Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson VS Forrest Griffin – UFC 86
Our very first pick is the main event for UFC 86 and the fight we are truly excited about. This fight is Rampage vs Griffin and will either be a brutal knockout or a long drawn out fight. We are betting on Brutal.
Don’t forget to check out all the UFC 86 Betting Lines.
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.

The only way Rampage loses this one is if he gases and I don’t think he can gas before he knocks our Forrest. Run Forrest, Run!

Rampage kicks Forrest Ass. This is a stupid fight even though the world wants to see it. There are a lot of staged fights this time just like last UFC 86. Fights just to pump up certain fighter’s stats. Dana is making a mockery of the UFC with all the shitty fights.

I think you might have meant UFC 85 ‘ScrewDana’. Nice nickname, BTW

You got this one right. But then again – so does everyone else. Rampage wins easy.

No need to disparage the commenters Screedman. The actual analysis was mine and even though it was wrong, it was my thought going into the matchup after seeing nearly every fight by these 2 guys. Kudos to Griffin who fought one hell of a fight and simply out fought Rampage. Don’t forget, though, that there was a time early on in this fight where this prediction looked to be inevitable.

Crap month for old Jackson, 1st he looses the belt, 2nd goes to jail on a hit and run/Felony evasion/reckless driving charge… shit comes in threes, watch your ass bro!!!

No shit! I couldn’t believe that crazy shit with him going to jail. Dana got to bail him out, tho. He must still be pissed from the loss
