That is a keen observation and many times a good indication of who won the fight. Forrest's face looked like ground beef and Rampage looked like he came out of the sauna or something.

Rampage was in complete control of that fight from start to finish. Even when he was fully mounted by Forrest, he was still controling the fight. You could tell he was resting his leg during that 2 minutes he was mounted.

It's too bad to see the UFC getting so full of shit.

Rampage was close to nocking Forest out every round. Forest hurt him with a good leg kick and other then the second round didn't do anything, but throw some week punches and tried to nock out Rampages leg out again. Rampage fought with one leg and still was able to pound on Forests face. Forest put up a good fight, but just like Chuck, Forest is one of Dana Whites lackeys and is now the UFC Champion after getting in one good round. Who's going to be your next champ Dana...Chris Leben!!!

That doesn't mean shit. Forrest cuts very easily and Rampage landed the harder shots. Forrest was more active, landed kicks to the legs and the body (what? you can hit places other than the face?), and dominated the grappling.

Alright, now I know you're joking.

You're implying the judges were paid off? If so, you really need to stop watching the UFC, or MMA in general. If you're going to bitch so much why even watch? No one's forcing you. Just f*cking leave.

I have never posted or gone to any mma forums till now, but after watching the main event and then the outcome it was laughable. I'm a fan of both fighters but there is NO way in hell that it should have been unanimous against Rampage.

Ramp won the 1st round with the knockdown 10-8 shouldn't be scored any other way. 2nd round for Forest but not 10-8 yea the legs kicks were brutal but u take 3 kicks to the knee all on each side your gonna go down.The thing is once he went down Forest did NO damage I mean NO damage to Rampage.Forest got controled by the bottom man.All he could do was rub his elbows on his face and hardly any strikes at all.The man problem with mma is that people to put to much weight into a takedown. It needs to be judged on a takedown + damage not just a takedwon.

So I would score it 10-9 Forest but with Ramp doing little from bottom but resting his leg,don't have a big problem with 10-8.

Then the last 3 rounds Ramp won Forest got a few legs kicks in but nothing compared to the 1st 2 rounds. Forest was more active but not effective the last 3 but paid for it in punches received then what he gave out.

So I gave Rampage the last 3 10-9.I had 15 other people over that were all for Forest and they were all shocked in how it was scored.

As for what Rampage said after the fight show that he is a class act and isn't gonna point fingers but watch the tape and look at Forest cause he knew he lost and was surprised by the scoring.They are both kick ass fighters and people and can't wait for a rematch.

The problem is the UFC is going downhill and has been for awhile ever since they started going to fights every other month (but hey supply and demand).They still put on the best show but the title fights, I think have become where you can speculate on if its rigged or others are being paid becuase the fighters just don't seem to be themselves in the title fight. The more that you see boxing promoters becoming more involved in the UFC or MMA the more there will be questions.

I thought it was the right call. the first round you can give to Jackson only for knocking Forrest down, but it didn't look like it hurt him all that much. Like he recovered before he hit the ground. He defended really well then Jackson tryed to GnP him, he postured up and didn't take much damage. But he was landing nice leg kicks on Jackson

The second round, that was all Forrest. Completely controlled Jackson on the ground and some more leg kicks. I think he went all the way from full guard to half, to side and then to mount. Jackson did a alright job tying Forrest's arms up, but I didn't seem him doing anything to try and reverse him. Just laying there hoping to be stood up.

Third round that was a little tought to call I think that could have gon either way. They were both pretty aggressive. And trading punches with each other. Forrest backed out of any attacks that he didn't start, pretty smart of him.

I think it was the fourth round that Forrest had those nice submission attempts, the triangle and the omilata. And those were just from Forrest tripping, trying to trip Jackson heh.

The last round was a lot like the third, they seemed pretty matched. Both waiting to start throwing at the end of the round.

Other than that uppercut Jackson threw in the first round, I didn't seem him land anything that major on Forrest for the rest of the fight. Meanwhile Forrest was scoring points left and right. He's great at that. I wonder how hard it is for Jackson to keep that angry face through the announcements... lol. I loved what they did at the end when they announced the winner. When bruce says by UD "And..." Forrest looks away in disappointment for a second "... NEW UFC lightleavy weight champion" that was great.

i haven't been on since march. for the simple fact of all the unintellegent bullshit that began to be posted in here daily. it used to be most guys knew their shit, now alot of people that don't know too much about anything have taking over the majority of the postings. i can see it's still that way. i could have quoted tons of ridiculous remarks but i'll save myself the debate with rookies. anyways, i've watched the fight three times now, and my opinion is the same as it was after i first saw it, that was too close to give to the challenger. (mind you forrest wasn't even the #1 contender) however forrest did impose his game plan, landed some devistating kicks, stayed away from any significant damage. and got the 10-8 in the second. i was debating weather this should have been a 10-8 because in the mount forrest didn't really land any devistating but page did absolutely nothing to try and get up. i understand he was resting his leg, but still doing nothing is going to earn an 8 instead of 9. everytime there was much of an exchange though forrest, got out quick which was smart but to win the belt....i just think it should have been a more clear cut take away, and the fact it was unanamous really surprised me. Q really should have finished though, cause you never know with the judges. Maybe dana white is paying back the guy who gave the most significant fight ever (which is also bullshit) bonner and griffin, the most important fight in ufc history...c'mon man. oh and lastly this would have never happend if it weren't for a 9 month lay off, that was a mistake on rampage's part.
