Hopefully Fury does something with Griffin. That's pretty ballsy trading Lawler for him.

heres the thing
i would have offered a lot more than this
this feels weird but i mean maybe new guys should do trade blocks or something instead of having existing members doing quiet negotiations when newbues dont know just how much value they can get

He has Josh Koshcheck, but didn't have any good Heavyweights really. And I'm going to work on Lawler because he just lost to Douglas Lima. Forrest Griffin is still a top HW, but if it matters that much to people I'll do ten points and Griffin. |

The complex thing with this site is name value carries a lot of weight. Under these circumstances, I am more than willing to let you negotiate with the new team and see if you can give him something he likes more. My understanding was Griffin was someone he really liked. But since everyone's intention here is to not fleece the new guy, this can totally be discussed. Also, you should be aware, as The Texas Rattlesnakes is, if a trade is made with a new team, and they quit, it's entirely possible your trade is undone or, in more complex situations involving several trades, that you lose the newly acquired fighter without compensation or a trade reversal. |

Forrest Griffin and 10 points for Robbie Lawler?? Rape Robbie Lawler - 1SF Belt - 3MW Belts and 14 Title Defences (Tied for most MW defenses all-time with Anderson Silva) Forrest Griffin - 0SF Belt - 1HW Belt, 3 title defences and he lost it at ManMMA 60. SIXTY. He hasn't won ANYTHING in over 340 fight cards and that doesn't include Grand Prix events. How in the hell can you say that Griffin and 10 points is an overpayment? Lawler is literally the BEST MW we have EVER had. Period. And he had one bad fight against Douglas Lima, and all of a sudden he is garbage? |

Yes to all that, but Wanderlei Silva has the record for most defenses I think with 15. |

Maybe I read Silva and thought it was Anderson. It's very likely Wanderlei. So Lawler and Silva. Tied for best all time, and likely will continue to be for a while, and yet this trade is criticized...

Not trying to diminish Lawler's accolades but I just dont think he's worth Forrest and 10 points

Forrest Griffin (55-43) HW
Robbie Lawler (48-23) MW
