Doesn’t anybody fucking shave before these things anymore?
The graphic on Griffin’s and Rampage’s is stupid! I am angry just thinking about it.
i think they were gonna put the graphics on their foreheads…but changed their minds at the last minute in case someone complained about that. i guess you cant please everyone!
I think the loser of the fight should have to get a tattoo on their face. Saying loser in that exact spot.
This fight is gonna be insane!!! I think that Griffin is gonna somehow pull out a decision with the gameplan Couture devises.
You have got to be KIDDING ME! How can griffin outlast Rampage’s punching power.. Rampage spent 25 minutes trading with Hendo, took some huge shots and lasted 25 minutes wrestling. Rampage is on a completely different level. I cannot see Griffin winning this at all. I like Griffin a lot but I cannot see Rampage loosing this fight. The only reason Forest beat Shogun is because he had a torn knee and it held him back. I can only see this going 1 way. Rampage HUGE KO 2nd Round…. MAX..
This fight will be so 1 sided its not even funny! The UFC better add a competitive co-main event to this card!
I am a HUGE RAMPAGE fan, so regardless I will be happy to see him give Forrest the beating of his life, but come on already! The Light heavyweight division is the most stacked in the UFC…therefore they should be able to put together competitive championships fights….This will just be an a 1 sided fight where Rampage Slaughters Forrest!
Forrest’s Gameplan: Run Forrest RUN!!!!!
Well Quinton did want an easy one after Hendo. Don’t remember if I heard him say it or saw it in print but apparently he did say it at some point.
Forrest’s head isn’t that much smaller than Rampage’s is it? Rampage’s head is freakin’ enormous.
Also scheduled for UFC 86:
Joe daddy Stevenson vs. tibau
Tyson griffin vs. Maximus
Ben saunders vs. J-roc
If stevenson and Tyson win there fights it could set up a match up between the 2 which would be very exciting
Cant wait for this! Nice poster I think. Rampage is going to destroy Forrest. While I’m a fan of both. I dont see how Forrest can win this.
God damn Rampage has a big head. It looks bigger than Tito’s.
Really how can this go any other way but Rampage KO 2nd Round and I’m being generous. Forest hope your corner brings a box of tissues cause your gonna cry harder than when Jardine KO’d ur ass out.
I can’t believe that Rampage is only a -250 favorite. He WILL KO Forrest in that fight. I’m planning on betting about $1,000 on the fight. The only problem is that once I place that bet on Rampage, Forrest will somehow pull of the biggest upset.
Forrest cannot take Rampage’s best shot (punch, hook specifically). In fact, Forrest can’t even take Rampage’s 156th best shot. However, Rampage can take everything that Forrest has to throw at him. The ONLY way I can see Forrest winning is if he pulls off a decision. However, I do not see him lasting 5 round with Rampage with that chin of his.
Randy will be in his corner, not the octagon. Forrest does listen to his corner very well. But I think that once Rampage rocks him for the first time in thier fight, Forrest will abandon game plan and just try and stand and bang, relatively blindly, like he did against Jardine.
VIOLENTMIKE: Did you get those odds from BetUS? If he is only a -250 favorite, I will be wagering some serious CHEEZ on Rampage! Rampage is going to win me a free vacation this summer if those are the odds on BetUS!!
Rampage’s hooks are devestating, but dont forget his uppercuts. He has some of the best uppercutts in the business. His mut tai has improved leaps and bounds as well. I like his knees! If Forrest try’s to clinch he will get Slamed on his head!
Yeah, that’s what they were a few weeks ago. I just checked, and he is currently -280. I hope the odds don’t keep swaying that way, or I’m going to have to have that money tied up from now until then…
F it! The odds are only going to increase. I am betting big on Rampage right now!
Thanks for the heads up mike!
I don’t know what kind of gameplan they’ll devise at xtreme couture for forrest. He’s not as good a wrestler as henderson and he has nowhere near the power that jackson has. I think his jiu-jitsu might be better but I still can’t see him submitting rampage.
He will not be able to submit Quinton! He wont out wrestle Jackson, which means he probably wont be able to take his back so he wont be ablt to RNC his way to a win.
As a matter of fact I dont think any fighter has ever taken quinton’s back in a fight.
As for Triangle’s and Arm bar’s…..Rampage will just slam his way out of them.
This is a real bad career move for Forrest. After he looses this fight, he needs to get out of the way so Rampage can get some big fights, like Wanderlie, a healthy Shogun, Liddell 3 would be better than Forrest!
I am a fan of Forrest, and I appreciate what he has done for the UFC, but lets be real….He can not hang with Quinton Jackson. This fight will be over before the 3rd round!
hate the poster
i like how they labeled both guy’s faces with champion and challenger for people who didn’t happen to know. thats very helpful. good 1.
coulda bin better “/
im actually tired of talking about this fight. it’s still another fricken 3 months away! i love tuf, but its stalling to many title fights. i dont think it would hurt the shows ratings or the fights ppv sales if they fought during the middle of the tuf season. yes i know this is dana’s fault.
We keep getting closer and closer to my boy Rampage slaughtering the undeserving challenger Forrest Weakchin! I can’t wait!
I really like both of these guys and am cheering for the UNDERDOG. I would love either of these guys as champion, but despite rampage having the best interviews in MMA, I just like Forrest’s attitude. I’m one of few who chose forrest beating Shogun, so if he pulled this off he’d be the upsetter of the millenium. Hope he brings his A-game, he’ll need it.
WAR GRIFFIN
Forrest really has no chance. If he stands and bangs, Rampage is stronger, more technical, and has a better chin. If it goes into the clinch, Rampage again has more power than Forrest, obviously. If it goes to the ground, Rampage clearly has the supirior wrestling. I hope it does go to this, with Forrest trying for a triangle or something. I would LOVE to see Rampage get another powerbomb highlight reel KO.
