Sherdog talks to the trainers of Rashad Evans and Forrest Griffin. From what Griffin coach Shawn Tompkins says, my fears of a boring dance-a-thon are confirmed:
“Obviously, we have to make sure Forrest’s hands are up nice and high and not get caught into a game where we chase Rashad around,” Tompkins said. “I think that’s really where Chuck went wrong. And so we have to be smart with that ’cause Forest has a bit of a habit of just wanting to fight so badly that he’ll fall into that. Make Rashad come to us and really just do what Forrest does, and that’s really make the fight as tough as possible, because he’s such a durable guy.”
