hopefully rampage isn't rusty so he can knock rashad's head off

 

[UCDgreek]

hopefully he doesnt weigh 240 like he looked at the ppv in australia.

Rampage is gonna lose this one to Rashad, hes not getting any younger. Rampage just did a big movie and had a long layoff looks a lot overweight. Rashad Evans has a lot more tricks up his sleeve if you ask me just versatile, you never know what style hes gonna bring come fight night.

on fight night your gonna see Rampage Jackson's style broke down straight up

are both 113 & 114 PPV or only one?

 

[drunkaholic707]

both of em are ppv 113 is lyoto machida vs shogun rematch of there last fight many people thought shogun got robbed and should have won it so they set up a quick rematch

 

[lenbiasyayo]

this card is beasty

 

[BROWN GUERRERO]

Great card. Dana said winner of Rashad and Rampage gets a shot at the title. Rampage who was in shape and focused would whoop rashad, but who knows how he's going to come in.

 

[Chuy Savedra]

I think it's bs if Rashad gets a shot at the title after this being his second win. Rampage needs this so he can whoop Shogun/Machida

Forrest Griffin withdraws from UFC 114; Antonio Rogerio Nogueira waits for new opponent


An intriguing co-main event scheduled for UFC 114 has been put on hold as Forrest Griffin (17-6 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has suffered an undisclosed injury in training and has been forced to withdraw from his bout with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) learned of the change from sources close to the original winner of "The Ultimate Fighter," though the loss has yet to be announced by the promotion.

The sources also indicated Nogueira hopes to remain on the card, and a replacement opponent is currently being sought.

Featuring a light heavyweight grudge match between former opposing "The Ultimate Fighter" coaches Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, "UFC 114: Jackson vs. Evans" takes place May 29 in Las Vegas, and the main card airs live on pay-per-view.

Griffin had hoped to build on a split-decision win over previous rival Tito Ortiz at UFC 106 this past November. The razor-thin decision provided an important victory for Griffin after he suffered a devastating knockout to current UFC middleweight champ and Nogueira training partner Anderson Silva.

The win over Ortiz was Griffin's first victory since defeating Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in July 2008 to claim the UFC's light heavyweight title. Griffin lost the belt in his first defense when Rashad Evans defeated him via third-round TKO.

Meanwhile, Nogueira seeks his second UFC win after stunning countryman Luiz Cane with a "Knockout of the Night" performance on the same card as Griffin's win over Ortiz.

The win was Nogueira' sixth-straight overall, and five of the wins during that current streak have come via stoppage. The twin brother of UFC heavyweight contender Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, "Little Nog's" three career losses have to come to current UFC contenders Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Vladimir Matyushenko, as well as UFC and PRIDE veteran Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou.

A timetable for Griffin's was not immediately evident.

DAMN!! That sucks. BTw anyone see Forrest during the commercials of TUF? Dude looked fat as fuck.

Jason Brilz agrees to face Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 114

Forrest Griffin's spot didn't stay empty very long.

Mere hours after reports surfaced that the former light heavyweight champion had been forced out of his UFC 114 contest with Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC), MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that Jason Brilz (18-2-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) has agreed to take the fight on a little less than four-weeks' notice.

Sources close to the promotion indicated that verbal agreements are in place and bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

Brilz bounced back from his first octagon defeat with a unanimous-decision win over Eric Schafer at UFC on Versus 1 in March. Prior to his UFC 103 loss to Eliot Marshall, Brilz had compiled a 13-fight unbeaten streak that included UFC wins over Tim Boetsch and Brad Morris as well as wins outside of the organization over Jason MacDonald and Alex Schoenauer.

Meanwhile, Nogueira seeks to follow up on a win in his long-awaited UFC debut. "Little Nog" stunned Brazilian slugger Luiz Cane in their November 2009 matchup en route to earning a first-round TKO win. The victory was Nogueira's sixth-straight win overall.

With the change to the card, UFC 114 now includes:

MAIN CARD

Forrest probably realized he was gonna get the fuck beaten out of him again lol

No idea who Diet Nog could fight that wouldn't be a step down. Rashad vs. Rampage, T Silva vs. Boetsch, Shogun vs. Machida, Bones vs. VMat, Chuck vs. Ace, Hamill vs. Jardine, Bader/Tito/Vera are hurt, Randy's calling out Toney, Davis isn't ready...

edit- haha I looked at Brilz name while I was typing this and thought "Nah, that'd be stupid". This card's pretty garbage now that I think about it.

 

[MOREBASS]

My psychic abilities are telling me that Melvin Guillard will likely end up in a guillotine. Don't ask me how I know. I just get these visions.

damn i cant wait for this match but i think Rampage will win this bout! his experience alone will carry him over Rashad! although Rampage has those Kimbo knees so it depends where Rashad really concentrates on. That weight class is full of hitters tho...i want to see Jon Jones take it all!

 

[hitthegas]

Rampage better win and make Rashad do the stanky leg, i hate Rashad.

 

[drunkaholic707]

hopefully this is what rampage does to rashad

 

[B-Buzz]

The Primetime special starts tonight after TUF, the UFC's version of 24/7.
Hopefully Rampage wrote some new jokes after last season of TUF cuz he was hella corny by the end of it
