haha i just like being a jackass. but in all seriousness i would love for forrest to win but we know he is going to get taken down in this fight at some point. And when he gets taken down i think Rampage will be able to avoid any submission attempts except maybe a triangle from forrest. Forrest's JJ doesnt seem to be good enough to submit Rampage(even though Rampage doesnt seem to have amazing sub defense). On the feet Forrest is the overall better striker he just lacks power. Rampage has never been a top notch striker and i dont think he ever will but he has always had strength in his punches and with Forrest's chin it seems like hed go down at some point as well. So for me Rampage should be able to match forrest on the feet but dominate the ground game and i think Rampage will take forrest down and pound him out in the second round

Haha, now there's one that will get you in trouble if you're talking grammar. If you just want to be "mates" in England that means friends. In the states, some people might take that as you... ehem... wanting to be "mates" if you catch my drift.

I don't think spelling really matters when it comes to knowing your way around the fight game. I train with plenty of complete idiots (school wise) that would absolutely destroy me in a cage.

All of that aside, though- I agree with most everybody when they say Forrest doesn't have the tools to beat Rampage if you look at it linear equation style

Punching Power = Rampage > Forrest
Wrestling = Rampage > Forrest
Experience = Rampage > Forrest

and the list goes on. The one variable that has kept me guessing on this fight is Forrest's work ethic and training camp. You can't deny the help Forrest gets from both of these. Couple that with his never-say-die mentality and you have a dangerous fighter on your hands no matter the odds.

I compare it to the Mujahideen vs. the Russians back in the 80's. You had one side that had firepower, financial support, and an organized army against a bunch of rag tag never-say-die religious fundamentalists. On paper the punching power, experience, and wrestling all went to the Russians. However, with a war of attrition the Mujahideen overcame the odds and forced the Russians back home.

Those sitting at home- don't be so quick to count out Forrest. If Rampage doesn't get the job done in the first couple rounds I do believe Forrest has a chance at a SD
