Anyone watching it this season

I think Rampage is comedic!

Great idea for the first day as well fighting each other!

Can't wait for next week!

yeah, they are due to fight July 5th, UFC 86, in Las Vegas

After the brutal KO of Simmler everyone has been wondering "does he have brain damage? does he have permanent brain damage?" In the post fight video on spike.com seen here (http://www.spike.com/episode/26676/st/2969923) one of the doctors says that it was a grade III concussion. Grade III concussions are very common in football and boxing and shouldn't have a permanent effect on Simmler. (Dolphins QB Trent Green suffered a Grade III last year from a brutal hit for comparison)

From aan.com (American Academy of Neurology)


Grade 3:
1. Any loss of consciousness, either brief (seconds) or prolonged (minutes)
Grade 3 concussion is usually easy to recognize—the athlete is unconscious for any period of time.


-Vacant stare (befuddled facial expression)
-Delayed verbal and motor responses (slow to answer questions or follow instructions)
-Confusion and inability to focus attention (easily distracted and unable to follow through with normal activities)
-Disorientation (walking in the wrong direction, unaware of time, date. and place)
-Slurred or incoherent speech (making disjointed or incomprehensible statements)
-Gross observable incoordination (stumbling, inability to walk tandem/straight line)
-Emotions out of proportion to circumstances (distraught, crying for no apparent reason)
-Memory deficits (exhibited by the athlete repeatedly asking the same question that has already been answered, or inability to memorize and recall 3 of 3 words or 3 of 3 objects in 5 minutes)
-Any period of loss of consciousness (paralytic coma, unresponsiveness to arousal)

Hopefully he will be fine, but to answer the questions of some people he should be fine. He might have symptoms for up to a month after the incident but then should return to normal. However once you have suffered a Grade 2 or 3 concussion you are more prone to have another if you are hit again, much more prone than somebody who hasn't suffered a concussion, so this could be terrible for his MMA career.

Wow, that first dude got rocked buy that right hand to the jaw. He dropped like a sack of potatoes. Then that moaning or whatever sound he was making, cracked me up. When he was talking to Rampage, he didn't know what happened or where he was.

Then a few fights later the guy from Mississippi that lost, in the post fight interview, his face was a mess.

Just rewatched next weeks promo and it looks like they send someone home I wonder who screws up.

Evidently someone has a skin disease and thats why they get sent off. Supposedly its Paul Bradley, who signed with EliteXC.

I always thought they were but I think when Forrest beat Shogun it put him in that class.

Yeah, it was Paul to go, herpes on his neck.

Can't believe Jess never got that choke on Dolce in the first round. He finally got it in nice and deep when he did.

I have to agree, that was a pretty crappy fight overall. It was pure wrestling that was never good wrestling.

Any idea what happened with the limo window being smashed out? Some one's getting kicked out. Hopefully it's that jackass who ****ed himself.

He's such a jackass.. i'm glad he's gone. He was a decent fighter... but i think either of the 2 finalists could have beaten him anyway. I like Amir.. he reminds me so much of Forrest when he was on TUF1. C.B can be so arrogant sometimes.. and although he's got alot of talent he's got to work his ass off on cardio, cause both of his last fights he was exposed for being gassed in the 2nd round.
