He wasn't my friend he was my cousins friend.
When Rampage knocked him down he kept screaming it's over it's over.
Just one more shot and it's over!!!!
I thought Griffin was fighting the wrong fight trying to go toe to toe.
But hell he pulled it off.

As the scores were being announced he was pretty confident that since Rampage was the champ that he would either get the close knod or a Draw.
He was dissapointed and got pretty drunk, I immidiately left when the fight was over.

But he has adapted his style in recent fights. He used to just go toe to toe and slug it out but since his KO loss to Jardine he's been fighting a lot smarter.

I wouldn't have given him any chance had he not stunned everyone by stopping Shogun who came to the UFC expecting to be the next UFC champ.

You had to respect Forrest after that fight but even so I didn't really think he'd be able to beat Rampage who had dominated two straigh all time greats in Liddel and Henderson.

I imagine they will get a rematch on and really it's a 50/50 fight imo.

Forrest is better than Rampage on the ground and those leg kicks were sick, but Rampage has much more power and if he lands it's good night Forrest Griffin.

I'm not sure Griffin could manage to stay away from him 10 full rounds though so I'll say Rampage KO's him in the rematch to set up a trilogy.

Great win for Forrest though and he's one of the most likeable fighters in either MMA or boxing so I'm pleased for him.

Rampage showed how to take defeat with pure class, still smiling and admitting that he got his ass whupped, I must admit I'm a huge Rampage fan, he must be one hell of an uplifting and fun guy to be around.

He's one of the few good looking, rich, ultra successful, heavily fancied and muscular men that I don't envy and want to see get kicked into the ground.

He manages to still be likeable even to someone as naturally bitter and jealous as I am
Good stuff Bilbo...
For some reason I think Griffins got Rampages number and I'd favor Grifffin in a rematch.

Hey Mick,Did you catch the Torres/Holt fight at all?Thats was one to see live for sure .Don't blink!

Also,Griffin and Jackson have more Skill in there profession than the 'wanna be' Kimbo could ever dream of from what Ive seen.
We did see the Holt vs. Torres fight.
I switched it to the Showtime channel as Griffin was walking in.
Fight only lasted as long as the walk ins...

Everyone went crazy there at the house...
