may find it difficult to ever duplicate that level of success again. We may find that he's simply not capable of hanging with the elite light heavyweights.

You took some things away from him but I agree.
Actually I'm not sad, I've never liked him.

I know. "I'm not taking anything away from him" is almost always the cry of someone who is, in fact, taking something away from someone else. He's a tough fighter, and he has earned his wins. If he was able to take advantage of "lucky" circumstances, well, he put in the work to get himself into a situation where he could capitalize on those opportunities.
But the light heavyweight division is tough, and I don't think Forrest can make a career out of guys like Shogun and Rampage coming into fights out of shape.
You know, maybe Griffin against Vladimir Matyushenko would be good. Just a thought...

I was agreeing that I took something away from him even though I said I didn't. Then I elaborated saying that even if Griffin was lucky against Rampage and Shogun, Griffin put himself in a position to take advantage of those lucky circumstances through his hard work.
It was 3AM, and I may have not been communicating too well.
