Ended up breaking about even. This fight cost me 41,500, but I won quite a bit on Stevenson and Koscheck.

I actually had is scored as dead even, but it depends how you see rd 3. It wasn't much of a rd, and could have went either way. If you score it Griffen and not Rampage, Griffen wins and that is what it looks like happened. This was a WAR!! And griffen said right afterwards that he has no problem doing it again, very classy in his win and Rampage was equally classy in defeat.

Can't wait to see the rematch!

all my buddies who watched scored it for jackson.
