So for those of you who wish to go argue "Forrest did not take the Champion's belt (Jackson)" the proof is right there in your face that goes for you Franklin McNeil.I just find it really sad when anyone attempts to take away from someones win with arguments that make no sense in order to discredit a fighter's win. It is fighter bashing when you make a statement like this and then say "People are saying" NO! if you don't agree with it don't say it. The guy won plain and simple we all saw the fight and can form our own opinions, don't announce the guy won the fight then throw in your opinion pretending it is a general statement everyone agrees with. Even Forrest said he wants to do the fight again. Look at Georges St.Pierre's loss to Matt Serra he learned a valuable lesson from that loss and Rampage will too. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ANYONE IN MMA IT WILL BITE YOU IN THE ASS, IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED WATCH 2007. MMA IS CHESS NOT CHECKERS EVERY MOVE COUNTS. By the way if they fight again I think Rampage will win by KO, he needed this loss and he will be a better fighter and future champion because of it.
