Rampage Article
Rampage Article
http://www.espn.co.uk/ufc/sport/story/29117.html?CMP=OTC-RSS
Kind of a funny article from ESPN UK, would like to see Rampage wear his snuggie to an after party.
The question I have is what IF Forrest wins in the rematch? It proves the first win wasn't a fluke but as far as the standings not sure he would be bumped up to an immediate title fight. Kind of seems that if Rampage and Forrest fight again, Forrest should make it in his contract that he gets a title shot. All a mute point because I don't see him winning but weirder things have happened.

GSP vs Spider
GSP vs Spider
Sorry if these stories are old news and you guys have seen but thought this was interesting also:

"It starts to get to the point where I'm like, 'I guess if everybody wants to see this fight, maybe we make this fight." Quote from Dana to end the article
Since GSP only fights twice a year, it will be at least 2012 before this happens. I'm definitely in the camp to have each title holder fight 3 times per year, barring injury.

Fedor not a fan of UFC. :mj07:
Ya don't say.
The over/under on Dana to fire back with a childish comment is 12 hours although I am sure he already has.
Fedor/Werdum is huge. Bigger than Brock/Carwin so says Fedor.
Fedor hits Kickserv with a suck on that. :142smilie

No LIVE Baroni at UFC118. Weinerdog on suicide watch.

I am sure he will be on the Spike card as a filler unless his fight totally sucks which I doubt it will.
I may have to avoid the early results. I like the unexpected when watching the NY BADASS.

At least he was given a bonus in leaving.
Here is your staph infection, now hit the door.

I think this is a bad move by the UFC. Jardine could fight on a couple undercards against up and comers. He's fought some very tough guys and it wasn't like he got KTFO in all of them. Oh well. I guess he can go to Strikeforce and fight for the title in his first fight, :mj07:.
Yea no shit. Not sure I would have took that fight if I were him. I do agree though they should have kept him, not as if he was fighting terrible fighters plus it is a stepping stone so to speak for those to train for an unorthodox style.

Jardine was stuck as to what he should do.
If he drops out of the fight then he would have been shown the door.
His only chance to stay in the UFC was to fight and win.

i thought gomi had excellent value at around +200 vs stevenson....
