Ok people I know theres not a lot of us here . But lets here the predictions for tonights fights ?
Gabriel Gonzaga Vs. Justin McCully I am picking Gonzaga to end this one with that mean high kick of his .
Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus Aurelio I like Tyson Griffin that kids tough .
Josh Koscheck Vs. Chris Lytle This is a no brainer . Kos is on the rise and is going to win this one in a viscious ground game .
Joe Stevenson Vs. Gleison Tibau I give this one to Joe "daddy" he got destroyed by Penn and is going to be looking to make a strong showing . I just read an interview and he sounds like he's on a mission.
Patrick Cote Vs. Ricardo Almeida This one is tough for me . I want to say the preditor is going to win but it just has a weird vibe to it , Yet I can't call it for Almeida either.
MAIN EVENT
Quinton "RAMPAGE" Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin
While I believe the underdog has his day I just don't think that Forrests day is july 5th . His win over shogun has given a false sence of hope and chance against the champ. His chin has been exposed before and Jackson has the power to turn off the lights . I think Forrests only chance is to get it to the ground and look for a quick submission in the begining of the 2nd or 3rd round . But until then hes going to have to be on the move engadge and then disengadge with rampage . Keep him moving on his feet to give the fight a striking feel to it before taking it down and going for a tapout .

I agree, Rampage by KO. I also like Cote, daddy, Josh, Marcus, and Gonzaga.
Also, do you know who Roger Huerta is? He's actually a childhood friend of mine and I still talk to him every now and then.
Do you think he's gonna win against Kenny? Roger sounded pretty confident the last time I spoke to him, hopefully he wins.

I think Huerta has the skills to make a solid run at a title . I think he could very possibly take GSP . But he could have troubles if B.J.Penn moves up to welter weight .
 
okay now, every one thinks that forrest is going to get walked all over. well quess what your right.
. going to be a good fight. i have gained a new respect for rampage after this last season of T.U.F.
Gabriel Gonzaga in the second round by tap out..
Josh Koscheck Vs. Chris Lytle. i think its going to be a close fight. could go either way.
Joe Stevenson Vs. Gleison Tibau. the daddy for sure, he is a beast.
Tyson Griffin Vs. Marcus Aurelio
Patrick Cote Vs. Ricardo Almeida.. dont really care which way both fights go.
going to be a good night.

What the F! I honestly didn't see this one coming. Forrest wins! That's what I love about MMA as a sport, it's completely unpredictable.

I wonder if Rampage is going to give Forest his purse since he lost.He say on T.U.F that he would put his purse on it that he would win

He also guaranted it wasn't going to "no decision" too
guess he should have been less worried about trying to get a knock out .
I am not happy with the decision . But thats what happens when you let it go to the judges .

yeah, the scores were crazy. I think it was like 48-46, 48-46, and 49-46. Did these guys watch the same fight I did? It was a lot closer than that IMO.

Yeah I had rampage squeekin out the win .
I honestly didn't feel that forrest pushed the pace and dominated the fight like it was made out to be .
You know Machida just beat tito by the same tactics that rampage lost with . I just think that it was bad judging .
Forrest did mount jackson in the second but the fact he did no damadge would not lead me to score that round a 10/8 . The only real damadge he did was the leg kick .
As I understand it Dana agreed to have a rematch between them already . Maybe an imediate maybe not . I know forest was complaining that he is suffering from back injury and wants to get that healed up before he deffends the title .
