Too many variables. They could get Shogun to fight Lidell or Forrest if he loses.

Agreed. If Rampage wasn't having his legal troubles I would think after that win they would go right back to a title rematch if Forrest wins. But the UFC might be hesistant to make that move immediately.

Also can't forget the winner of Machida/Silva. Whoever wins that probably will get the next title shot especially if its Machida.
 
Rampage's hands seem very very powerful. Two 1 hit knockouts against opponents with solid chins. Even though he got knocked out by Jardine, Forrest withstood multiple clean punches by Rampage; I really don't see Rashad knocking him out or even doing significant damage. Glad I didn't layout that bet and trusted myt instinct, Forrest will probably take a decsion.
 
This show's almost as brutal as the last UFC. We just need somebody to tear a guy's arm off in a submission.
 
Why is everyone still shocked when Rampage knocks people the fuck out? If he gets a submission, be surprised. Knockout by decapitation? Par for the course.

I don't think people are shocked. Especially in a match against Wanderlei where it was pretty clear somebody was probably going to get KO'ed.

I think a very clean boxing style knockout is always a bit of a charge in an MMA fight.

Rampage was so slow though after those leg kicks. He couldn't put his full weight on some of those strikes and I would argue that Forrest didn't take Rampages best at all. Evans is faster and won't make the same mistake. He doesn't have Rampage's strength, but he's nothing to scoff at either.

Also C.B looked like he just gave a fake tap. Luckily it wasn't called.

That's just called a Dolloway tap. :lol

Yeah he needs to stop doing that.

Impressive victory. He was clocked and he almost got submitted and still got the victory.

what's the over/under on fights left on CB Dalloway's career in the UFC? 2? 3?

Dana likes him and he's pretty young so he's most likely going to still improve not to mention he won't be fighting top top notch competition for awhile yet still.

Rampage did look poor during that fight, but Forrest did take a devasting uppercut on the button during the first round. Evans reminds me of a Pride version of Rampage just significantly weaker with poor GnP. I just don't think his hands are developed enough and I doubt he can grind his way to a decision. We'll see though.

He can't too weak he can hold his own against HW's and Tito.
 
Sooooo glad I didn't bet on Reese. Hammil landed some Tyson-like liver shots.

Didn't say he was weak said he looks weaker than Rampage looked in Pride, whom would lift opponents over his head several times a match and actually stuffed every one of Randleman's takedowns. I think Rashad is strong just not compared to Page.
 
I picked Big Nog like any sane person would but I sort of have this weird feeling like an upset could happen.


lol at UFC pimping their game.
