The Machida/Thiago Silva winner will happen next far as LHW title bouts. Apparently Forrest/Rampage 2 is being set up for them next.

View Full Version : So after speaking with some insider's I believe Evans vs.... ScrewasideMMA 12-30-2008, 09:36 AM The Machida/Thiago Silva winner will happen next far as LHW title bouts. Apparently Forrest/Rampage 2 is being set up for them next. D.C. 12-30-2008, 10:40 AM Forrest/Rampage 2 makes absolutely no sense booking wise, just like Wand/Rampage made no sense. You don't match someone coming off of a loss vs someone coming off of a huge win. Winner of Silva/Machida should fight Evans, Rampage should fight Luis Arthur Cane or Shogun if Shogun beats Coleman. Winner of Cane/Shogun vs Rampage should face the winner of Evans vs Machida/Silva. Give Forrest a fight with Chuck or the loser of Silva/Machida.

You don't match someone coming off of a loss vs someone coming off of a huge win. Actually, it makes a lot of sense in that a lot of people felt that the decision was unwarranted, and that Rampage deserved to win their fight. Plus, they can stack another card by putting Evans first title defense on the same card. ScrewasideMMA 12-30-2008, 11:28 AM I'm not saying it makes sense as alot of booking in the UFC rarely does but this is the feeling I'm getting when on this forum most people were pretty much writing it off as Rampage was obviously gonna face Rashad next when I don't see that being the case. I had heard no matter who was the champ Forrest or Rashad that the winner of Machida/Silva was getting the shot and people tried to pretty much laugh me out the forum. It's not cause I nessecarily want to see this fight happen soon. It's cause from comments from people in the UFC and mma fanatics who's predictions I've known to be right 9 times out of 10 have told me that.

If Forrest loses, 2 losses in a row. |
