I think Forrest will beat Rampage. I think the Jardin fight was a fluke, as was Houston's win over the later. I could see Penn wanting to be a 2 division champion then dropping the LW,Roger wont get past Kenny,and Ken-flo vs. Penn is a fight id love to see, but if Penn beats Ken, he drops the belt saying he is too good for the division, that also covers GSP. And Anderson wont lose to a rematch with Hendo, because it wont F*ing happen, Hendo a great fighter isnt well known enough yet to get a title shot, more so after losing 2 fights in a row too two people the fans love. As for Nog, thats tied up for the next year or so, thanks to TUF, but thats a good thing, because now they can market Brock more,and rear him into being "The HW champ." plus gonzaga, werdum, and AA need to get sorted out in the standings, AA should be in the lead, they took him out of the spotlight, and now its time to throw him back in. Hearing needs to get past Lesnar, and Kongo and Gonzaga is a fight waiting to happen. Werdom takes on the loser of Mir/Nog, and Brandon is in the mix too. Oh and theirs the up and comers, but they need to breach the top of all the divisions, which means they need a 2 fight win streak against a Named opponent, I dont see that happening in any divisiong except with Thiago, and Alves(if he takes Hughes.)

So they sold that angle and Rampage got the shot. And at the time, Wanderlei hadn't came over yet, neither had Shogun and he had already beat Tito twice so Rampage was the logical candidate.
As for Nogueira, I completely agree with you that despite the ref not stopping it, Herring could have won with GNP. I do think though that Herring was more in shock that the fight hadn't been stopped yet and he felt like he had Nogueira hurt bad enough that if he got back to his feet, he could just KO him easily. Sadly the round ended and Nogueria had a full minute to recover and the rest is history. I do still feel though that the ref should have stopped it and had Nogueria had serious damage done, that ref should be held accountable. Shot after shot was landed and Nogueira wasn't defending himself. Needless to say, that same ref fell on his butt in the Tito fight Saturday night.

agreed and maybe thats his payback looking like a dumbass in front of millions

I'd have to say GSP ONLY because Penn is calling him out. Penn looks great right now and if they fought he'd probably train like he's never trained before to avenge his loss.
I think GSP will beat Fitch's ass, soundly. IMO Fitch is way over-rated.

BJ Penn- He will not lose the LW title in a match. He's the greatest LW in the entire world and especially in the UFC. No one at that weightclass could even put him in too much danger
GSP- There's some up and comers that have enough KO power to catch him and knock him out, but for the most part GSP should be pretty safe with his title for a long while, that is unless he has to fight BJ Penn for the title. If that happens than GSP could very easily lose his belt.
Anderson Silva- He should be pretty safe with the title for awhile. If Dan Henderson works his way back into title contention than he could give Silva a run for his money, but other than that, there isn't an imediate threat to Silva's title run.
Rampage- I think he is the most likely to lose his belt first. I think that Machida could give him a run for his money and take his belt. He also has to worry about Shogun and Wanderlei as well, because they both hold dominate victories over him. Rampage has the toughest road as champion ahead of him.
Nog- There's a lot of solid up and comers in the UFC HW division, but most of them haven't reached their full potential yet and most of them won't for awhile. It is for these reasons that I think Nog should be safe with the belt for the time being.
