This was a GREAT win by Forrest. He kept getting the shit kicked out of him with Adesanya's superior offence, then trying to fight his way back. In the last couple rounds, he succeeded in turning the tables and not only getting back into the fight, but also taking over. Potential fight of the year candidate, based on Griffin alone. Maybe performance of the year is most accurate assessment?
