Forrest Griffin shocked the world with his upset over Quinton (Rampage) Jackson to win 205-pound title at UFC 86.

“I’m not a feared guy but I’m going to fight you for 25 minutes,” said Griffin, who quit a career in law enforcement in Georgia to become a fighter. “Whoever you are, anybody at 205. I’m not going to break. I’m not going to quit.”

The fight ended up going the entire 5 rounds and the judges scored the bout 49-46, 48-46, 48-46 all for Griffin.

“You know what, I didn’t think Forrest could hang with me,” Jackson said. “I said if Forrest gets past the third round, he’ll gain my respect. And I respect him. And if I ever fight him again, I’m going to respect the hell out of him with my right hand.”

Looks like a rematch is already in the works, Who ya got?
