| A great fight to watch and congrats to the guy he is one hard working dude. Rampage will be back and hopefully they can have a rematch in the future. |

| Forrest out fought Rampage throughout most of the fight so he deserves to be the champ. |

Excuses, Cros. What made Rampage not fully prepared this time?
Will he win a rematch? Possibly, but dont do Forrest the disservice of playing down this win. |

Forrest was on the top of his game that night. But I really think that Jackson looked a bit bored at times, it was as if he didn't care very much about the whole thing.
I think he could win a rematch pretty convincingly.
However, I think they will push for a Griffin - Liddel match next, that would be MASSIVE money for the UFC. Their two most popular fighters going at it for the title. |

forrest was better on the night and i really like the bloke, i think he really deserves to be champion, but i dont think rampage was on his game on the night. i think rampage will beat forrest if he's at his best, thats if he gets a rematch. i think if anderson silva beats irvin then they will match him against forrest next. |

I think that Forrest should win again as long as he keeps Rampage at bay early, I think though in a rematch Rampage would be much more aggresive early on when he is very strong, Forrests kicks had a massive impact on the fight, and I think that rampage,if hw was kicked in a rematch would not step back to take another, but move forward and close the range.
Great fight though and I love Forrest, he is such a dude. |

I don't think forrest won it, and I just got the feeling rampage didn't take him that seriously, didn't think he looked as ripped as he normally does and seemed to be struggling not to smile the whole walk out and staredown, he said himself he'd respect forrest if he lasted till the 3rd round, so congratulations to forest, but I don't think that was rampage at 100% |

| Rampage had weeks and weeks to prepare, so there's no excuse. It's not like he had 1 week notice or anything. He had from the beginning of TUF to get ready. Griffin deserved the win. |

| The excuse wasn't time, just he took forrest lightly, and I watched it again, couldn't score it to griffin |

Hats off to Griffin. I dont think the fight was as obvious to score for Griffin and to be honest I really wouldnt have been shocked to have seen Rampages hand risen at the end of the fight but Griffin definitely deserved the win and Rampage couldnt argue that.
Hopefully they will have a rematch. Liddell/Griffin might do big money for the UFC but I dont think it would be a good fight. Personally I would much rather see Rampage/Griffin 2. |
