Tell Forrest Griffin, James Irvin, Dan Henderson and Rich Franklin about the hype-train. He beat three of them like little kids who stole something and made a world-class grappler tap. He may be many things, but hype he isn't. Next Monday, your girlfriend Chael will be back to being an irrelevant real-estate agent. A year from now, nobody will even remember his name.
Forrest Griffin = Pillow hands (Commentators overrate his technical boxing too) and no wrestling ability (he admits this in his book, which I've read)
James Irvin = COMPLETE CAN, he loses to everyone, of course Silva was gonna kill him
Dan Henderson = This is his best win, but it's arguable that Henderson was on a down-slope, he just came off a loss to Rampage before this, and recently lost to Shields.
Rich Franklin = Wasn't being challenged in the MW division, because it lacked talent (and still does).
Wanna put some more names up?
