THAT DECISION LAST NITE WAS PURE BULLSHIT!!

[David Mack]

Now last nite just proved why MMA judging is bullshit. Now I give Forrest Griffin props he fought a hellava fight and I thought he would've been koed in the 1st and he almost was but he stuck in there and fucked up Rampage's leg. But no way in hell was that a fucken unanimous decision nigga. I mean one fucken judge had it 4 rounds to 1 for forrest now thats some major bullshit rite there. Rampage clearly won rd 1 and 4 while forrest clearly won rd 2. Rd 3 and 5 were close as hell with me maybe giving the slight edge to forrest in rd 5 because he was being a little more aggressive. From watching boxing for the last 20 yrs and MMA for the last 10, the assumption is that if the champion isn't beaten in decisive fashion, the champ should retain. Last nite was not decisive in any way and could have been a draw or a split. Just looks like they holdin a black man down seeing that forrest is they golden boy n'all.

Rampage won that fight...

[David Mack]

Rampage won that fight...

Rampage should have retained. It was bullshit Rogan thought that rd 2 when rampages knee gave out was a 10-8 rd. WTF???
Forrest just layed on him the whole round while rampage was trying to recover. NO way in hell does that constitute a 10-8 rd. I think these bullshit decision are going to be the downfall of MMA because it seems like a blind person could make a better judgement.

[underdog]

rampage won, its just as bad as boxing now

[Fuck Your Existence]

I'm not hatin homie just tellin it how it is. How did forrest clearly win? i"m not saying rampage clearly won either. It could have been a draw. Sure forrest was moving forward and pushing pace but rampage was landing the more effective damaging blows but forrest was throwing more. It's pure convention that if ur gonna beat a champ u have to beat him decisevely or else the champ retains and forrest didn't beat  rampage decisevly at all. All the expert mma sites had rampage winning by one point. here is mmajunkie.com breakdown:

i had forrest winning that shit too....

[eS El Duque]

it's a toss up..but Griffin dominated the second round 10-8...thats fo sure.

I had Jackson winning the 1st and third.......the rest was up in the air

Even with yo input no way that was a decisive enough to warrant a title change. To beat the champ ya really need to beat em convincingly. Rampage should've retained. ya feel me?

[PLANT]

that was bullshit, I thought Rampage won the fight too.

yea, but UFC is trying to get away from that boxing type thinking...Whoever was the best fighter (even if it wasn't that much better) should win. Rampage even said himself "he whooped my ass"

[Tay]

It was very close, but after it was over and the judges said Griffin won, even if it was only by 1 round, they couldn't have figured that it was too close and not enough to get the title. They had to pick a winner, and they can't change it just because it wasn't the defending champion. I do think Jackson should have won 3-2 on rounds, but Griffin fought a more complete fight and accomplished more, just because he slowed it down, had some nice kicks, took it to the ground and avoided the slugfest. Good news is they should fight again, so the rematch will complete the story.
