Did anyone catch what Dana said to Rashad as Rashad was exiting the octagon after his fight with machieda? Looked to me like he was flipping him off, having ago at him. He could of simply been saying sorry for your loss but the body langauge of both men seemed to be as though they had a huge dislike to each other.

I noticed that too, but I don't think it was anything negative. It looked to me like Dana was reassuring Rashad and saying sorry for the loss and Rashad waved his hand like, "I'm ok, no big deal".

Of course I'm reading into it just as much as you are, but I didn't see anything to make me think that there was anything weird going on.

Yeah i did think that is what he might of said and what he probably did say, it was more the body langauge of both men and the look on Dana's face that got me thinking he might of said something more negative to Rashad. I did intitialy think he might have told Rashad that he was finished and Rashad waved him off with a kind of "don't talk crap" kinda statement.

Although i think that was the beer making my mind run away with me last night haha

I interpreted it as something along the lines of:

Dana: "Hey man, you're a great fighter and you'll bounce back. Everyone gets caught. Don't take this one too hard".

Rashad: "Ah...easy come easy go, whatever...I'll be back."

Certainly didn't strike me as anything negative or insulting, and I was drinking too. :confused05:

Anyone have a link to this. Maybe it has something to do with why did you not let me fight Rampage first. Why ol almighty? Or they told him his next fight is against his buddy Jardine.

I think Dana was trying to reasure Rashad and he just didnt want to hear it, I think Rashad was still self confident and didnt want the pity reasurances that are always given after knock outs like that.

More telling to me was Joe Silva walking up to Lyoto and saying "nice finish" in a very brisk sort of way and then doing a 180 and walking away fast.


I read that maybe there had been some behind closed doors discussions between Dana, Joe Silva, and Lyoto about him not finishing fights. I was also drinking. :confused05:

I just thought he said sorry things didnt go your way or something like that since his mouth only moved for a minute and rashad then shrugged it off.

I just rewatched that moment and I'm not seeing any of this anger on Dana's face other people are. When he first makes eye contact with Rashad he sort of cringes but I think Rashads eyes were still a little foggy and probably still wandering from the KO, which would have prompted the "Are you alright?".... "yeah I'm fine" theory everyone else has. If Dana didn't like Rashad he wouldn't have let him headline the big end of the year event in December.
