Oh fuck. Tyson Griffin! I didn't know he was fighting. He's always entertaining. Hopefully we'll get to see that.

Tyson, Kosh, Stevenson, Almeida and Quinton for me.

Still better than youtubing it before the Bravo airing the following night.

Well in Setanta for showing the American shows now.

[CHUCK LIDELOL]

Yep, well I usually come home wrecked and watch on a stream or something. This is clearly far better.

PPV as a whole was a bit poor.

Loved the main event, Rampage didnt look interested atall though. Full credit to Griffin, played it smart.

I hate that punk Koscheck. 5 years after the ultimate fighter and he hasn't changed his game atall.

Aye Rampage didn't look himself at all, he didn't look as pumped as he was in the Chuck/Hendo fight. Gutted he lost, but it's his own fault for not checking those kicks at the start.

Disagree slightly on Koscheck though, he's got a LOT better. Altough i agree that he comes across as a bit of a dick.

[Nuff]

I thought the judges got it right in the main event. It was close but I felt Forrest did just enough to get the nod.

[CHUCK LIDELOL]

Kosh has improved a lot. He had a good fight a few months ago, ended with a fly kick basically. Good stuff. Still a dick.

PPV wasn't great, nah. That's the nature of the game I guess. Rampage-Forrest fight was amazing. Good atmosphere. Rampage looked like a ghoul.

[Syxx]

Do you think that the leg kicks were a big factor in that fight?

"Naw, he just whooped my ass"


Brilliant fight, and i felt like the only fucker that backed Griffin. Rampage looked bored though. The curse of the LHW Title?

[Moldiver]

Aye Rampage didn't look the same as he has in past fights. Pissed off that Rampage lost but still ok with the fact Forrest is the new champ......i wonder how long it will last and i can see a year end re-match with rampage taking the belt back.

[Dyno]

Rampage underestimated Forrest, which is a shame cause I would have liked to have seen Rampage destroy him, like he should have if he tried.

[Moldiver]

Yeah suppose he did but Rampage just didn't seem hungry for the fight. He came in looking pumped but after the first round it just seemed to dissapear, although he still had great dominance in the punches just ashame they didn't fully connect.

When i saw Rampge not doing much when he was monuted i thought he was resting his leg as he said later on.

I think if he had made more of an effort to get out of the mount and bring it back to standing he might of had a chance to win, but ultimatly could have got caught in the leg again and ended the fight early

Forrest did fight the smart fight, taking away rampage's legs stopped him from getting full power from his punches also from puting wait onto his legs when going for the shoot or the slam, smart gameplan that paid off.
