I don't know whether to admire his moxy or question his sanity. Either way here's an interesting piece from the guardian website today

(DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE RESULTS OF SATURDAY'S FIGHT!)

Just wanna warn people that there is a spoiler in that article for the Jackson v Griffon fight, so don't read it if you haven't seen the fight yet.

Hes not wrong here

What crap? Forrest v Rampage was brilliant. Stevenson v Tibau was excellent, Tyson Griffin impressed, Almeida v Cote was boring and Koscheck Lytle was exciting watchin how tough Lytle is and the excellent control technique of Koscheck whose half mount was so awesome it looked like a full mount.

U can do a lot worse than that. Theres more to MMA than two dudes swinging wildly trying to take each others heads off.

Forrest vs Rampge was good, certainly not brilliant. 2nd round was the best but other than that it was a poor kickboxing match

Tyson Griffin is over rated and very awkward

Koshceck Lytle was pretty good

Almeida vs Cote proved that you need an all round game to be a great fighter but can still be one dimensional and a good fighter

Stevenson v Tibau was the best fight of the night for me. It ended too soon!!

IMO this UFC was pretty poor. although i did stay up till 5.50 watching

Em, Rampages headmovement and blocking is awesome and Forrests use of leg kicks was very good. Poor kickboxing my @rse.


the fight went back and forward with big offence landed by both man and very little stalling in the clinch or on the ground, you're just being greedy askin for more.

He may be over rated but he just beat a top contender in Aurelio who beat Gomi dont forget. His takedown defence and sub defence was great. Also his cardio is unreal. i enjoyed watchin him.

Agree.

t was boring but I found it fascinating watching both stick strictly to their gameplans and neither change it up. Almeida's ground and pound was unreal though.

Agreed, it was great, but Rampage Forrest was better!

As the title suggests I'd like to make a massive apology to everyone for not putting a spoiler warning on that post. I just plain didn't think of it. Hope I didn't ruin it for anyone.

Nothingcompares

In fairness the event is 2 days old, if you don't want the result spoiled at this stage, stay off the websites.

not as enjoyable as previous events , but still a 5 round title match had me on the edge of my seat, so wanted forest to win it, gotta love the Lytle fight when they got stood up in the 3rd i though the ref was calling it, but no !!!lytle stood there covered in blood, wobbling and still gave it some more he was well beated but got to admire the heart he showed.

Off topic has anyone checked out strikeforce? you can see streams on nbcsports.com standard is pretty good and one guy chug le i think he's called puts on a hell of a show , guy has some serious moves.
