Calm down, nothing major fellas (and ladies). It's due to the injuries sustained from UFC 86. The full list of injuries is as follows (10 of the 18 fighters):
Rampage isn't as injured as everyone thought. While we know he did take a beating on his left leg and knee, his trainer, Juanito Ibarra said this: "After the fight he had a knot the size of a cantaloupe on his shin. I've never seen anything like it in all my years in the fight game. It was ugly. The next day it went down. Today, there's no bump at all. The doctor said he's fine. It's a deep bone bruise now."
Lyoto Machida made a few statements after Forrest Griffin's win over Rampage: In my opinion, Quinton defeated Forrest, but they give it to Forrest. I think that now they are going to put him against Chuck Liddell to him to take the belt again. I think they prefer Chuck with the belt, he is a former champion, has more marketing and sell more”

It appears that a Griffin Jackson Rematch is in discussion. The question would be will we have to wait for other fights first. White is quoted as saying "Rampage wants a rematch, Forrest said right away it is only right to give Rampage a rematch and it is a huge fight to do again. But there are a lot of great fights now Forrest is champion, the rematch being one of them, so we'll look at that over the next few months."

Quinton Jackson Vs. Forrest Griffin Rampage and the Original Ultimate Fighter both looked ready for war. Jackson with the look of a pitbull about to be let off his chain, and Griffin loose, and smiling excited for his opportunity.
