After Forest hurt the knee it was in his favor all night. Just look at the limping and protection of if in rds 2-4 and then the lack of any power in the punches (compared to what is needed to take Froest out) in the 4th and 5th rounds. Simply, that injury cost Rampage the fight.

The upside, it was a solid fight and I'm glad it wasn't a 30 seconds and done knock out. These guys are still healthy and will fight each other again, you can bank on that.

Agreed.

I think they should both hopefully fight right away again soon because if you think about it both of these guys have been out of action for 8-9 months I wouldn't mind seeing them a bit less rusty because I believe Rampage said he was never taking 9 months off again.

too bad for rampage... i really like his entrance style and his look in the ring, so bloody fierce ...

I've only seen 2 of Rampage's fights and he remind me of the Junk Yard Dog...i want to see him pull off the dreaded head butt on all fours...that would be awesome!

I watched this fight and as soon as it was over me and all my friends declared Forrest the new Champ. No doubt in our minds he had won. This comes from a group of guys who are Rampage fans.

I think that Rampage took round one after the knockdown, Forrest definetely took round 2 (10-8). The third it was close, but I think Forrest did a little bit more. Round 4 went to Rampage and the 5th again to Forrest.

I think the only round that could have gone either way was the 3rd, but for people to say Rampage got robbed is way too harsh. Worst case scenario for Forrest, it was a tie 47-47. All in all Forrest did the most damage and he had octagon control for most of the fight.

These are the stats for those who are curious:

Rampage:
Low % strikes - 29
High % strikes - 44
Head - 46
Body - 24
Legs - 3
TOTAL - 73

Forrest:
Low % strikes - 73
High % strikes - 40
Head - 58
Body - 20
Legs - 35
Total - 113

Overall Forrest did way more.
