In the end he wasn't fighting, he was just being an athlete to AVOID Rampage, Rashad didn't even do any physical damage until he took Rampage down in the 3rd and did some ground and pound after he almost got his face smashed in.

[BloodRaven]

That fight was still Rampage's to lose, he missed around 4-5 bombs in a row after dropping Rashad in that last round. They showed it in slow-mo and I still can't believe how lucky Rashad was, we all know how soft his chin is.

Because this is MMA and the point is to beat your opponent. Rashad would throw a single punch and hold him up against the fence for 2 rounds. Who the heck wants to watch that on a MAIN EVENT after paying $50.00 to watch. Rashad has looked like a bum his last few fights, VERY BORING.

The financial situation of the audience members is no concern of Rashad's. I agree, it can be boring, but if Rampage was such a bad dude, why didn't he just grab Rashad and beat the crap out of him? Because he couldn't.

I like Rampage, fun guy in the interviews I've seen, but he had a guy locked in a cage with him and couldn't get him... that's about the sum of it.

nervous about tonight(always am when Chuck fights),after his last few fights which he has lost I just wonder if he still has his edge,I like Franklin to but I want Chuck to knock him out.Now I just have to figure out how I am going to see the fight lol

It's a fight and Rashad should be attempting to finish the FIGHT as much as Rampage should. This is the UFC not cat and mouse.

[XxSizzleXx]

Iceman and Franklin tonight should be a good one. Everytime I watch Tyson Griffen fight he is always in an entertaining fight. Cro Cop hasn't impressed me lately so we'll see if tries to come out tonight and finish it. Paulo Thiago is a small name but he is very underrated IMO, he will do well tonight against Kampmann.

[FlaccoFlicker]

damn what an end to a career,thanks for the memories Chuck,I am getting into this game because of you.

Rashad won the fight within UFC rules. Ask Rampage if he thinks Rashad didn't fight. You might not be satisfied, but them's the breaks.

Either way Rashad is a big chump.

The Iceman over committed tonight and got clocked right on the button by mr Jim Carey. That's too bad that he did over committ because he was looking GREAT before he was put down, he was utilizing high,low and body kicks(actually broke Franklin's arm when Rich blocked a kick), was being more technical with his striking and even took him to the ground and did some ground and pound. I don't really see the good coming out of not letting Liddell fight any more, his first fight back and the UFC is the fastest selling ever, sold out in less than 45 minutes.

Martin Kampmann looked great.

Why make personal attacks on people you don't know and haven't wronged you? Teach him a lesson if you think he needs one. UFC sign-up sheet is that way... ----->

Personal attacks gimme a break. Rashad does all this smack talking about how he's going to give him the first punch and knock him out and all this nonsense, then comes out in the Octagon and is clearly hesitant to stand with the man.

You're right. Calling someone a "chump" isn't a personal attack. So sorry to bother. Consider the subject dropped.

Not really, it can be entertaining but I'd still rather see a battle.

BINGO!! I don't care about Rashad I just want to sea a good duel.

[Fred Sanford]

That Filipovic (Cro Cop) vs. Barry fight was the best I've seen in a while. Barry kept landing those bombs but not following up. Was cool to see how much mutual respect they had, and the old Croat got a nice win.

The Rory MacDonald fight against Carlos Condit was easily the best fight of the night. Rory beats him up for the first two rounds then Greg Jackson reems out Condit before the 3rd then he comes out and literally beat Rory's face in. That Condit is one tough customer.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Cannot wait until Saturday night it won't be a long fight but it's going to a slug fest
who you all got?
Honestly I think Carwin going to knock Brock out

oh and I enjoyed hearing the supposed greatest fighter in the world tapped out Saturday night (still have to watch that)

[XxSizzleXx]

I would LOVE to see Carwin put Lesnar to sleep. Carwin is 12-0 and has never been out of the 1st round, he has 9 minutes of total fight time! He has some pistons on his arms.

[FlaccoFlicker]

Just watched the Carwin/Mir fight that set up this event for Sat.Dude just pummeled Mir,who I feel just needs to hang it up,ever since his cycle accident he hasn't been the same force

[FlaccoFlicker]

The Bonner/Sosinceski(sp) was freaking awesome glad to see Bonner get a win

[FlaccoFlicker]

Leben vs Yoshi was a sick fight also very good card so far,the Lylte fight was decent also

[XxSizzleXx]

Some great fights happening tonight, like mentioned above the Akiyama/Leben fight and Bonner/Krystof fight we're really really entertaining. Going good so far now Lesnar has just got to get his jaw disconnected just enough to cut off oxygen to the brain so he can sleep for a bit.

[FlaccoFlicker]

what do you guys think Leben vs Silva

[XxSizzleXx]

Leben puts out entertaining fights just as well as Wanderlei so it will be a dandy. Did you see Leben take multiple punches while still walking in against Akiyama, I literally burst out laughing, dude has a diamond jaw. I am more of a Silva fan though so I would like to see Wanderlei come out on top. It will be a slugfest.

[FlaccoFlicker]

dude Rogan was right Leban looked like a zombie staggering around he has definitly grown as a fighter since tuf 1.Dude just had a fight 2 weeks ago

[FlaccoFlicker]

he called steve austin cold stone lmao

[FlaccoFlicker]

Carwin coming out to Bodies by Drowning Pool Pumping me up even more!!!!!!!this fight will not get out of first round i think
