This is the video that will air just before tonight's UFC 86 main event:

Forrest Griffin explains his strategy for taking on light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage "Jackson: "My feet are quicker than his. I think I have better feet. With my length and good footwork I can stay away from his power. I want to stay on the outside. Kick him, punch him, run."

I think that is the right game plan, especially considering how good Rampage is in the clinch. But I would also add that I think Griffin could have some success on the ground. Rampage hasn't submitted anyone with a jiujitsu move in more than seven years, and in UFC he's not allowed to use knees to the head on the ground, which were one of his favorite techniques in Pride.

That's not to say I think Griffin will win this fight on the ground; my pick is Rampage. But Griffin doesn't necessarily have to stay on his feet to win this fight.
