Quinton Jackson vs Rashad Evans (Your Picks)

Who do you you want to win and who do you think will win?

Want to win=
Think will win=

Want to win= Rashad Evans
Think will win= Quinton Jackson

Want to win= Rashad
Think Will Win= Rampage

want = page
think= shad by speed

Rashad's camp looks ridiculous -- Shane Carwin and Mo Lawal are way better training partners than anyone the Wolf's Lair can offer. To be honest, after watching Rashad's camp footage, Quinton's looked a little pathetic. 7 and a half minute miles? Are you kidding me?

Want - Page
Think - Page

Rashad can hit Page all he wants on that granite chin...all it'll take is one flush shot from Page and it'll be nappy time for Rashad.

Page looked good last night towards the end of the primetime show. Looked like he was getting in a great mindset for the fight. These dudes truly hate each other. Can't wait for this fight.

Want= Page
Think= Rashad


Reasoning= I think Rashad is gonna play it smart and only strike to setup the takedown. I feel like Rashads wrestling will win this fight. I'm hoping Page will land a shot before Rashad can get his gameplan going but I think it's far more likely that Rashad wins on points or finishes Page with GnP.

Now if Rashad stands with Page I feel a whole lot better about Page's chances. Am I underestimating Quinton's TD defense? I hope so

Want- Rampage
Think - Rampage

KO

So Rashad couldn't hold down a Thiago with a fucked up back despite getting multiple takedowns but he's going to hold down Rampage?

Rampage has never been into training and isn't stopped him from being a fuckin beast for years now. All the traininig Rashad does isn't going to help his chin

Want=Rampage
Think= Rampage

Rashad got a gift when he caught that kick and the ref stopped the fight with Forrest to win the belt.

WTF? i will disown you lol!

Want to win= Rampage
Think will win= Rampage, cuz i like him. He's funny

Want to win= RAMPAGE Think will win= RAMPAGE

Rampage on both counts.

For all his shit-talk and bravado, I have no doubt that Rashad will fight the same way he did vs Chuck. He's going to be flat-out running, which may frustrate Rampage just like it did Chuck. Only difference is that Shad won't be able to drop Rampage like he did the shopworn Liddell.

I kinda fear that despite all the hype, this fight may be kind of boring with Rashad not wanting to engage in any way. I hope that's not the fact and I have been wrong a bajillion times in the past. I hope I'm wrong again.

by the way krazy horse i loved the hightlight you put up i had to show some love for it.

I'm with Krazyhorse on this one. He brings up a good point. When was the last time Shad was is a entertaining fight? He'll try his best to decision Page.

I "want" it to look like the two pasties in my avatar because I think they're (Shad & Page) both dumb shits... I "think" Rampage brutally rapes Rashad.

Rampage

Rashad is smaller and has a possibly questionable chin but otherwise he is better, smarter and faster than Rampage across the board. Rampage looks like a J O K E. Rashad unless he catches one that exposes a weak chin should win this easily with speed and smarts. Quinton won't be able to walk after this fight with the leg kicks he will take. bet that right now.

I want Page to win and I think he will win by KO at anytime in the fight.

jardine kicks harder than rashad right? it didnt seem to effect rampage in that fight.

Page on both.

though I am very torn on my pick. I was leaning heavily page prior to tuf, heavily toward shad after tuf, and then totally split post thiago.

Page is clearly the stronger tougher fighter, but I think Shad will have a speed and gameplan adv.

I think it will be a standing affair, and shad will be on his horse, I see the times in which he jumps into the pocket as being few and far between. Will he score enough while on the run to win? I'm going to say no. If Page can't catch him he might just win via aggression.

i watched UFC Primetime last night and was thinking along the same lines. the level of talent that Greg Jackson has compared to Wolfslair isnt even close...and when Rampage said about the 7 1/2 minute miles...i was thinking, thats not incredible fast. i think thats the only saving grace for Rashad, his training camp...

but here we go...

think will win = Rashad
hopes will win = Rampage with KTFO

Whoa... Simiroll in the house. Welcome aboard.

I will take Shad all the way. Page is to stupid, slow, and as Shad pointed out, his balloon sized head is the perfect target for Shad.
