I'm hoping they don't tack on a contendership stipulation to Chuck/Rashad.

While Chuck/Forrest actually sounds fun as shit, Rashad/Forrest would make my eyes bleed. Rashad/Forrest has potential to be the most boring twenty-five minutes since Sylvia/Monson, and it would definitely go twenty-five minutes.

Dude Cote really is a BORING fighter. Other than him throwing some serious heat at some points I always end up being bored during those. I know it takes two fighters to make something that boring happen but I think Cote is always present at the scene of the crime.

Usually, yeah, but his mauling of Grove was pretty hilarious and he earned points with me for that.

Yeah...I like Grove

I was right about Tyson Griffin.
I was right about Joe Daddy winning in the 2nd, but by submission, not TKO.
I was right about Cote, wrong about manner.
Wrong about Lytle, which makes me hate Kos more.
Right about Gonzaga. Wrong about how.

I should have put money down.

I don't find Cote that boring. He KO'd Grove & McFedries in dominating fashion early in the fight so you can't really ask for more than that. If anyone is to blame for that fight being boring it's Almeida. He spent the entire fight backing up or trying to pull guard because Cote's takedown defense was too much for him.

I don't really have a problem with Cote getting a title shot. He's nothing spectacular, but there isn't much else in the middleweight division. Bisping is 1 or 2 fights away from his own title shot so he'll probably be next after Cote vs. Silva. I am curious where Okami fits into all of this. I'm not sure the UFC wants to give him a title shot, but maybe Okami vs. Bisping for a title shot if Bisping gets past Leben.

I like the way that sounds and works. Cote / Silva will be a good enough fight, but Silva really shouldn't have ANY trouble with him.

Yeah. We rewinded that like 3 times...

People on the internet are saying the Forrest vs. Rampage fight was fixed. WTF? I can't believe anyone truly believes Rampage won that fight. Hell, he didn't even think he won. I think some of the judges had the rounds wrong, but overall they got the fight right. Here is how the judges scored it:

Adalaide Byrd 48-46
Round 1: Griffin 10-9
Round 2: Griffin 10-8
Round 3: Griffin 10-9
Round 4: Jackson 10-9
Round 5: Jackson 10-9

Nelson Hamilton 48-46
Round 1: Jackson 10-9
Round 2: Griffin 10-8
Round 3: Griffin 10-9
Round 4: Jackson 10-9
Round 5: Griffin 10-9

Roy Silbert 49-46
Round 1: Griffin 10-9
Round 2: Griffin 10-9
Round 3: Griffin 10-9
Round 4: Jackson 10-9
Round 5: Griffin 10-9

Oddly enough the only round I gave to Rampage was round 1 when he got the knockdown. I can see giving him 4 too though.

That's how I saw it too. Definitely round one and round 4. Round 3 I thought was pretty close, but Forrest had it. Plus I saw round 2 as 10-8 since rampage did absolutely nothing offensively.
