Glover vs Rashad is it. Why, because he can once again avenge his mentor's loss and he's higher up in rankings. Then the title shot is his. Suddenly the LHW division has woken up. Too bad King Mo didn't sign. Him vs Rashad would be interesting. But I'm glad the Dream Catcher is now finally in the UFC.
I worry for Shogun actually. He's taken such a beating in his last four fights with one sole win against Vera. Prolly more so than his entire career.

I agree with others on here I didn't see anything from Teixeira that suggest he is ready for Jones, but who is.

I didn't really see much from him that suggested he's "The future of 205" like he's being hyped up as at all. Honestly I don't consider Rampage to be that good of a fighter anymore. He's a high level gatekeeper in my mind and he more than gave Glover the opportunity to destroy him in that fight and Glover didn't even put together a dominating decision win. I'm not impressed, honestly, and if he gets Rashad next I'm betting on Rashad winning that fight relatively easy unless he starts acting stupid and sticks his chin out. Jones would absolutely destroy him, as well.

How can people honestly claim Glover didn't dominate? He handled Jackson everywhere, with little trouble.
People go on and on about how such and such would struggle with Jones, but if we scheduled fights on that logic, guys like Silva, GSP, and Jones would have zero challengers.
Glover dominated. He didn't rush into anything, but do people forget who he was fighting? Rampage is known for landing in wild exchanges. Glover fought smart and Jackson had nothing for him.

Glover will win and it will probably be pretty dominate, but I see no way Glover is going to stop Rampage.

It only takes about 17 knees to hurt Rampage...I have to see if Hendo can get KOed though.
Hunt's been koed, but miraculously took a Mirko LHK.
Fedor by an H-bomb upper cut.
Big Foot
Brock
Korean Zombie
Shogun
All the aforementioned are pretty durable, but do break eventually.
Overall I enjoyed the fight. It went pretty much as planned. I didn't think Glover was going to stand and bang for that long though. Show's he confident with his hand and his own chin cuz he took some pretty hard shots from Rampage.
I'm trying to think if Rampage was really that good. He did beat Chuck x at his prime, Hendo, got one on Wand, gifted fight against Lyoto, but I dunno either he never really trained seriously or what, but he just seems like a fighter you'd see from the early UFC days.

I wasn't overly impressed by Glovers performance. He needs a bigger test before anyone thinks of saying he's ready for Jones. Rampage sadly gassed and became very predictable

Maldonado came out of this looking good. Rampage hit Glover clean on the chin over and over and couldn't hurt him. Maldonado hit him once and almost KO'd him.
