“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.” — Mac Danzig, to Sherdog
“Look…to me, Quinton beat Forrest, but they gave it to Forrest. I think the UFC wants a champion that Chuck Liddell can beat, so he can win the belt again. He is an ex-champion, sells more and has more marketing.” — Lyoto Machida, to Tatame

commentsAlways opening your mouth to say dumb sh*t. Just shut up, train & fight in hopes to get a shot at BJ Penn, so you can lose already - bum.
I loved JYD, he really was a great man, who just happened to wrassle'.
I have heard more than a few storys about him hugging crying children, and telling them to not worry, cause he was just funnin' he didnt REALLY hurt that other man.
Now back in the day when the marketing assholes were trying to pump "REALSPORT" down everyone throat, it was a job risk for JYD to tell those children the truth, but his heart was so big, and he was such a very nice nice man.
Sadly the dawg is no longer with us, but his presence and his love is instilled in others.
I was lucky enough to meet him one time, outside of his ring persona, and he was alot like Rampage, in his great sense of humor, but he was very soft spoken, and even though I was 17 at the time, he hugged me, and I told him how much I appreciated him entertaining me....im so glad I got the chance to tell him how wonderful he was. :)
I hope that Rampage, as he gets older will emulate JYD, because Rampage can be a better person outside that ring, and I wish him the very best.
with that said, Forrest "beat that ass" :)
I wish Danzig wouldn't talk, he only opens his mouth and inserts both fucking feet, and I almost wish rampage would stomp his little hitler looking ass for him.
ILL GIVE HIME CREDIT WHO KNOWS HOW TO WIN A FIGHT. GREAT SO DOES SEAN SHERK. BUT YOU WANNA BE THE MAN GET IN THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. BE AGGRESIVE AND I CAN THROW A COUPLE WEAK ASS JABS AND RUN AROUND THE OCTAGON TOO. JUST LIKE JARDINE, HE WILL BE EXPOSED. HE ISNT THAT GOOD.
Woopee!

yeah baby. he was cool.
I will go straight to the main point.
Machida said in portuguese:
"Olha, para mim o Quinton ganhou do Forrest, mas deram para o Forrest.
Acho que agora eles casam a luta com o Chuck Liddell para ele levar o título.
Acho que eles querem que o Liddell fique com o título, é um ex-campeão, tem mais marketing e vende mais”
wich translates in english to:
"Look, to me Quinton won (the fight against) Forrest, but they (the judges) gave (the decision victory) to Forrest.
And now I think that they will settle the (title) fight with Chuck Liddell (next) ,for him to take the title. I feel that they want Liddel to stay with the title (in the end), he is an ex-champion, he has more marketing and sells more"
He is not implying that UFC rigged the decision and gave the title to Forrest as the TS of the other thread made it look like.
Machida is just saying that he doesnt agree with the judges. Thats the first sentence.
THEN he proceeds to analize whats next based on the result of the fight!
He said that since Forrest won, they will likelly to give the next title shot to Chuck Liddell, for the obvious reasons: Chuck is an ex-champion, more popular, sells more.

Hit and run piece of shit
Machida is kind of right.....but G.Peon hits the nail on the head. There are enough LHW's now, that a fighter can be pitted against someone who's style is impossible to beat....The UFC knows this and will place opponents as needed to build up the hype for future events...
@ VEe.....
Your crazy if you think a judge can't be bought or influenced..!..I'm not saying this has happened in the UFC, but it is very possible....The Olympics has a commission also, and look what happened there...!

Machida like many MMA fans don't realize that the judges and referees are hired by the State Athletic Commissions. Dana White can not do anything about it nor influence the outcome of any regulated contest.
According to Big John McCarthy getting a job involves kissing ass, not skill, experience or knowledge.
