"The fight between Rampage and Forrest Griffin (UFC 86), and I liked, also, of Shogun defeating Liddell. What I like in this sport is that the level is so high that you never know who will win", said Stallone, who examined the growth of the Mixed Martial Arts around the world and gave advice to the fighters.
