rampage all the way, unless he catches a lucky haymaker. Forrest doesnt deserve this fight.

Ryan - From what I’ve read the channel is brand new and this will be the first major event in HD. I read somewhere it’s only going to be on DirecTV to start but we’ll see soon enough.

Forrest doesn’t deserve this fight? Did you not see what Shogun did to Rampage? It wasn’t even a fight. He completely destroyed Rampage. And forrest outclassed him for 14 minutes and then submitted him. And aside from the loss he has to Jardine (who just beat Chuck Liddell) Forrest has beaten a lot of good opponents, not to mention that his split decision loss to Tito was a load of crap. And I still think that given a rematch Forrest beats Jardine 9 outta 10 times. His striking is WAY more crisp. He just got caught with a good punch. Anyhow I have forrest winning this fight by UD.

Wow pass that stuff this way homey. Do you know that shogun fight was 3 years ago,he broke a rib early in the fight, which to any fighter isnt good. The only top fighters Forrest has been in the ring with are: Shogun,Jardine,and Tito. Hes no champion material. You have to fight the best to be the best. Yea hes fought Horn, but who hasnt, and he lost to him. lol. Bonnar, hes weak, old and on steriods, boldenone to be exact.
