Normally I never agree with you, but I do believe this is what the UFC needs to do. Bringing up Arlovski/Sylvia doesn't really help the opinion though. The difference between Arlovski/Sylvia was that the HW lack any really legit contenders at this point to make a better fight. That is not the case when it comes to the Light Heavyweight divison of today. But beyond that, Rampage/Griffin I was a controversial fight that needs to be settle sooner better then later. I don't believe Rampage shouldn't have to earn his way to get a rematch for the title, after a close desicion... In these cases there should be immediate rematches. Thats one of the few things that positive about boxing. Griffin didn't do enough IMO, to really claim he was the Light Heavyweight king of the world... If he beat Rampage X2, then he could wear the crown with honor, as the 1st fight is filled with controversey.

How about you continue to stop posting in here, especially if you are going to come here and flamebait me because you have some kind of lame vendetta against me, that I do not personally care about. You're an idiot... I did not bash Mac Danzig for speaking flavorably about Forrest Griffin... If he thought Forrest won that's cool. But then he went out of his way to bash Rampage. "He was training in the gym everyday, not running around with a chain around his neck, telling people he's a thug" He accused Rampage of not training, and running around "with a chain around his neck, telling people he's a thug"... Which is complete utter bullshit considering Rampage is one of the most down to earth people in the sport. Although Rampage does talk about his troubled past, he does not claim he's any kind of thug. I find it very disrespectful of Mac to say something like that about a fighter who's accomplished more then what he can dream of. But then again this isn't the 1st time Mac has put his foot in his mouth. Therefore bashing him for fighter bashing is warranted. So please niskie, go away as I don't care for your little bickering to me back and forth in my favorite folder.

How about out wrestling, Josh Koscheck, Matt Hughes, Karo Parisyan... Are they half of GSP's size? Maintain top position and ground + pound, like Jon Fitch did. Diego had problems sweeping Fitch... GSP is a stronger wrestler then Diego. His striking is not as explosive as GSP, nor does he have the one punch KO power like Matt Serra does to knock out GSP... GSP would pick apart Diego on the feet. Like I said, Diego's striking looked good against Luigi... But when has Luigi ever been known as a stand up fighter instead of a wrestler with very basic stand up?

He is a tool though... If he says something stupid, he should be called out on it. Rampage doesn't go around talking about how much of a thug he is, he is one of the most down to earth people I've seen in MMA. Why are you even posting here? Since when have you ever commented on anything MMA related? Seems to me you're flame baiting. Oh yeah, I'm calling Mac Danzig a tool, because he is the one doing the fighter bashing in his comment.

Mac Danzig: I might be a little biased because Forrest is a good friend and training partner, but in my opinion Forrest won the fight hands down, three rounds to two. He outworked him from beginning to end, and even though not everything he threw landed, at least he fought the whole time instead of just looking for one big shot. You know, Forrest trained hard for this fight and it showed. He was training in the gym everyday, not running around with a chain around his neck, telling people he's a thug. http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles.asp?n_id=13580 What a tool...

Can you pass me some of that shit you're smoking? There was no way I can see Diego being able to takedown GSP. And although his striking looked good against Luigi Fioravanti... Luigi isn't GSP.

Even though I'm Canadian, and was originally born in Montreal.... GO BJ GO! GO BJ GO!

I also think the 10 point must system is a very flawed way to judge a MMA fight, because of the controversey it has been causing since desicions and judges scorecards have been introduced to MMA. But the main problem is there is no other way really to judge the fight and it's the only way that makes sense.

He got a 10-8 round for buckling Rampage, and completely dominating the round from the opening bell to the end. Rampage did absolutely nothing on offense to warrant it being 10-9. There are other factors to judging a 10-8 round. There has been rounds in boxing that have been scored 10-8 round without a knockdown, because of pure domination of that round.

But Rampage also didnt do ANYTHING in the round to warrant a 10-9... Forrest also buckled Rampage very hard with that leg kick which is the main reason why I scored it 10-8.

Randy Couture(Forrest's trainer) scored it 10-8 as well... When a fighter comes close to finishing a fight, I think it warrants a 10-8. I'm a firm believer that 10-8 rounds are not used enough in MMA.

Here's how I scored the fight. Round 1: Although Forrest was winning the round until getting knocked down... I scored the round 10-8 for Rampages due to the knockdown. In boxing usually a knockdown warrants an automatic 10-8 round to the fighter who scored the knockdown, and thats how I score MMA fights as well. It wasn't like Forrest was completely dominating the round as well. Rampage 10-8 Round 2: Forrest completely dominated the round and buckled Rampage with a leg kick. I scored this 10-8, because of Forrests clear dominating this round. Rampage offered nothing on offense to prevent this from being a 10-8 for Forrest. Round 3: Rampage rocked Forrest a few times in this round... Forrest landed a few leg kicks, but I thought this was clearly Rampages round due to him doing the most damage this round. Rampage 10-9 Round 4: Forrest had a triangle choke attempt but it was never close to getting locked in. Rampage defend well and when he got the fight to the stand up he busted Forrest up, causing a good cut below the right eye. Once again you have to give this round to Rampage because he caused the most damage in the round, causing Forrest to get cut badly. Rampage 10-9 Round 5: Forrest wins this round, due to the fact he was outstriking Rampage the majority of the round. Where as Rampage was just trying to look for the one big punch to finish the fight. Forrest played it smart and avoided most of Rampages shots. Forrest 10-9 My final scored card 47-46 for Rampage... Close fight, but I really felt you couldn't give Forrest the 3-4 round due to the fact it was Rampage who did the most damage.

Either way, fighter bashing shouldn't be allowed and is very disgraceful... The majority of MMA forums don't allow it, so should this place

Although I promised I would stop the name calling, but you sir, are a n00b who has no idea about what a "REAL MMA FIGHTER" is... How long have you been watching MMA? Just this year? Rampage is overrated and boring? Yeah... Ok, was this the only Rampage fight you've seen? He has no finesse or real style? Yeah ok... That's why he went to K-1 Kickboxing and outstriked an accomplished kickboxer in Cyril Abidi, twice... Let's see Forrest go to K-1 and face an real striker. I think fighter bashing should be against the rules of this forum...

I'm sorry, but I think you guys are listening too much to Rogan blowing off Forrest instead of actually watching the fight. Rampage clearly won that fight... His punches were the more powerful and effective punches in the whole fight. Forrest threw alot, but Rampage displayed good defense. The only round were Forrest clearly won was the 2nd round. I had Rampage up 3 rounds going into the final round, the last round could've gone either way. I honestly don't know how people can score round 4 for Forrest... None of his submission attempts were really close. I mean if Diego Sanchez couldn't beat Jon Fitch, when he had him in closer submission attempts in their fight, how the fuck you gonna score that round for Forrest, when Rampage was out striking him that round, and even slammed him out of that submission attempt.
