..Forgive any typos as I type without looking..

Hendo v Rampage:
1. Great first round several reversals Hendo is significantly smaller and thinner than the muscled up Jackson. Neither one of them seem to be (material omitted).

2 . Both look slightly winded, Hendo dominated R-1, and he'd dominating R-2, getting the cucifix position from top and except for one brilliant reversal by Rampage, It's all Hendo on top, passed the guard easily, side control.

WOW, another brilliant rev. and stand up by Rampage. Both breathing hard, up against the fence.

Nice TD by Rampage and a reversal. Now he's got H in his crucifix, but H is too good to stay trapped in it for long. Even with one takedown, H manages to reverse it right before the bell, kicking Rampage across to the center of the ring and the bell rings.

3. Bell rings and both look fresh.
Stand up with both in the center of the ring.

**durn, Big John looks Buff!**
Big John has cheekbones and looks dangerous. Go John! LOL

3:50, R-3 and Heno is ROCKED. He staggers back and manages to survive to get the clinch then R takes him down and he's on top in side control.

Once again, H tends to tie up R and lock down his left shoulder preventing much of an offense.

Hendo goes for the kimura...2:18 to go.

Jackson defends and finally pulls his arm free

Hendo turns in and goes for the left arm again. J can esaily defend,

OH NO, Hendo gets it and rolls Rampage BRILLIANT.

Hendo on top in half-guard working for position.

One min left in R-3, H on top, lands a few token blows.

Up against the fence. If Hendo keeps control, he's got R-3

Hendo almost takes J's back.

Wow nice action at the end of the round, J fights to his feet and Hendo gets in a knee, then a great uppercut.

Both guys look fine, no cuts. Jackson is sweating heavily waiting for the bell.

R-4
Circling in the center of the ring. Good hook by H and a better overhand by Jackson.

H almost gets an armbar, Rampage, out, scrambles, He gets another arm bar. We're almost in the Jackson Slam Zone, but R switches out.

R on top, hendo with a Kimura, but he lets it go.

I have to give this round to Jackson. He's landed the more solid punches.

Hendo too wily to give Jackson anything from the ground, and effectively ties him up from the bottom.

Big John stands them up with 1 min to go

Hendo was essentially resting, totally safe.

Hendo tries a spinning kick LOLZ!!

JACKSON LANDS SOLID.

Hendo shakes it off.

10 second bell

Slight edge to Rampage.

I have it R-1, 2, 3 to Hendo; R-4 to Rampage.

Nice Replay. Can't tell what the announcers are saying.

R-5 starts with a slug fest. Both guys landed, but Rampage more solid.

Hendo is impressive in just shrugging these off. He's the Terminator or something. Someone x-ray this guy's skeleton.

Rampage ahead.

On the fence Hendo just stalling working for a takedown high hip..

Elbow and hook to Rampage's head.

H shrugs it off.

He Can't Hurt Hendo!

Hendo gets in a good flurry and takes rampage down, he's mauling him with G&P. Hendo ahead If he keeps thi up he's got round 5 and a clear win.

One minute left.

Hendo lands more elbows.

Rampage can only absorb.

Rampage almost gets up

Hendo stays with him almost has Jackson's back in Marcel Garcia bookbag wrap, but he gets out.

Hendo down, he scrambles.

HENDO ROCKED, ALMOST OUT.

He survives.

Round five to Jackson for the near TKO?

I say three rounds Hendo, Two -very solid- rounds to Jackson, but could go the other way.

Rampage thinks he won. Hendo seems to give it to Jackson, too...just looked like he's saying 'you won, bro'.

Hendo has some clear facial swellings, both sides. Jackson is largely unmarked and seems energetic and fresh at the end.

Jackson walks back to his corner, arms raised, confident. He should be he really rocked Hendo.

Just amazing that a much smaller guy can hang with Jackson. If I were Jackson, I'd be asking for Hendo's autograph.

48-47; 49-46; 49-46 Unanimous for Rampage. Nice fight! (At least Cecil didn't vote like a 'tard this time).

No, he doesn't deserve any "default respect" and yes... He's still a punk. I'd suggest some introspection, and a review of Hamill's post fight comments. He knew he'd been screwed, and he took it like a man... My hat is off to him.

And yes, I would tell Bisping to his face that he acted like a punk.

Joe is just a mouthpiece for the UFC... He has to put on the face for the brand. Let this happen a few more times though and the natives will get restless. MMA (with the UFC in the lead) is streaking past almost all other sports in popularity, but it won't take much to derail it... A couple of high profile questionable decisions and they're just a brutal form of the WWE.

Wake up Dana, it's too early for Rome to burn.

Nice graphic and I hear ya. I was frustrated watching that too.

BUT, if you look at the .gif, K's making the classic defense of the triangle. You push into your opponent and try to make his knee touch his forehead, curling him into a letter 'c', your body weight over him.

That stuffs the triangle (on some people) and keeps them from extending.

However had Cro rotated, so that he was closer to 80-90 degrees to Kongo's body then he'd have had the leverage.

Too often peeps try to get the Tri straight on and it doesn't work. Oppeonent's shoulders are too square and he can resist.

he could have or should have locked that thing in as soon as they hit....he don't have game on the ground....he could have got it from that position..

cro cop could have clinched it and then kongo could slam him rampage style and cro cop could still hold the triangle....

sakuraba did it to rampage 3 times.



edit* one more for ya

How do you make those, do you know? Is that a .gif program that splits a vid into frames? Works pretty well.

yea,rampage is real! i think it's going to be hard taking the belt from him,he's still young.. and STRONG so i lean in his favor on all up comming matches.

At this point I think Rampage's best attribute is his laid back fighter's attitude.

It's perfect. Not too blase, like Fedor sometimes seems to be, but never really threatened or too excited by a pending fight.

I've always thought one reason Chuck was so quiet was that getting the right attitude was not that easy for him. (though, obviously he did something right).

But in the end if you can avoid wasting any energy outside the fight, that's got to be an advantage.

Just a thought.
