we could see tito vs griffin 2 later this yr, can you say MONEY MAKER

[Guest baseball25]

When I spoke to Forrest Griffin about his upcoming showdown against Anderson Silva at UFC 101 on Aug. 8, I got the sense that he wanted to talk about anything but that fight. Fine by me. The former UFC light heavyweight champion is one of the most personable and funny fighters in MMA.

Check out our interview below, where Griffin talks about everything from Kenny Powers to what he is looking forward to doing the most come Aug. 9. (Warning: explicit language below)

Ariel Helwani: The big rumor right now is that Tito Ortiz may be headed back to the UFC. Is that a loss you would like to avenge at this point in your career?

Forrest Griffin: Yeah, I think me and Tito would be a good fight. I think it would be a good seller. I know I want to fight him; I'm pretty sure he wants to fight me. So I think there'd be two guys with pretty decent names that could maybe put some a**** in seats.

Considering their history, would you be surprised if Dana White actually brought Ortiz back to the UFC?

No. You've got to think, those guys, they have a history together, if you think about it. At one point, Dana managed Tito. They have a history. They

were friends, and they had a falling out, but there was initially a friendship there, you know.

Do you believe Silva is the best fighter in the world?

Pound-for-pound, without a doubt.
