shad already fought page once. dont care to see that fight again knowing page wont be doing much.

now bones and shad, yes i want to see that but still think shad will be outmuscled and be put away

Yeah but that wasnt the REAL Rampage. He was coming off the movie and had a tough weight cut. a rematch would be awesome.

lol, man rampage wont even need to make excuses cus people love making them for him. i like the dude, he is funny and not so bad of an actor but dang. his camp said he was in the best shape he ever was in. he even started the dolce diet and has been on it since because he noticed how quick he was able to get in shape cus of it. was the real rampage the one that lost against gump? or was it the one who couldnt put away a glass chin fighter in jardine? what about the one who played it safe against machida? was that the real rampage. dude has power but hasnt ko'd a prime opponent since liddel 4 years ago. come on now, shad outstruck rampage,overpowered him and outfought him. only way i see rampage winnin a rematch is landing a single ko blow ,wich he could on anyone in the division, but not likely to happen.

He was coming off tons of movie promo shit, that excuse is fairly reasonable,and Forrest beating Page is such a fallacy. Even in the Shad fight, sure Rashad was in better shape, more prepared, but Page had him dead to rights, Rashad was about to be finished and grabbed the back on the shorts (illegal) which is really the only reason he survived, I know Kings knows this. I'll admit Shad did look good in his last fight, but it was against Tito, we can only by the comeback so much...

actually the only reason paged rocked him was because he caught rashad off balance as rashad was goin for a sloppy takedown. even after shad grabbed the shorts page clearly had him in a great position and couldnt capitalize. instead rashad quickly recovered and was able to take page down 2 more times so no , i dont think rashad was close to being completely out. other than the machida fight the only time shad has been really close to being out was in the thiago fight. now there thiago did catch him and hurt him bad. if u were to say thiago had him dead to rights in that fight then yes i agree.only reason shad survived that fight was cust thiago was so gassed. also im not putting much on shad after the tito fight, like u said it was an old tito who was gassed after 3 mins. in the end , once again, excuses are just things people make when one fighter isnt prepared for another one or a fight. shad beat page by coming in more prepared and outworked him and outfought him. unless page lands a single ko shot(wich he could but most likely wont happen) i dont see him beating rashad in a reamatch tito fight or not. rashad is just a better fighter

i also agree the best rampage seen from pride,ufc or whatever was his dec over hendo. i complete forgot about that fight.good stuff

Ugh, forgot I quoted throwdown.., but Rashad survived because he grabbed the shorts, he was about to get GnP'd while rocked, that move saved him, which was illegal, even if Shad fought smart and dominated most of the fight, it doesn't negate the point he could have been finished without that move. And I'm sure we've seen enough fights to know guys can get rocked, recover and win the fight after that, so saying that cause he landed somes TDs he wasn't that rocked doesn't really apply. Remember this was a reply to you basically doggin Page, I simply pointed out that although Shad clearly won, easily Page could have finished him without that move. No reply necessary, I already know it'd be some form of the last post.

Fact. Rashad using the shorts to pull himself into Rampage is the only thing Rashad did that closed the distance and made it so Rampage was unable to continue to land effective punches from the top. I called it during the fight and i think Rogan did as well. It made a huge difference...it made all the difference in that particular situation and that would have likely meant the fight. Not to take away from Shad controlling Page pretty much the other 14 minutes and 25 seconds but an illegal move totally saved Shad in that fight. There are excuses, but then there is cold hard visual evidence and it was evident that Page kind of got jipped out of a golden oppurtunity to finsih EVans via strikes.
