Why Didn't Rampage Get An Immediate Rematch After The Loss To Forest?

[7th]

This was the most insane hyped up shit at the time....

no it wasn't. Chuck just had his chin cracked by rampage

Fuck immediate rematches. The only one that has deserved one is Anderson Silva for having 10 defenses.

 

[Brockster]

There were no such thing as an immediate rematch back then.

Zuffa wanted the PRIDE guy on the outside looking in.

We also should recognise that, in order to be consistent with what we now suspect about Jon Jones*, we have to have serious questions about the career achievements of Forrest Griffin*.

Because he went nuts shortly after the fight. It also didn't help his cause that the UFC's posterboy had a fight lined up (that most people thought he'd win) which would have allowed the UFC to make a huge end of year fight.
