Maybe he was gasing but to me it was by far the worst fight to watch in a loooong time.

The winner is clear here but why do you fools go back to Forrest all the time? BS my ass. Even Rampage admitted that he lost that fight. His own words after the fight were that Forrest 'whooped my ass'. Maybe you didn't see him unable to stand up on his lead leg the several times he was debilitated but I did. Maybe you didn't see how well the fight went OTHERWISE. That is to say that w/out the ABSOLUTE DEVASTATION of the lead leg by Forrest the fight would have come out different. The facts are that the gameplan for Griffin was well orchestrated and expertly executed. Keep Q from putting power on his strikes and remove his ability to generate power for takedowns or slams on his lead leg. Period. That's all Rampage ever had. His strengths were taken out from beneath him and he fell. That is all. He wasn't the best man that day. That is all. There was no robbery, the decision went the way any intelligent mma observer should have had it. wtf is wrong w/ ppl? The winner is clear here but why do you fools go back to Forrest all the time?

Ace is 1 of the best stand up guys in his division, hamill should've taken rich down and went back to his bread and butter and thats wrestling and this would have been a whole different fight! im sorry 2 say this i kno matt hamill is a good fighter i kno he’s deaf and all but he jus looked plain retarded out there….i mean y wood he try 2 stand up with rich.

A kick to the liver can absolutely lead to an instant K.O. especailly Matt is so tired and uncomfortable, liver kick is like something super painful and the pain grows, so if you are ok then you might carry the pain with you but still being able to stand but if you are not fine, then the pain just takes you down. We can see that in the K-1 fight between Mark Hunt and Semmy Schilt. the finish is right, Richie gives so many punches, he’s so full of energy man…..he s been doing the combos so many times since the first round, but the punches just don’t really work on Matt Hamill.
