| anyone think forrest can take this one
i know it's real doubtful but i think if forrest isn't ktfo quickly then he stands a chance to take this one. bear with me here, he can take a decent amount of damage and he submited shogun so he's got subs and after he takes a few punches(which he will)he seems to fight harder. again don't flame or neg me it's just an opinion. i think it could go either way.it is a really stacked division so QUESTION 1-who takes this fight? QUESTION 2- if rampage wins who has the best shot at his belt? i got machida if he wins another fight:headscratch:

This will be a better fight than most people think, Rampage will win but Forrest has heart like I've never seen. Rampage has just fought tougher opponents and has the experience edge. Forrest just hasnt faced the competition that rampage has, yah you can say he beat shogun who has defeated rampage, but like rampage said you could tell something was wrong with shogun in that fight with forrest. I think it will be a good fight with rampage winning 2nd round TKO. I think if liddel KO's evans he should get his last shot at the title before he retires. Machida is good but he hasnt been in the UFC for very long with wins over soko, and washed up tito. He has to fight a top 5 guy first.

Forrest if going to get handled imo. But you never know. I thought Shogun was going to own him and he ended up getting choked out.

I don't think Forrest can wis this one and I hope he loses.
He always has a stupid smirk on his face, his win against Shogun is very similar to Serra's win over GSP, he punches like a crackhead and he cries after he gets knocked out.   |

I think Page is the most likely champ to be dethroned, and I'm rooting for Forrest, but I don't think he has the right tools. It'll be a hell of a fight though.

I don't hate him or anything he can put on a great fight I just think he's overrated and I hope he looses.

But on a serious note, i have learned to never underestimate any fighter because anything can happen in the fight game. I actually give Forrest a better shot at winning than most people give him.

I just feel like it's a cocky "I made the UFC popular, I can take so much punishment, I beat Shogun type of smile". He isn't a top level competitor and he has a false sense of confidence that breaks down when he loses.

You can't ever count Forest out. He's pretty durable.

He may not be the best, but he fucking brings it every time. Great reason not to like someone - because of his smile. While we're at it, maybe you don't like his haircut or his shorts or something. What a bunch of shit. Yeah, he acts like he created the UFC... WTF are you talking about. He beat Shogun because he hung around in the fight and outlasted him. How cocky of him.
