I thought Rampage had it but it was a really close fight, Matt Lindand is phenomenal though, If he could still make 185 I think he'd dominate the UFC Middleweights.

The first round was close until Lindland got his back and almost got that choke. Rampage reversed it nicely though. I give round 1 to Lindland 10-9.

Lol anyone notice Lindland bitch-slap Rampage at 4:31 in round 2? After that though it was mostly Rampage IMO. He had a nice slam, some nice body shots and a nice judo throw. Lindland had some nice reversals, but didn't really accomplish anything. I gave round 2 to Rampage 10-9.

The third round was the hardest to call. While Rampage cut Lindland nicely and did a little damage Lindland had Rampage in the guillotine for a bit. I think Rampage's flurry in the last few seconds is what won it for him. Most judges dote on that moment. I give 3 to Rampage 10-9.

I'm a big Rampage fan but this was a good fight and I wouldn't have disagreed too much if Lindland pulled out a decision. I just think Rampage did a little more damage, had few more slams, and controlled the fight a little more. Lindland had a good gameplan in trying to keep it on the fence so Rampage couldn't utilize his hands. If it were a wrestling match Lindland would have won.
