You were probably in the same group of people that wear an MMA shirt to the bar like you’re a fighter and screamed like a giddy school girl everytime Rampage even brushed Griffin. Jump on the bandwagon.

Jackson is a great fighter, I have tons of respect for the man and he could have won, IF:

-Jackson would have trained, seriously trained
-Jackson would have gotten in the ring a few times in the last 9 months
-Forrest hadn’t obviously studied every Rampage fight and knew how to break him down and avoid the big hits
-Forrest hadn’t been the constant aggressor in 4 of the 5 rounds
-Forrest hadn’t kept a majority of octagon control

FORREST GRIFFIN WON THE GAME, HE WENT THE DISTANCE AND BEAT RAMPAGE BY SKILL, TRAINING, PLANNING AND HEART.

Good Job forrest!

*insert rampage got robbed comment here*

FOR FUCKS SAKE!

what are the keys to victory in the octagon if the decision goes to the judges?

basically, its this:

dont get ur ass knocked out
dont get ur ass tapped out
maintain octagon control
be the aggressor

heres a recap of what happened:

Round 1:

Forrest was outstriking Jackson the entire time until he got clocked with the uppercut, which almost resulted in a ground and pound stoppage. too bad rampage pulled a brock lesnar and went to the ground with someone who knows how to use their jujitsu to pull guard to avoid ground and pound.

either way, round 1 belonged to rampage just because he landed that haymaker.

Round 2:

Forrest fucks up rampages knee, and takes him down. in side control, punishes rampage with quick elbows to the body and head. rampage’s legs are WIDE open, and lets forrest take the full mount. CLEARLY, forrest damaged rampages leg…and it all went down hill from there. Took full mount, until the round ended.

Forest takes round 2

Round 3:

Forrest is feeling a bit confident, but rampage quickly finds his distance, and lands some nice punches on forrest. however, forrest is still coming back at him even after rampages deadly exchanges, and tries to land the leg kicks.

All in all, id give round 3 to jackson just because i feel he landed the more effective strikes.

Round 4:

Forrest pwnt him this round with leg kicks again, and was clearly the aggressor. rampage still tried to put some hard combinations together, but his knee is gimped, and he doesnt have the speed to stalk forrest when he tags him and backs off. Call forrest a pussy you might, but hes the more intelligent fighter…bring the pressure at rampage, and back off. MAINTAINING OCTAGON CONTROL! oh yeah, not to mention forest got him in a DEEP triangle. and i couldnt help but laugh at that statement earlier by that douche bag that was like “if forest held on he knew what would of happened!” …precisely, THATS WHY HE LET GO OF THE TRIANGLE YOU FUCKING MORON!

round 4 griffin all the way

Round 5:

pretty much the same thing as round 4. forrest pushed the pace the entire time, and all jackson tried to do was put up some combinations.

all in all, rampage didnt do enough to win the fight, so as most of you haters are saying “that you have to beat the champ outright to take his belt”, how did griffin NOT do that? all jackson did was clock him with ONE uppercut, and connect with a few combinations. forest connected with more combinations, maintained octagon control by being the aggressor, had at least 5 different submission attempts, and if you didnt notice, fucked rampages knee up all nasty with leg kicks. so the argument that “rampage landed more punches” doesnt even matter since forrest probably landed more kicks then rampage landed punches…sooo yeah, eat it whore.

rampage didnt get robbed, and he even knows he lost. he admitted it. he even joked about it. if the man that lost ADMITTED he lost, and doesnt claim the contrary, why are all you idiot fucks saying he got robbed?

oh, i know. because:

a) you dont know shit about mma

b) you probably lost a whole lot of money betting on rampage

c) if you saw the fight and STILL think jackson got robbed, then ur just a fucking idiot.

get over it you fucking pussies, the UFC has a new light heavyweight champion, and he has now defeated 2 of the best 205 pounders in the world. to think that this kid DOESNT deserve the belt is just crazy.

congrats forrest, and fuck all of you people who believe this shit is racist. racist my fucking ass. you fuckers dont even know what racism is. people back in the day experienced racism, for example, hanging and killing you just beacuse your black, not letting you take a shit in a public bathroom just because your black, and raping your daughter right in front of you just because youre black. THATS RACISM. not a black mma fighter losing his belt.

eat it whores, we got a new champ.
