I just dont know whos going to take this one. Forrest has a “never die”attitude but rampage is just rampage. I think it it goes to the ground rampage will get it via GnP. If it stays standing, i really dont know. I would like to see Forrest win though.

Sergio…that is seriously funny

I love your phonetic spelling of ‘H’andy for those who are still unfamiliar with the Brasilian ‘R’ sound. I too skimed and had Mr Morgan not made the point, I would have never seen the unintentional comedy of this interview. Thanks Capt’n Morgan!

…”These factors become the fight more attractive.”

That’s a classic!

Let me add my own please… “Forrest large ears deflect well Rampage the strength punch!”

Fatal Error: I had no idea what you were talking about because when I read snippets of interviews like this, I only skim and catch the key words: stand-up, wrestling, heavy hands, etc.

Upon re-reading it, it does sound like it’s Couture’s illegitimate Brazilian half-brother, Handy.

Was this article translated from English to Japanese and back? I can’t believe Randy gave an interview that sounded like that. It was like he was trying to talk in a foreign language after a 15 minute sparring session.

Ways Forrest can win:

1. Rampage gasses in 4 or 5 and Forrest gets a sub.
2. Forrest cuts him with an elbow or accidental head butt and gets a stoppage.
3. Forrest hangs around in a close fight (stays outside, gets up when taken down without getting his ass beat too badly, makes a good sub attempt or two) and gets a controversial split decision.

I’d say Rampage is about a 10 to 1 favorite. But all you need is a one, and it will be interesting to see if Rudy can take down the Notre Dame lineman. This would be a bigger upset than Serra GSP in my opinion.

mma is very unpredictable sometimes. i wouldnt be surprised if griffin wins. remember randy picked gonzaga over mirko and some other upsets, and hes been pretty consistent with the main event picks.

Assuming Jackson has been training as hard as he did for Liddell and Henderson (where he held up well for the full five rounds), he will be tough to beat. Maybe he’s got a weakness that only Forrest knows about…

Forrest has a chance if he can keep the fight at a distance. I know his ground game has improved dramatically but Rampage is a freakishly strong guy who can power his way out of sticky situations. If Rampage starts to close the distance, forrest is in trouble becuz Rampage has the better hands. Also, he doesn’t want Jax on top of him. He may not be able to get out from under him.

Forrest has a chance to win, but Rampage has a punch that can KO anyone if it connects well. If Forrest catches the full brunt of it, he will go down.

But how he can win, is by limiting the range, getting in close and pressing Rampage against the cage, engaging in knees, footstomps, and dirty boxing. If he can wear him down, Forrest has a chance to beat Rampage in the later rounds. But he has to get there, first.

Forrest is a pretty smart guy, and I thnk he knows the dangers very well.
