This doesn't even compare to the judging blunder from Hamill vs Bisping, Hamill owned him! KOuch,

I watched the fight 3 times already and still have the same outcome as the first time I watched it Forrest 3 rounds to Rampage’s 2, the judges got it right. This doesn’t even compare to the judging blunder from Hamill vs Bisping, Hamill owned him!

I said that I saw the fight 47-47. But yesterday after the Warped Tour on Sunday I got to watch the fight again. I give the fight to Forrest 48-46. Rampage still won round one 10-9, theres no changing that and I dont see any reasoning otherwise, Forrest got round 2 10-8 total domination, Round 3 is the round Im changing, I give it to Forrest 10-9, but that round was the closest in my opinion, Rampage gets #4 10-9, and Forrest #5 10-9. I think Nelson Hamilton, scored it this way. His was the only sensible judging. But regardless since the fight was a very close fight I and I think many of us would Love to see a rematch to settle the score. Wattup I would like to retract my earlier entry.

Nogueira looked like a world beater prior to his arrival to the WEC. He got upset in his WEC debute unfortunately. Both he and Jens are coming off losses and both are decent size names in the game and should make for a good match. It will be interesting to see Arlovski in a boxing match. He has good hands, hand speed and power. Besides, the HW Boxing division needs some fresh new faces and some new exciting fighters and I think Arlovski could be just that. Plus, he brings a fairly decent following from MMA along with him to boxing which is good! Now that Tennessee is on board with MMA, it would be cool if the UFC set up a card in Memphis so that Rampage can fight in front of his home town. Either one of the following matches would easily sell out in Memphis: Rampage-vs-Vanderlei 3 or Rampage-vs-Shogun 2 Jens Pulver versus Alexandre Franca Nogueira should be a pretty good match up.

I'm glad you mentioned that buddy, as its been at least 1 day since anyone posted anything about Mr UFC, I was beginning to worry that he had retired. Johnboy

I don't give a shit what excuse the crowd has for booing! It is disrespectful to the fighters who train hard and risk their lives for our entertainment. I've watched the fight again and again and again......I feel the same way I did after watching it live. Rampage did not sucessfully defend his title. It was a terrible, horrific, ugly, lacked champion desire.....it's the epidamy of all title defenses. That is why Rampage is no longer champion. I feel people are stuck on this, "you have to beat the champ" UNofficial rule. Well, watch again, Forrest beat him. Those of you giving Rampage the first round are giving him the round for ONE punch that knocked Forrest down. Other than that, what did Rampage do to solidify the round? He didn't even attempt to G&P aside from one very inaccurate haymaker. Then Forrest managed to stand up from his back with Rampage clinching and pushing against him. Forrest threw and connected more kicks than Rampage did all his strikes put together....therefore Rampage cannot take the round based on striking. Forrest pushed the pace, attacked more, made several submission attempts and caused damage with his kicks. Forrest did more work and it paid off. Forrest WON! YEAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
