[IC Champion]

Rampage!!!!!

[IC Champion]

"Breaking news: Rampage out with undisclosed injury..."

[Kris P Lettus]

Don;t jinx it bro..

This is make or break for him and this is the perfect match for him.. Glover likes to stand and bang which is Rampage's best shot to end the fight in dramatic fashion..

I hope he wins but he needs to atleast go out banging.. We need UFC 92 Rampage, not UFC 144 Rampage..

[Next Big Thing]

Really looking forward to Pettis v. Cerrone finally going down.

[IC Champion]

This is tailor made for Page, Glover is a limited striker, and I see Rampage countering one of those hooks and turning his lights out. Then he'll call out Chael Sonnen and retire two days later.

[Kris P Lettus]

Really looking forward to Pettis v. Cerrone finally going down.

And also, this..

The undercard is pretty sick too..

Guida :love:

[Krimzon7]

Jesus Christ, this card is amazing.

[MoFo]

lol why are you giving Rampage a shot, the guy is finished and gunshy nowdays

Glover gonna stop him convincingly

[Kris P Lettus]

Rampage Jackson hasn't been finished convincingly since like 2006..

Jon Jones is the only guy to stop him in the UFC.. Only Shogun and Wandy ever KO/TKO'ed him..

[Next Big Thing]

True, but it's been a long ass time since Rampage has gone out and imposed his will on a fighter and really beat the hell out of an opponent. I don't think his heart is in it anymore, while Teixera should be motivated as hell for this opportunity.

[Kris P Lettus]

Ultimate 2008 to be exact..

I'd say even though he is in a decline, his "punchers chance" is greater than most..

[MoFo]

Thats my point, no point being billed as a huge puncher when you haven't iced anyone for years.

The Hamill fight was one of the worst things ever put on PPV....barely a punch thrown.

[Kris P Lettus]

He lost his smile..

Just when I heard "stop him convincingly" I was thinking (T)KO and that hasn't happen since Rampage actually started training MMA with real coaches.. I also didn;t realize that Texiera had 5 subs to his credit..

Even if it is his last fight, I want him to go out swinging..

Chris Lytle style...

[weather vane]

Cowboyyyyyy

[Reavant]

im going to this

[Kris P Lettus]

NICE

Where you sitting??

Rampage looks like he's 25 again..

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I really want to see Dodson beat Mighty Mouse. I just can't get behind Johnson.

[CSL]

it's his ears isn't it

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Yes... and his style.

[Kris P Lettus]

what about his style??

he is prolly the best wrestler and has the sickest takedowns in the division

he is also a beastly striker

[Krimzon7]

Dodson is flashy and brash. I like Mighty Mouse cause he is fucking relentless. He has amazing takedowns/wreslting and some smooth combinations. You won't catch him in any awkward situations.

He can be beat, but you are gonna have to be better to beat him ya know? He's a great champion for the 125 ers.

AMPED FOR THE COWBOY/PETTIS FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

[Kris P Lettus]

Sweet stache on Guida..

[Kris P Lettus]

Kinda bullshit when they don't interview fighters but have the time to show commercials for their next PPV..

[Kris P Lettus]

Glover is scared!!

"I'm in the best shape of my life, I trained hard as fuck for you. I don't like when people say they gonna knock me out, like your boy Chuck did. You're goin' down homie... you don't know what you asked for."

[Kris P Lettus]

Matt Wiman's music is super gay..

[Kris P Lettus]

Grant looked f'n LEGIT

[Krimzon7]

MAN, I wish rampage fighting could still live up to his talking. I almost bought into him kicking the shit out of Texeria. Would love to see him go out like a fucking boss.

[Krimzon7]

AND WE GET....technical difficulties for the intro. So goddamn pumped for the Royal Rum...I mean Pettis/Cerrone

[Kris P Lettus]

I guess Goldberg is not in rehab..

[Krimzon7]

Went to Brazil, got some virus, went to hospital...who hasn't been there before? Gotta use a condom with those lady boys.

[Kris P Lettus]

sick g'n'p

[Krimzon7]

Great finish by Ricardo Lamas.

[Kris P Lettus]

holy shit

[Kris P Lettus]

That cut was spewing blood..

[Kris P Lettus]

[RoXer]

Ew

[Kris P Lettus]

Here's a baseball bat to the solar plexus..

[CSL]

Showtimeeeee

[Krimzon7]

I LOVE PETTIS!!! I also love Cerrone, but got dayum how long are you gonna deny us that fucking rematch Dana?????? GIve us Bendo Pettis part 2!

[Kris P Lettus]

Feel bad for Cerrone.. Before the Diaz fight he was a legit contender for the title now he's on a two fight slide..

[Kris P Lettus]

FUCKING PUMPED FOR QUINTON RAMPAGE JACKSON

[Kris P Lettus]

hope he comes out to the pride music

[MoFo]

That cartwheel thing by Pettis was sick

[Innovator]

TJ Grant might be my new favorite fighter with his entrance music

[Innovator]

Rampaaaaaaaaaaaaaage

[CSL]

TJ Grant might be my new favorite fighter with his entrance music

wut was eeet?

[Innovator]

A little Whitesnake

[Krimzon7]

Cerrone is a Zuffa Lifer. He will NEVER be cut from the UFC. Dana White should get an erection everytime somebody says the name Cerrone around him.

[Innovator]

Rampage's shoulder tatt gave me a day dream for a wwe gimmick of "god's street soldier".

[McLegend]

Rampage is gonna lose isn't he?

[McLegend]

This other guy does kinda look like a jobber though.

[Innovator]

Rampage throwing leg kicks?

[CSL]

lol Rampage going for a little jog after that takedown attempt

[Krimzon7]

Page almost bought the farm in that first round.

