Very true.

tito is controversial. IMO (and a lot of other people's) forrest got robbed in the decision. He's a much more well rounded fighter than Tito. As for Jardine, I say Forrest is better, but he lost so I won't argue that one until he rematches Jardine. Keith caught him slipping fair and square.

LOL, I'm sorry I didn't read your post very thoroughly. I have no idea were he's ranked or if there are any fighters besides the ones you mentioned that are better than him.

I agree, but I think that it means he should get a rematch with these fighters, not first crack at the top light heavyweight in the world.

I think Lyoto Machida should only be 1 or 2 fights away from a title shot, that said, Forrest getting the title shot does raise my eyebrow. On one hand I can't deny that he doesn't deserve it, on the other I can say that Jardine deserves it more.

No, you can't. Forrest has two wins in a row and Jardine only has Chuck since his last loss.

Forrest lost to Jardine, then redeemed himself with a win over Hector Ramirez before dismantling Shogun.

Jardine KOed Forrest then proceeded to get beaten like a red-headed stepchild by Houston Alexander. He returned with a split decision win over Chuck.

and for all these reasons, the next title shot should go to...Thiago Silva!
