Part of me wonders if putting UFC Light Heavy Champ Rampage Jackson vs. Forest Griffin on a holiday weekend was a good idea. I'm sure buy rates will be ok, but a lot of people are traveling or on vacation...probably not sitting down to buy a PPV, you know?

Regardless, this is going to be a great and entertaining fight between two of the sport's most colorful and likable personalities. I think Jackson is going to pull this out with a second-round TKO, but if it goes past three rounds, Griffin is going to take it via split decision to win the title.

The rest of the card:

  • Patrick Cote vs. Ricardo Almeida (185). RRC Pick: Cote
  • Joe Stevenson vs. Gleison Tibau (155). RRC Pick: Tibau
  • Josh Koscheck vs. Chris Lytle (170). RRC Pick: Koscheck
  • Tyson Griffin vs. Marcus Aurelio (155). RRC Pick: Griffin
  • Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Justin McCully (Heavyweight). RRC Pick: Gonzaga
  • Jorge Gurgel vs. Cole Miller (155). RRC Pick: Miller
  • Melvin Guillard vs. Dennis Siver (155). RRC Pick: Siver
  • Corey Hill vs. Justin Buchholz (155). RRC Pick: Hill
-More fights have been added to the July 19 UFC Fight Night card featuring Anderson Silva's debut at 205 pounds. The most interesting revolves around exiled TUF Fighter Jesse Taylor taking on TUF Finale loser CB Dollaway. Taylor was last seen getting booted out of the finals after kicking out a limo window and terrorizing hotel staff members while just a teensy-bit intoxicated. I'm guessing the crowd reaction to him won't be kind.