[Krimzon7]

Rampage is done...in this fight and in this sport :(

[Kris P Lettus]

rampage needs to blow his wad in this round

[Kris P Lettus]

Rampage is done...in this fight and in this sport :(

Whatever dude..

He'll go make stackers in Bellator just to fight King Mo..

[CSL]

I think his wad is blown given how much we've been seeing his gumshield

[Next Big Thing]

Wish they would stop calling Glover Teixera "kid" are talking about him like he's some young prospect. Dude's like 33.

[CSL]

still hoping he lands a Johnny One Bomb tho

[Next Big Thing]

If Rampage doesn't get stopped, I could definitely see him stealing a decision here.

[Next Big Thing]

Or not.

[Krimzon7]

man, stealing a decision would be the exact terminology too.

[McLegend]

This should a Unaimous decision for this Texira guy 30-27.

Rampage did nothing.

[MoFo]

Was Rampage's best performance since Machida IMO, still not anywhere near winning tho

[CSL]

hey Fox how about those post fight interviews blud

[Next Big Thing]

Love Dodson's personality.

[Kris P Lettus]

this is gonna be a good one

[RoXer]

Hehehehe they're so tiny

[Kris P Lettus]

These dudes are so evenly matched..

[Krimzon7]

holy shit they're quick.

[Krimzon7]

HELLO!!!

[Kris P Lettus]

Dodson's landing clean..

[Krimzon7]

This is a great fight. Dodson is firing DodBOMBS out there.

[Kris P Lettus]

Like he's coaching little league..

lol Rogan

[Next Big Thing]

I've got it even going into the 5th. Maybe a slight edge to D.J. if you give him a 10-8 for that fourth round.

[Kris P Lettus]

Man his transition from striking to the plum to the double leg is amazing..

[Kris P Lettus]

Dodson is tough as nails..

[Kris P Lettus]

That was an awesome fight..

If i dont get Pettis vs Henderson, i'm done with this sport. Just saying...

[Kris P Lettus]

He will get the winner of Benson/Melendez, if he wants to wait until summer to fight again.. It will most likely be his choice..

Anthony Pettis earns title shot, but will have to wait for fight to happen
By Dave Meltzer on Jan 27, 12:30a

After becoming the first person to ever stop Donald Cerrone with strikes, UFC President Dana White said that Anthony Pettis deserves a title shot. But he'll have to wait for the winner to emerge between champion Benson Henderson and Gilbert Melendez in their April 20 encounter.

In 25 MMA fights and 29 professional kickboxing bouts, Donald Cerrone has only been stopped once. And that was via submission, never once by strikes.

On Saturday night at UFC on FOX 6, Anthony Pettis not only finished him with strikes, but did it quickly at just 2:35 into the first round. Pettis ended it with a liver kick after taking Cerrone apart standing up to that point, making the whole thing look easy.

The winner of the fight was expected to be in line for a lightweight title shot. Champion Benson Henderson has been announced as defending his title on UFC on FOX 7, which takes place April 20 in San Jose, Calif., with Strikeforce champion Gilbert Melendez as his opponent.

There are lots of factors that are working to Pettis' advantage. The combination of how impressive Pettis looked with the fact he holds a win against Henderson - and that their previous fight was one of the most memorable fights in modern MMA history - made some wonder if UFC President Dana White was going to second guess the already announced title fight.

Pettis made his case with his fists and feet in the cage as well as his mouth, asking for the shot after the win. According to White, he'll get it, but not right away.

"I think that Melendez is pretty set, but [Pettis is] next," said White. "I can't say enough good things about this guy. He was incredible tonight. His big all-time highlight will be the kick off the fence. Today he was unbelievable. The knee off the fence was unbelievable."

Pettis was in this position once before. When he beat Henderson on Dec. 16, 2010, to become the final WEC lightweight champion, he was told that win would get him the next UFC title shot since WEC was closing down. He got so close that two weeks later, after champion Frankie Edgar retained his title with a draw against Gray Maynard, at the post-fight press conference, it was announced that Edgar and Pettis were meeting next. But barely an hour later, White, with more time to digest what happened in the Edgar vs. Maynard fight, changed his mind. Pettis could have sat and waited, but instead, he took a fight with Clay Guida. He lost that via decision.

In such a talent-rich division, the loss was going to take him out of contention for probably a year or more. That time frame increased when a series of injuries and a staph infection put him out of action since last February.

But Pettis simply denied the ring rust that many were expecting, as he entered the cage like he hadn't lost any timing. "I've been doing tae kwon do since I was five," said Pettis. "If you think about ring rust, you'll probably have it after a year off. Me, I couldn't wait to get back in there."

But he's in no rush to do it again. He learned the lesson of the Guida fight and right now will be happy to watch Henderson vs. Melendez and sit until the winner is ready to face him.

"If it's a guaranteed title shot, I'm waiting," he said. "Winning the title in 2013 is what my goals are."

[The Mask]

Most I enjoyed a show for a long time. That cut was mad, opened up so fast. Like went from no cut to saving private Ryan in an instant.

[Next Big Thing]

nope

http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Eddie-Alvarezs-Injunction-Against-Bellator-Denied-Lightweight-Will-Not-Fight-at-UFC-159-49403

I think it will probably be awhile before Alvarez fights for the UFC, it at all in 2013. Bellator may be a small promotion, but Viacom is their largest stakeholder. Zuffa isn't dealing with some Mickey Mouse clown like Coker and Viacom will probably be content keeping this in court just to show they aren't afraid of the UFC/Zuffa.

[MoFo]

Dana came out and said he has the right to match any offer given to Rampage, straight away I thought that was some bargaining chip to get Bellator to drop the case and figure out a "swap deal"
