Opie Taylor bought his fight with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, so if he has enough left he might can go to the cards with "Suga"?

It's not like Forrest couldn't have been scored as winning the fight with Rampage. Granted, I had Rampage winning as well, but it was pretty close and I wasn't overly upset with the decision. Forrest ripped his leg apart IIRC. Some people, often included judges, seem to weigh arm strikes more than leg, but take that factor out and I think Forrest held his own alright.

I honestly didn't think if was as great of a fight as people portrayed it as.

Not to put words in his mouth, but my interpretation is he's implying it was a bad or even corrupt decision (Forrest Griffin vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson).

Thats a big 10-04 Mike in TN, I did not feel this way until about the late 80's UFC showdowns so I hope this Dec. 27th they will change my mind?

I totally agree. It was a bad decision.

Great fight, both guys have a chance to really build a serious legacy. I think Evans wins but I would never put money on it. I could also see Forrest willing his way to victory

I rewatched that fight recently. I say Rampage got robbed. I say Forrest only won one round without dispute and Rampage won two without dispute, one was even and one could have benn argued for either fighter, but it was more Rampages round. It was 3-2 Rampage, IMO.

It's either Forrest winning by shear will or Rashad by knockout.

I agree.

It's Forrest winning a boring decision by being active and lay-n-pray or Rashad by thunderous KO.
