Fight Analysis: This is a fairly one dimensional fighter against a crazy-unorthodox fighting style. Rampage Jackson has heavy hands and that is about all he has used in his last fights… he has excellent wrestling ability (as noted by his nickname ‘slampage’), but rarely uses that anymore. Machida has an in and out style which makes him very difficult to land punches on. Shogun was the only one to really lay hard hands on Machida and there is a reason for that – he is elusive. In this fight, Machida will simply elude Rampage, frustrate Rampage, and beat Rampage by sheer activity.

Prediction: Machida By Decision

Rampage Jackson is an aggressive fighter with slam-a-bility and powerful striking. Forrest is a grappler with the heart of a lion.

FIGHT ANALYSIS: Griffin is going to look to stay out of Rampage’s wheelhouse in the beginning of this fight and hope to tire him out for a decision or submission victory. This is really his only hope of winning this battle. Griffin cannot knock out Rampage, Griffin cannot submit a NON-tired Rampage, and Griffin cannot out-strike a NON-tired Rampage. Rampage, however, CAN knockout Griffin, CAN ground and pound Griffin, and WILL win this fight. Rampage BY TKO stoppage in brutal fashion.
