All thoughts on the undisputed light heavyweight title fight of Dan Henderson vs. Rampage Jackson, pre fight and post fight. Spoilers included.

Hendo takes this in the latter rounds or by decision. I dont see hendo eating any mat that night. Just chewing up leather and spitting it back at Jackson.

Hendo will KO Rampage with a wild shot in the second round.

PINOYPRIDE · 09-08-2007, 12:54 AM

Yes, I am rooting for Hendo......

I still think Hendo should have won the fight. I had it scored 48 Hendo 47 Rampage. What did you guys think?

MTKrav911 · 09-08-2007, 11:15 PM

Hendo huh?

I only give Hendo 2 rounds. So IMO it was 48 rampage 47 hendo.

Kurtis636 · 09-08-2007, 11:19 PM

I had it 48-47 Rampage.

Hendo won rounds 1 and 2 in my book, Page rounds 3-5. Very impressive wrestling by Quinton.

Good fight. Right decision in this one. Unlike Bisquick vs Matt Thunder Hammill.

I agree 100%

This was a good fight. I'm very impressed with Rampage and hope he stays on top for a long time.

Kurtis636 · 09-08-2007, 11:27 PM

It's all over for Rampage once he faces Shogun. No doubt in my mind that my boy Shogun is going to demolish Forrest.

<-------War Shogun!

This was a good fight but I was disappointed with Henderson, especially in the striking separtment. Each right he threw I thought could KO Rampage, but none really even came close. IMO Hendo clinched too much. I mean theres 20 seconds left in the fight and hes not looking for the KO? Neither of these guys looked liek "THe undistuped" LHW champ, but it was a really good fight.

uncle_leo · 09-08-2007, 11:32 PM

I thought this was a pretty good fight. A bit too much clinching though. Both guys had dominant positions at times and both guys landed some BIG shots.
Rampage deserved the decision.

OneTwoPunch · 09-08-2007, 11:38 PM

I thought Hendo was gonna pull off that kimura, butt page rolled out. I was disappointed in Hendo's will and his conditioning a little bit. I though Rampage deserved the decision, but a was on the edge of my set a little during the official desicion, cause you never know what the judges are gonna say, especially on a night like this *cough*.

Magoogly10 · 09-09-2007, 12:49 AM

I had it 48-47 Rampage as well. His conditioning took over in the later rounds. I didn't expect Dan to get tired that quickly. Rampage looked good on the ground and his striking was sharp once again.

OneTwoPunch · 09-09-2007, 01:03 AM

Did this fight prove anything? I think a guy liek Shogun will come in and absoluteley sweep this division, even though its the toughest one. With all these good guys, there has to be one great one. So its a unified belt? Henderson doesnt have his prode belt anyomore, and it became the UFC LHW belt? Someone please explain.

Kurtis636 · 09-09-2007, 01:07 AM

Yeah, I think they're just going to eliminate the Pride Belt. I think the next logical step after the Frankin v. Silva fight is to have Hendo face the winner and unify that belt.

I'm not sure if the LW belts will ever be unified, but that's ok since Gomi is at best a paper champ given his 2 losses (ok, 1 loss and one "no contest") in non-title fights in Pride. Why they were not-title I'll never know.

Well I guess they deserved to be non title because he lost to people who werent the champions
