Neither are very good. That needs to be fixed. Curtis, Page has a jiu-jitsu coach and a thai coach. Neither are very good. That needs to be fixed.

A Thai coach would help with leg kicks and the plum. None of the above will help in front of the cops. You may have almost said something intelligent…ALMOST

Page has a Jits coach, its not Saulo Ribiero but it is good enough.

A Thai coach would help with leg kicks and the plum. None of the above will help in front of the cops.

C'mon man, you know those are just words. He still has to feed his family. Why is everyone calling for his head all of a sudden? Sure he disagreed with the decision but that is his job. He is Rampage's hype man, he is supposed to back him up! No he should not retire, how should however get a muay thai coach as well as a BJJ coach to help him out. and how many time have you heard that crazy played out story… C’mon man, you know those are just words.

Perhaps my memory is not serving me correctly but I recall the manager stating that he would retire or leave the sport (or something to that effect) if Quinton lost to Forrest. Or is he trying to get the ruling reversed (although ridiculous and hopeless) so that he doesn't have to leave the sport? It's understandable and I don't blame him for trying to save face, no matter how stupid he looks. He needs a hair cut and a shave. How come he didn’t retire already?

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Juanito, but my problem isn't that he's in MMA, and so I don't think he needs to leave. My problem is that he needs to figure out leg kicks and he needs to figure out the thai plum. The fact is, Juanito is a great boxing coach, but he's a BOXING coach. If Rampage is going to figure out the game at that level, he needs to also have a thai coach or at least some partners who are very skilled in Muay Thai. Ibarra is a great coach, but he shouldn't be working as the head coach of a top 5 fighter. He should be ONE of 'page's coaches, and he definitely shouldn't be the lead. Brandt, just saw this posted.

Jackson will get it back if he wants it bad enough. He's admitted to not wanting to train hard while Griffin is a trainaholic. Whoever wants it most will get it.

Kind of like ufc did to Forrest? lol.. I dont agree with the judging. Ive seen the score cards and the compustrike figures.. I think we have more of a issue once again with the scoring and judging. This was a title fight in a stacked division and org .. So its gonna draw a shit load of attraction. I dont think Forrest dominated enough to pull out a decision like he did let alone a score like he did..Its not like he was the defending champ he was the challenger. Im not a fan of rematches because of shit like this.. But all in all it doesnt matter he wont carry the belt past his first defense. Gift wrap it and send it to Rampage?
