Forrest Griffin - UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!

DID I JUST SAID THAT? FUCKING YEAH I DID!

Forrest Griffin is the new UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MAN! That's something I never thought I can say or blog about after 86.

I'm a big Griffin fan but even at my wildest dreams I never expected him to go toe to toe with Quinton Rampage Jackson for five freaking rounds man. I thought the only way he was going to win is to catch Rampage with a submission, but even that is close to impossible. But here I am, blogging about the New Light Heavyweight Champion of the World and it's just crazy man.

PS

For those who are interested on how I scored the bout here's my round for round analysis

Round 1: 10 - 9 Rampage. Rampage dropped Forrest with a huge uppercut which could've ended any fight, but Forrest managed to hang on

Round 2: 10 - 8 Forrest. I never thought I'd see a round of pure dominance from Forrest Griffin. The leg kick that buckled Rampage really turned everything around in this match.

Round 3: 10 - 9 Forrest. Tough round to score but I gave it to Griffin, Rampage had harder shots but Forrest landed more. Leg kicks and head kicks won the round for Forrest here.

Round 4: 10 - 9 Rampage. Page landed more blows, had the takedown and controlled the tempo for most of the round. Forrest had a triangle however, but was quickly broken up by an attempt of a Rampage powerbomb.

Round 5: 10 - 9 Forrest. Forrest pushed the pace here. Controlled the round, fighting very cautiously but effectively.

So yeah, I had it 48 - 46 for Griffin too. :D
