Matt Hamill is all class!!:

"Aside from making a mistake, he did his job and he did it well," Hamill wrote on his official Web site, matthamill.com. "He definitely didn't lose this fight, and I definitely didn't win, but I guess the rules are there for a reason. It is what it is. I went into this fight feeling like my record was actually 9-1, so with this so-called win, I will now consider my record 9-2."

Hells yeah! I think Rampage will end up staying longer than his current contract though.

^Same here. There was so much suspense built up all season of The Ultimate Fighter that each week when they would get in each others faces I would cuss because I knew they wouldn't be fighting at 107 lol.

I'll take 'Page in the grudge math with Rashaad. Rampage is a bad bad man, and look what he did in his last grudge math (Wanderlei Silva anyone?).

Bobby Lashley v. Fedor would be a big mistake for Strikeforce, if that happens too soon. Lashley needs some credible wins under his belt before they feed him to the Fedor machine.

I agree Rampage is a bad man, but Wandi isn't in his prime for sure anymore. Keep in mind, Rashaad still only has 1 loss on his record. Albeit it was a nasty knockout, but still only one. I see him bouncing back with the W.

^Nah, Rashad has to beat Thiago Silva first. It will probably end up being in April or so.

It should be a good fight. I've always liked Rampage but I have grown to like Rashad from the show. Like I said earlier I couldn't even predict a winner.
