I was just about to post the same thing. IMO, AKA has three of the top six welterweight fighters in the UFC (and world for that matter). They are going to have to fight one another eventually. I love some of the quotes from Forrest.

Hey Kev, how’d you do at the tournament over the weekend? I played in a cash game (1,2 NL Hold ‘em) at Turning Stone on Saturday Night. I was $300 in and went up to about $800, but I was having fun so I didn’t want to get up, and then lost all the profit. I walked away even at $300 at about 530 AM on Sunday morning, after playing for 9 hours. Ive never been real good at live tournaments, so I don’t usually play them. I do pretty well in some of the smaller online ones though.

prize pool ended up being 24k. I played the best poker of my life, that said, got busted in 15th. It payed top 10.
sat I had AQ against A5, river came 5.
the structure allowed me to play again sun. (both days down to 5 for the final table)
I got pocket queens,pushed and was called by AQ, I had him dominated…until the ace came. overall a fun time, just aggravating, I don’t mind losing if I play bad, but I was playing great.
I turned around and lost 700 on NFL games yesterday.
philly and over look good tonight, but the spread is very high…overall, bad gambling weekend!

I agree Kevin. These AKA guys are like sarority siters or something. Either fight each other, move divisions or move your ass to Japan.

Where do you play at Kev? I know you said your going down to SD on a family trip, but Harrah’s has a place down there somewhere. If you got some down time at night, you might want to hit it up. If you’re ever in L.A. you should go to Commerce. They got some decent low steaks there like 2/2 and 3/3 (dealer takes one from the small blind I think). I’ve rolled plenty of suckers at the tables there.

thank mexi, I don’t play limit games, usually play 2/3/5 NL with minimum come in bet of 10 bucks! I’m on a strict budget in SD, last minute trip with money I’ve won ONLY! I lost a little over a grand total this weekend, and monday night game isn’t a lock! I play in san jose (bay101) sometimes in middle of the night, lots of drunks giving money away!

Forrest needs to stop hating on Rampage. After eeking out a decision, he should just keep his name out of his mouth!

I am very happy to hear that Forrest is open to fighting wanderlei, unlike the Aka Fags!

I have a ton of catching up to do. I missed the entire TUF Finale. I just found out who won the fights. Can anyone tell me which fights are worth watching. Help me catch up guys…..Thanks!

they were all pretty good John!
Kaplan and Junie enter the cage like idiots, I’ve never seen a “professional” be so dumb..I must be getting old!
Junie somehow got fight of the night over efrain/nover, my theory, he has a gay sex tape with Dana White as leverage. He doesn’t get kicked off the show, gets on the man card and gets fight of the night! WOW. That said,He looked much improved!

Yeah, I hate limit games. They are the worst. Some dumbass with a ton of chips always pulls out a straight or flush with some f-ed up cards.

Gouveia for sure John. He is going to smash some 185ers in 09!!! As much as I hate to say it Junie actually looked much improved from the show as well.

the pompano dog track has a good tournament mexi. hard rock has pretty good sit and go’s down in hollywood. you been to the pompano card room?

Thanks ugys I gotta go back and watch the videos

whoever said Swick is a top 6 WW, I hope that’s a joke.

I thought the same thing

You don’t have to catch up john. U already know everything! LMAO!

Well john, i guess you haven’t heard about the union of Big Nog and Wand yet. They will be training with each other from now on according to Alejarra even for 92. Also wand is trying to get either demian or comprido to be his fight team’s BJJ coach.

If Rampage beats Wandy, then I want to see Rashad beat Forrest because I am not interested in seeing Forrest vs Rampage again, however, if Wanderlei wins, I woudlnt mind seeing he and Forrest fight, but I would so LOVE to see someone put a DEVASTATING beating on Rashad because I cannot stand him (just my opinion of him)and I think Wanderlei is too aggresive for timid run away and swing big Rashad….Either way it looks like us fan have some good fights ahead no matter who wins or loses.

Does anyone know if Chuck Liddell will fight agian and if so against who?

BOOO STINKY!! GO SILVA!!!

lol,

i love both fighters~ i just know rampage has it in the bag.

I’ll bet my rent check Wandy wins this one by devestating KO.

Don’t get me wrong I’m still a huge Rampage fan, but this just so happens to be the one fighter at LHW I’ll root against Rampage for.

Agreed – Rampage used to say he was in Chuck’s head because he beat him, same thing goes for Wandy in Rampage’s head. Also, Rampage has some personal sh*t he still hasn’t sorted out………Wandy takes this one, no question

Plus, Wandi doesn’t like Rampage. Rampage is going to get hurt. Maybe after this fight he will drive his car off a cliff. Fu*k Rampage… He still never came out with a public apology after his little “Rampage”.

Bamn!

Very Debatable! I re watched that fight last night and I am still confused. I just feel that it was such a close fight that the belt should not have changed hands. If it were a normal 3 round fight and it was that close, then I wouldn’t care who they gave the fight to. But Rampage was the DEFENDING UFC champion, and 1st ever Unified Pride/UFC champion…I needed to see Forrest take the title, and I didnt see that at all. It was given to him, and I still have a terrible taste in my mouth about it!

No worries Rashad is going to knock is block off!

and If Forrest ever fight wanderlei, it wont be as exciting as you guys think. Wandy’s ground game is very over rated (to be a black belt) and Forrest’s is probably his best attribute so Randy’s gameplan will involve a lot of Forrest taking wandy down, because he will be much bigger and stronger then wanderlei and to beat him on the ground.

So all you fans who think they are going to go out there and swing for the fences, that Forrest is long gone, he is much more calculated now. He and Randy both know his limitations and they formulate a gameplan that emphasizes his strengths.

Basically what I am trying to say is I dont see Forrest trying to stand with wanderlei AT ALL!

Same thing goes with Rashad. I dont think Rashad will stand with wandy either. he will use his supperior wrestling to take the fight to the ground.

btw, I think Rampage isnt going to tsand with wandy either. Thats why I believe Ranmpage is going to defeat wanderlei on the 27th. Rampage took wandy down in both of the previous fights but the refs stood them up to fast. That wont happen in the cage.

U guys all laugh at Rampage signing with the wolfslair, wait till you see this fight. I think it was a brilliant move by Rampage and it will pay dividends against wanderlei. Rampage is going to take him down and put a hurting on him. If Rampage stays active from top position I dont see wanderlei sweeping him or being able to get the fight back standing again, so I got Rampage winning.

If you want me to be honest, I dont even want to see this fight. I dont want to see either fighter lose, so I might just turn away during the fight. Seeing one of these 2 lose, is very hard for me to take. I am pissed that this fight has been booked. I would have preferd to see Wanderlei vs. Hendo 3 since Hendo is fighting at 205 again. Rampage could have fought Rich Franklin, Machida, or Thiago!

Also, I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but to me Wandy looks smaller, slower, and less powerful than his Pride version. DON’T take what I’m saying the wrong way, I’m NOT saying Wandy is anywhere close to small, slow, or not powerful. I’m just saying it looks to me like he’s lost a bit in those categories since Pride. I’m a big fan of both fighters though. That being said, Rampage wins with slams and GNP.

Nah, his fight with Chuck he looked like the nerves got to him, dropping 2 fights in a row by KO and debuting in the UFC against Liddell he just wanted to get out there and put on a show; now he’s in it to win it. The fight with Jardine wasn’t really long enough to make an assessment; but trust me, Wandi is 32 yrs old, it’s prime time. He’s training with Couture, he’s probably got some new tricks in the clinch. Its on now; Rampage is goin down

I think if Wanderlei did fight Forrest, he would win by KO.

Great write up John.
