Yeah Forest fought great. Totally outsmarted Rampage and took out his left leg with vicious leg kicks.

Can't wait to see Forrest/Machida go at it.

I don't think forrest will be holding the belt for long. He surprised me with Rampage but I think rampage underestimated him. in a rematch he would not make the same mistake. with Anderson Silva entering the 205 class, they all have new worries in my opinion.

Well that and people need to stop avoiding a fight with Machida.

I actually wouldn't mind if Forrest held the belt for a while... he's a good guy. I definitely don't want to see Chuck as title holder again hahaha

[Inky]

yeah forrest is a good guy, always has exciting fights. but He's not a finisher. if rampage gets a rematch he'll get it back. if machida gets a shot he'll take it. one thing is Dana likes the idea of his first ultimate fighter being the champ so forrest might get some chump fights first to drum up publicity. plus whats anderson silva gonna be like at 205? if his chin is up to the power in the 205 division then I doubt anyone can stop him.

Rumor has it that if Chuck can get past Rashad Evans then he's going to get a huge money-making title shot.

[Fatal Rose]

Machida is supposedly fighting Thiago Silva next. If he can get back Thiago, UFC HAS to give him a title shot if they want to maintain credibility.

I don't think chuck is gonna get past rashad. since his string of losses he's not the same. rashad is on his way up. chuck is on his way to where ever tito is now lol.

First post edited.

 

Rumor is Lyoto is either fighting Thiago Silva or Quinton Jackson next.

doesn't look like Rampage will be getting a rematch anytime soon

from TMZ:

As TMZ first reported, the just-defeated UFC champ was busted this afternoon for alleged felony hit and run. Now we have the details -- and they're insane! Rampage was on the 55 Freeway in the O.C., hit two cars and got off the freeway. The chase was on.

 

Rampage then began driving on the center divider. But it gets worse. According to the police report, Jackson then drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee for their lives." He started driving the wrong way on a crowded street, colliding with yet another car in an intersection. As he continued on, running several red lights, his tire disintegrated and he began driving on the rim.

 

Rampage eventually got to the exclusive Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, where he again drove on the sidewalk, "causing pedestrians to flee in terror."

 

Eventually, his car came to a stop and he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Cops took him to the Orange County Jail, but they determined he was "medically unfit" to be booked. Cops won't say if he was high.

 

Rampage is currently in an O.C. hospital.

Yeah I read that over at Sherdog.com

Looks like Lyoto will for sure be fighting Page.

The Return of The Dragon – Machida vs Silva at UFC 89

Unbeaten light heavyweight sensation Lyoto ‘The Dragon’ Machida will look to keep the momentum going from his May victory over Tito Ortiz when he returns to the Octagon to face fellow unbeaten (and fellow Brazilian) Thiago Silva in what should be an explosive clash on October 18th’s UFC 89 card at The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England. Tickets are on sale now, but are going fast!
