Jackson won an unimpressive fight. That was far from a rampage...

I don't know if you're saying the fight was unimpressive or if Rampage was unimpressive, but either way, you're wrong. Sorry that wasn't a Griffn/Bonnar wild, slugfest, but that was a 5 round championship fight between two elite MMA fighters that all championship fights should stive to be.

This fight had everything: (kick)boxing, Greco-Roman clinch/dirty boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu. The action went back and forth, and to use a football cliche was closer than the 49-46 score appeared (though I agree with the 49-46 Jackson scoring). It had historical meaning, though the UFC decided to downplay it at fight time by not having Dan come out with his belt.

Plus, Rampage gave you one of the best post-fight interviews ever.
