Evans-Rampage UFC 114

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

Yeah I'm not sure where all this "Forrest sucks now" has come from, but the gauntlet he's run in his last few fights is matched by literally nobody else in the division.

Shogun
Rampage
Rashad
Anderson
Tito

I defy you to name one other Light Heavyweight who's fought guys of this calliber in a row like that and held his own for the most part(the Anderson fight being the only one he got his ass handed to him in).

Yeah, Forrest gets the Jardine treatment, i.e. never an easy fight and often fighting against champs or ex-champs.

Forrest is the shit. Maybe not the GOAT, but a very solid fighter who deserves respect.

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

I thought Luke was the one who said stupid stuff just to fuck with everyone...

I'm sure zY was being sincere, despite the fact that it sounded like a classic troll comment.

Like it or not, Forrest is an ex-champ with wins over Shogun, Rampage, and Tito.

Then he loses in dramatic fashion to Anderson Fucking Silva and he's suddenly on the level of Jason Brilz.

I was honestly thinking of betting Forrest against NOG till it was cancelled

18-2-1 with one loss via robbery decision?

Brilz ain't exactly a can.

Shogun (2005)

Rampage (2007-present)

but point taken.

All I'm saying is it was painfully obvious that Nog was a nightmare matchup for Forrest.

He's a fine fighter, but he's not on the level of someone who has choked out Rua or taken the belt from Rampage.

Records are important, but this is the UFC.

Me too. Probably would've dropped a little something at +200 or better.

I agree. It was most likely going to be all standup, and Nog would have pushed his shit in IMO. Kind of pissed they cancelled it.

I still may get on Nog against Brilz though, but I gotta look at a couple of his fights first.

Amir:-140, Kim:+110

Escudero:-390, Dan Lauzon:+300

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

I think Stun Gun just might stun Amir's ass back into the L category on this one.

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

I don't know, Amir is very good at keeping the fight at the range he wants it. He uses the leg kicks and teak well to control how close his opponent can get to him, and it's usually him closing the gap for anything. I think Amir outpoints Kim.

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

You could very well be right. Personally, I think the line is probably pretty well set on this one.

[Ludo]

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

Yeah the line is right about where it should be. Kim COULD nail Amir and take him out, and it wouldn't be much of an upset really. I just think Amir has the tools to control this fight and wear Kim out with the body strikes.

That's why they call him the Stun Gun, after all. . .

Re: Evans-Rampage UFC 114

True enough, all I know is I'll be on Amir since he's looked good and won Me money in the past. I don't think Kim is a huge step up from Blackburn, but it's still a step up none the less.
