    Not sure about that, i don't really like Rampage but he hurt him at least twice a round ( in the 3rd and 4rth) and won most if not all boxing exchanges. Rampage won the first 10-9, the third 10-9, the fourth 10-9 and lost the second and the fifth(9-10, 9-10). If you don't believe me check out the fightmetrics, it's like the compubox of MMA.

    UFC wanted their poster boy to get the belt, Rampage regretted what he just said after the fight and says he got robbed off his belt. Lyoto Machida agrees with me and said Rampage won the fight.
    Watch the fight here:

    It's mostly irrelevant who won boxing exchanges, as this is not boxing, but Mixed Martial Arts. Forrest won the stand-up exchanges by pounding the **** out of Quinton's legs. And he won the fight. Three Nevada State Athletic Commission judges, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson himself immediately after being brutally punished in the fight agrees with me.

      Forrest killed Rampage's legs i give you that but i 'd rather give the round to the guy who land the cleaner effective shots to the head. Body shots and leg kicks count but except in round 2, it didn't look to me that Rampage was more hurt by Forrest's leg kicks than Forrest was hurt by Rampage's punches.

      Plus i think even if the fight was close, they should give the benefit of the doubt to the champion. You need to beat the champ decisively to get the belt IMO. And Forrest didn't do it, he almost stopped Rampage round 2 but almost got stopped round 1.

        this totally defeats the point of round scoring. if you win the fight, even by a small margin, then why should the other guy still walk away with the belt.

        "hey kids, i was the greatest fighter of my era. only problem is, i was only slightly better than the champ, so i never got the belt."

        Rampage was one dimensional, and his inabilty to deal with leg kicks was embarrassing. he lost.
