I agree. I'm a huge fan of both guys, but Forrest has the best chin of anyone I have ever seen in MMA. He has heart to spare and if this turns into a battle of attrition, like the Shogun fight did, Forrest will be in good shape. I don't know if he can win a decision, but if it goes into the fourth and fifth rounds, he will be in better position to pull out some sort of submission like he did with Rua. While Rampage in the fourth and fifth will be looking for a home run or just to hang on.
With all of that being said, Rampage could very well ground and pound this thing out in the first two rounds and I wouldn't be surprised at all. One factor to throw out as well is the fact that Forrest is a notorious bleeder, which may lead to a cut stoppage. Those completely suck because we know Forrest can win with his face destroyed. That type ending would be a nice set-up for Liddell-Forrest or Forrest-Rampage 2, though.
