Roy Silbert needs to be fired.

I watched it again and I have it either 48-46 or 48-4 for Forrest depending on whether or not he did enough damage in Round 2 to justify a 10-8. Aside from that round, I have Forrest winning 3 and 5 with Rampage taking 1 and 4. When I watched it live I gave Round 4 to Forrest because of the triangle attempt but after watching it again I was convinced Rampage won that round.

I originally thought Rampage was close to a 10-8 in Round 1. I also gave him round 4, and could see 5 going either way. I think the only damage Forrest did was in round 2 with the leg kicks and the ground and pound. Overall, I think Rampage did more damage, landed cleaner punches in much greater numbers and I would have given him the fight 48-47. Not giving him round 1 is inexcusable. I don’t see why Dana only holds contests where mma is sanctioned, when the sanctioning bodies can’t seem to hire competent judges.

I’ll be interested to see the FightMetric on this fight.

My prediction is Forrest will have landed more strikes, while Rampage will have landed more power punches, struck with greater accuracy overall. Griffin’s kicks were clearly the difference in this match. But they weren’t nearly as prevalent after round two. He only landed a few of them in the later rounds.

I rarely say things like this, but summing it up…fucking horseshit.

I like both guys, but this left a really bad taste in my mouth. I won’t use terms like fixed, but incompetent is fair game. These judges should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I don’t blame the UFC for the judging and will not bash them at all, though the card was not very entertaining.

Rd. 1 Clearly Rampage. Just as technical striking, with much more effective shots.

Rd. 2 Clearly Forrest. That leg kick hurt me, lol. And I’m sorry, but what damage did he do to deserve a 10-8 round? The only effective strike was the one leg kick. Yes he dominated the position on the ground, but he landed nothing damaging at all.

Rd. 3 Rampage. Again, far more effective blows. And for anyone that says Forrest was the aggressor in this fight, I say BS! They were equally aggressive, even on a bad leg for Rampage. The difference I saw, was whenever Jackson landed effective shots, Forrest ran away. Not that i blame him, but how does that make him the aggressor??

Rd. 4 Rampage. Same as Rd. 3

Rd. 5 Either one. I saw it as Rampage, but I have no problem with scoring it for Forrest.

So I have it 4-1 for Rampage, but 3-2 is acceptable. NO NO NO 10-8 round. Damn, for 10-8 you need to beat the shit out of the other guy, not even close imo. Look at them after the fight. Rampage looked exactly like he did before the fight and Forrest looked like he got run over by a truck (sorry Big Nog).

Again, I don’t blame the UFC, and I give Forrest credit for fighting a pretty good fight, but he didn’t win. Many more decisions like this, and I will definitely be put off some. Between people I watched with and talked to after the fight, which was about 20, NOT A SINGLE ONE even had this as a close fight. Congrats to Forrest, but this is by far the worst decision I have seen in the UFC.

One more thing.

Am I the only one freakin’ sick of Rogan’s love for Eddie Bravo? I know most of the card was less than stellar and put more focus on the announcers, but I am sick of hearing Joe use Bravo’s terms all the time, over and over. Don’t get me wrong, I like Joe, but tonight had to have been one of his worst performances.

And Goldy really was awful. Other than the guy on Iron Ring, he must be the least knowledgeable announcer out there. Did he have a sheet of stupid questions he was reading off of tonight?

Usually Joe is pretty good and Goldy is bearable, but they were way off their game tonight, imo.

First off I and the other people I was watching this fight could not believe the decision that being said if the judges all scored the fight the same I would still be pissed but I could see it up these score cards make me that much more mad ! What fight were the Judges watching how could they be so far apart on the same fight. IT seems like every other show in all of MMA UFC,Dreams,Elite XC,etc we get a horrible decision like this. Something has to be done or some one has to teach these judges about MMA !!! The old 10-9 scoring system that was ceated for boxing should not be in MMA, At best that fight should of been a Draw at best I would still have uestions about that ??? UNREAL

No BJ you are not the only one sick of Joe Rogan aqnd his total bias towards some fighters. It makes me sick !!! I have to watch the fights sometimes now no shit with the vloume off becasue I can’t stand his comintating that much, It horrible braodcasting how much favortism he shows at times.

Everyone forgot that Rampage said that Forrest whooped his ass. This is right after the fight.
