If you remember Rampage stormed off like a girl.

I just think Rampage shouldn't have said it, since he did something should be said to him about it.

If anyone seen the Shane Mosley vs Vargas 1 and 2 fights, Vargas ran his mouth and he manned up and paid Shane each time even though they never shook on it.

You've never said anything out of haste in the heat of the moment? You make it sound like Rampage held a press conference and made a legitmate well-thought-out bet with a level head.

So if Rampage had won the fight then you would expect Forrest to give up his pay for the fight?

True
Also he just said it, its not like they sat down, talked about it, made the bet and shook on it.

Juanito is one thing but Rampage's comments were totally different

Dante Rivera said he would retire if Matt beat him, lets talk about that!
Retarded thread.

I never really expect fighters or trainers to uphold those "guarantees" because I really believe they're often using it merely for motivation. We all know you can't "guarantee" anything in the sport of MMA.

Agreed 100%
I did lose Respect for page (albeit not much i still like the guy) by going back on his words (i got my ass whooped) and saying he wants to contest the scoring.
If he needs to man up about anything it is him dealing with the loss and trying to get a rematch to prove he should still have the belt around his waist and not leaving it to the judges this time.

-Dana White thanked everyone for attending the event this past weekend, said that they will be back again with the best pound for pound fighter facing off on july 19th and told everyone it would be a great fight.

-Said that Rampage would need a win against a top guy to get another title shot and stating that there is a rematch with Wanderlei still out there...

-Dana mentioned that Patrick Cote would be fighting sometime in October again, probably on the Leben, Bisping card and said that card will come out with more great fights..

-He said Liddell and Evans would be the number one contender and the winner of that would fight in December, thats if the winner comes off Injury free.

-Thanked Forrest for his efforts and said this is a example of what the Ultimate fighter can do for a guys like him.

-Quoted that Josh is a great athlete, but needs some more wins to get a title shot...

-He ended by saying Forrest will have a title defense in September, and October and will fight again in December in the main card if he defends
his title in Sept, October.

Rampage went on a Rampage screaming about how his fight with Forrest won't make it to a decision and all other shit and he said he will give his entire check to Forrest if it does.

Juanito in a rant said if Forrest beat Rampage he would retire.

Now my question is, no matter how you look at it Forrest won and it went to the cards. So are those 2 going to keep their word or back pedal and pretend it never happen.

yea i was chuckling at this. jackson owes forrest his entire purse, and jackson's trainer has to retire. rofl

Rampage showed a lot of class after the fight in the cage but, like GSP with his disrespectful comments about Serra which leaked out later after the fact, in my eyes Rampage (and Ibarra) lost a lot of props.

Yeah ! NO SHIT ! Right after the decision Jackson told Joe Rogan,
"Forrest whooped my ass!" Then later on after all his nuthuggers were telling him that he got robbed he changed his fuckin' story!!!!!!!!

Source please? I call bullshit on Forrest defending in Sept.

It really makes me sad to hear that Jackson is now contesting the decision. After the fight I told my wife that that is the very definition of class. Now this b.s. and I get that sad feeling you get when someone you admire does something colossally stupid and embarrassing.

Oh yeah...and as for Jackson having 16 kids...damn it, man...where a goddamn rubber or watch some TV!

Ibarra = great trainer, but man, that guy a fucking tool bag when it comes to sportsmanship.

It would be interesting if this were true.
