More Upsets

I give up. I know 2007 is the year of upsets as far as mixed martial arts (MMA) is concerned, but the past few months have given us...

1) another Cro Cop loss? (Cheick Kongo broke Mirko's rib in the 1st round causing Cro Cop to lose gas and the decision.)

2) accomplished fighter Din Thomas getting TKO'd by a reality televion star in Kenny Florian?

3) Keith Jardine beating the former world light heavyweight champion, Chuck "the Iceman" Liddell?

4) and Forrest Griffin, another reality TV star, beating THE uncrowned number 1 light heavyweight, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua? As in the dude who broke (current under 205 lb champ) Rampage's ribs? The dude who tapped out a steroid-enhanced Kevin Randleman? Shogun from team Chute Boxe joins his once successful teammates in this slump. Wanderlei Silva recently lost his Pride under 205 lb championship to Dan Henderson earlier this year. His brother Murilo "Ninja" Rua lost his Elite XC middleweight title to Robby Lawler just last week. Other than Shogun accidentally breaking his forearm to aging champ Mark Coleman, Forrest Griffin is the only fighter to finish Rua in four years. Since his debut in Pride, Shogun has been 12-1... until meeting Forrest Griffin.

Randy Couture also once correctly predicted the upset here. I know he predicted several before but I really doubted him for choosing Forrest Griffin. Never again.
