I don’t know why all the contributors to this website and some of the other’s I’ve been reading are saying Rampage’s standup is hands-down better than Griffin’s. Forest has some good boxing technique and his jab with those long arms is a very good. He likes to throw those combo’s then dance out of range.

If this was a 3-round fight he could very easily pepper Rampage from outside for 3 rounds and get enough points for the decision. (Not to mention throwing in a Couture-schooled surprise takedown every once in a while!)

Granted, in 5 rounds Rampage will get the opportunity to finish Forest and I’m picking Rampage to win, but I’d say Forest’s standup is equal to Rampage’s, and if Forest can stay off his back he’ll be in this fight until the end.

I’d say Rampage has to be looking to take this fight to the ground at some point.

No need to be surprised as Dana has already said they will get a shot after Silva/Okami at 88

He gameplans for himself, yes, but has never been some wunderkind for other fighters. Whereas, that’s all Juanito does, so that argument is seriously lacking.

“Forrest Griffin and Rampage Jackson are somewhat similar fighters. They are both looking to stand. Neither is looking to be overly technical, and neither is likely to lock in a submission”

Who are you talking about, Quinlin Rampage Johnson and Forrest Gump? Rampage is one of the most technical of strikers next to A Silva and Forrest’s only way to win is via sub. BTW, QRJ has only been submitted once, by Saku, in a fight we all know the BS behind, unless you started watching MMA at TUF 2.

QRJ by Slam then GnP round uno.

Almeda > Cote: By whatever he wants, whenever he wants

Maximus > Tyson: Submission, 1st round. Tyson should drop to 145.

Tibau > Daddy: ‘Daddy’ is the most overrated guy ever? Wins over Guillard and Pellegrino and Guillard and makes u a title challenger? WTF. Guess Nate Diaz should expect his shot at BJ soon.

Kos > Lytle: Kos is better….I got nothing..

All the prelims are crap. Hope Gonzaga worked on his cardio and actually has a decent fight.

Rampage TKO 2Rd 3rd min. I really want Forrest to win but all things considered I’m not sure how he can.

Almeida Sub(arm) 2Rd 4th min.

Stevenson UD
Kos UD
Tyson Griffin UD
Gonzaga TKO 1Rd 3rd min.
Cole Miller Sub(choke) 3rd round 3rd min.
Melvin TKO 1st round 3rd min.

I’m really pulling for Forrest but I have to pick Rampage.

Lytle by ko in round one.
