I would love to see a Rampage vs Forrest #2 and would love to see Rampage KO Forrest…

Forrest seems like a nice guy, but I can NOT stand his excessive leg kicks and his cheesy / evasive fighting style. Yah, I know some of you who have a huge mancrush on Forrest are going to be angry, but I loved it when guys like Keith Jardine and Rashad Evans did some serious G&P and KO’d Forrest. Forrest reminds me a little of Machida. Machida is another annoying/boring fighter and I can’t wait to see Machida get KO’d. Both Forrest and Machida should wear skirts when they fight!!

These statements just don’t make any sense. First of all, after Rampage lost the title to Forrest, he got into all the legal entanglements that resulted from his truck driving “rampage”, and some considered that he might never fight again. Would this have been the time to have Forrest call him out? Seriously.

Further, Forrest doesn’t make the matches, he simply takes the matches. Perhaps he can tell Dana White et. al. he would like to fight Rampage again, but if they say “No, you’ll fight fighter X first” then that’s is who he will be fighting, case closed.

I like Rampage, but these statements really don’t make any sense to me.

Rampage lost respect for forest as a man? what a nut! I wonder if forest lost any respect for him when he saw how he portrayed UFC fighters all over the news when he threw a tantrum! Fights are won and lost, suck it up! Of course Page wants a rematch! There’s way too much good competition at 205 to be handing out rematches! especially with title holders! I hope for Rampage’s sake that article was takin out of context….It makes him look like a sore loser…

Best 205er? GIVE ME A BREAK, hes basically a black Ortiz, all power, NO TECHNIQUE. You know which fight I would really like to see other than Shogun making his face into hamburger meat? the Wand knocking his face into hamburger meat. But knowing Rampage hed just drop his team, blame it on something and keep running that mouth of his, which has NO RIGHT. Oh and crash into 20 cars. With Dana White whiping his ass. UFC is so biased its disgusting man, I miss PRIDE

Oh and even more respect would be lossed to Quinton after the stunt he pulled with his mad truck driving skills. He needs to get over himself. I’ve lost more respect for Quinton as a man for what he has done in comparison to Forrest not saying there should be an immediate rematch. Think of what you’re saying Quinton Rampage Jackson.

Rampage needs to let it go. If the UFC wants them to rematch the UFC will have it that way. This is why you never let a fight go to decision. I like Rampage but he said that if their fight went to decision then he would give Forrest his winnings. Guaranteed that enver happened. If I were Forrest I would immediately lose respect to Rampage if he didn’t pay me after that comment.

The other side of the “gotta beat the champ” argument is that maybe the champ should have beat the challenger? Rampage had a golden opportunity to finish Griffin and couldn’t; the fight could have gone either way but Griffin deserved it.

To say that he’s “lost respect for Griffin” is just asinine. Griffin hasn’t been beating the drum for anyone as of late; he’s been so low key since he won the strap I’m wondering where he is!

IMO, Griffin should give the next shot to Machida. Rampage can rack up a couple more wins before he gets his rematch for all I care – the LHW division was on hold for too long because of Rampage and Griffin’s injuries and the filming of TUF, so I’d like to see it move on with new blood in line for the belt.

The old addage that you have to beat the champion to win the belt is stupid. So if Forrest Griffin won in points by the end of the fight, they’re gonna tell him that he may have won more points (which means he was the agressor in the fight and basically outclassed Rampage), he didn’t knock him out or tap him so he’s not champion? Please…nobody questioned it when Randy Couture didn’t finish Tim Sylvia.

And I seem to remember in the post fight interview…”Even though I don’t really want to because he hits so hard, I think we need to do it again…” -Forrest Griffin

Rampage needs to take time off & let his legal troubles settle down before commenting & coming back. This is just more proof of it. Listen to UFC’s PR department Rampage.
