Yeah I do not see how the judges gave every round but 1 to Griffin. Seriously, how did Rampage only win 1 round? I think it was total crap they gave Forrest the round because of his triangle choke that was "close" to ending the match. Horse poo, Rampage was in no danger, could have been, but was not.

TUF ratings must be falling.

Good win by Forrest though. Let's see how he fairs against his next opponent.

Good job on Forrest. I think on the 2nd round they gave it to Griffin 10-8. Forrest dominated Rampage in that round. What's next for Griffin?

Maybe it was the 9 months lay off for Rampage...?

[Kensei]

his next fight will either answer some questions or show that Rampage was maybe on the recieving end of a steal.

So Forrest faces winner of Chuck vs. Rashad?

[GrappleorWrestle]

Acording to Dave Meltzer

Adalaide Byrd who scored it 48-46, gave 4 and 5 to Jackson and Griffin 1, 2 and 3 with 2 as 10-8

Nelson Hamilton had it 48-46 with 1 and 4 for Jackson, and Griffin getting 2 10-8

Roy Silbert had it 49-46 with only round 4 for Jackson.

Round 1 definately was Jackson's!!!! Byrd and Silbert got that one wrong!

So I guess this means Juanito is retiring now.

[Gurre]

this is a disgrase. The judges don't know what they are doing

[ad baculam]

At least one round should have gone to Jackson. I thought that he won two rounds.

[Gurre]

In my eyes Jackson won round 1, 3, 4.

Griffin won round 2 by a 10-8 and he won round 5.

that's a draw....

That's how I had it. But what can you do? I am guessing that's why Forrest was kindly enough to actually state it was too close and they need to do it again.

While somewhat off topic, but not much so:

From MMAWeekly:

Found this on MMAWeekly:


"Three years ago, Forrest Griffin fought Stephan Bonnar in what is widely regarded as the most significant fight in mixed martial arts history. On Saturday night, Griffin was part of another significant fight, wresting the UFC light heavyweight championship away from Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.



It won’t shift the course of the sport the way that the inaugural Ultimate Fighter Finale did, but Griffin’s title win does shine a glaring spotlight on the impact of the reality series."

Apparently Dana is pushing TUF even more now.

[Gurre]

I hate Dana even more now...

Eh, IMO if Jackson let someone like Griffin take it to a controvercial decision, he deserved to lose. Rampage underestimated Griffin and paid the ultimate price. Lost to fucking low kicks. Thats what happens when you train boxing with guys like Ibbara to much, your kicks and knees defense and wrestling turns to shit. Rampages head movement in the exchanges was spectacular though it wont cut it in MMA.

[fatbear]

In the later rounds Rampage did show some evasiveness and avoided many of the low kicks. That may have deterred Griffin from throwing those low kicks at all in the later rounds. This is just pure speculation though.

Rampage turned into a boxer and Forrest into a Thai boxer....Thai boxer has leg kicks, Rampage did not counter them well......Rampage needs a better coach and Forrest needs to make sure he is ready for a quick rematch!
