(Wandy stays ready, so he ain’t got to get ready.)
Now that we’re done with The Ultimate Fighter for a little while we can finally turn our attention to the stacked UFC 92 card at the end of the month. With two titles (okay, one title and one “interim” thing) up for grabs, as well as the return of “Rampage” Jackson against arch-nemesis Wanderlei Silva, I’m looking forward to this event the way I used to look forward to Christmas until a couple years ago when I found out there was no Santa Claus. It was my dad, all along. You believe that shit? No wonder my presents were always stained with bourbon and tears.
UFC light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin made a rare prediction for the event in an interview with MMA Fanhouse. No, not a prediction for his own fight. The way Griffin talks sometimes, he seems to think everyone’s a better fighter than he is (when asked if he thinks he deserves to mentioned along with guys like Anderson Silva and Fedor Emelianenko, he responded, “Fuck no,” which is accurate but still a little sad). But he did make a prediction for the Wanderlei-Rampage fight:
Oddsmakers would seem to kind of agree with Griffin, but with some picking Wanderlei as a slight favorite and some pegging it even, nobody seems entirely sure of anything in this fight. Just to make things even more interesting, I suggest the UFC officially dub this a loser-goes-crazy bout. Either that or a loser-grows-hair fight, and that just doesn’t offer the same immediate payoff.

Sometimes you just wander if people are deliberately trying for the Comment of the Week... And are just failing...

Thanks for the Mirko-Big Nog fight. That is great.

comments of the week generally have to use a fighter in the article and something about the fighters past like a DQ for some reason, past quote (pee, pee, pee) or an obscure movie reference.

I think Dec. 27 is the night that these UFC only fans get to see the reality of who Wanderlei Silva is, and poor Rampage gets his ass kicked royaly!

If Wandy's health meter doesn't go down then he will be my favorite fighter in the UFC video game. I'd turn into a Wandy "super-fan" Wandy vs. God, Wandy would take it because even God took a day off.

Sounds like Wandy got a hold of my old game genie codes. Rampage should implement the "unplug the power and run off crying" technique.

wins-Ouch! If Wandy's health meter doesn't go down then he will be my favorite fighter in the UFC video game. I'd turn into a Wandy "super-fan" Wandy vs. God, Wandy would take it because even God took a day off.

Wander-GAY Silva...

"unplug the power and run off crying" technique.---> Wasn't that what he did after the Griffin fight?

Trolls like this is why you should have to have an account to comment.

Of course Griffin is going to say that he thinks Silva is going to win, he trains with the man. How pissed off would you be if your sparring partner said you were going to lose the upcoming fight you were training for from a guy you are training with. I would be pissed. I like Rampage, and would like him to win, it will be a good fight. And no, I did not say that about Griffin because I like Rampage, I'm just saying of course he thinks the guy he is training with is going to win. Anybody in that situation would say that.
Mon, 12/15/08 - 12:20
Thanks for the clarification.

Forrest Gump could've predicted he would win a decision against Rampage in his title fight. Dana needed to legitimize his tv show so anything close he was going to win. Forrest lost to Keith Jardine, he is a hump who will be a one hit wonder
Mon, 12/15/08 - 12:44
It's gonna suck to be the winner of the Griffin/Evans title fight. More than likely, after Wandy axe-murders Rampage for the third time he will get a title shot.
Mon, 12/15/08 - 01:03
fuck yea. that was bad ass, can't believe i've never seen it before
Mon, 12/15/08 - 01:13
@ ksgbobo Well said! I think Forrest needs to work on not getting KTFO by Evans! I can't wait for this freakin card!
Mon, 12/15/08 - 01:16
Wanderlei would own crazy before he gets it. (That sentence made perfect sense in my head)
Mon, 12/15/08 - 03:39
I hope like hell Griffin wins, I can't stand Evans.
Tue, 12/16/08 - 09:03
I like both griffin and evans, but I am never betting against evans ever again. As for wandy, if hes so superbad, and doesnt have a video game life bar why is it his ass got beat by chuck liddell? Hes not so tough, and I'm gonna go with rampage on this one.
