If Griffin wins again, I think it puts him in a place of beauty as far as title shots go and he looks good coming off a win off of former UFC middleweight champion Rich Franklin (fun fact, both Griffin and Franklin have lost to Anderson Silva.)
If Shogun wins however, I think he's got 2 or 3 more before he's put back in the title picture after his humiliating loss at the hands (or should I say elbows) of Jonny 'Bones' Jones with guys like Rampage, Machida, Rashad, and Davis all with their eyes on the prize.
My prediction: Griffin uses his wrestling and BJJ to impose a similar game plan as the first fight and wears Shogun down, allowing him to pick apart Shogun in the stand-up and wins a nice UD.
Who do you think takes the rematch? Why? (notice the BOLDED 'why?')
