(Props: Fox Fight Game)
If you can get past the ill-conceived idea to interview Dana White during a point in the UFC 100 live show that is so loud you have to shout directly into his ear in order to be heard, and then capitalizing on that opportunity by asking such probing non-questions as “Congratulations!” and “Frank Mir really has nothing to lose tonight,” you’ll see a little footage of the aftermath of a Octagonside shoving match between “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans. Dana White seems all too accustomed to this stuff, which should tell us something about the way the next season of TUF is going to turn out.
These are two guys who know they are going to be paid very well to fight one another in a few months, and yet here they are tussling for free in the seats at the UFC’s biggest event, basically making a sideshow of themselves. Either this is the most committed effort to hype a fight ever, or these guys really do hate each other. Regardless, you gotta keep it together during an event where you’re basically a spectator/PR vehicle for the UFC. Otherwise Dana White is not going to take you knuckleheads anywhere.

I saw griffin beat an extremely gassed shogun and lose to rampage."
gassed huh? guess why he was gassed...cause Griffin whipped his fucking ass that's why!
You saw Forrest LOSE to rampage? really? did Rampage have the belt when he walked out of the ring? hmmmm was that a no? maybe you need to get some glasses cause your dumbass is SEEING the wrong thing.
I predict rampage will knock Rashad out. rashad has lost his mind keeping up this stupid act. As long as he acts this way he will always lose.
I can just imagine Tito patting Rashad on the back afterwards and saying "Good job kid, you've learned how to hype a fight from the best", and then walking off with a huge grin, marveling at what a marketing genius he is. If you can take this kind of shit seriously, then I admire you.
didn't we just see what happens when a decorated pride vet fights a TUF winner?

I guess you didn't watch either Griffin-Shogun or Griffin-Rampage, huh?
Love how Dana said that Brock is a grouch the week of the fight. That almost qualifies as foreshadowing.
UFC has no need for any "Heel's"
Competitive aggression is enough...
Or they just cant stand not being the center of attention.
