Dana pissed with Rampage and says no rematch

Of course, Dana takes exception to somebody telling it like it is. Rampage felt Machida was the better fighter...he would know right? i mean he was the one actually in the cage fighting while the promoter is hoping the bigger draw wins.

I don't believe for one second that Dana did not want Rampage to win that fight.

I was alittle surprised Rampage acted like that also.

If Machida had dominated then i'd understand Rampage doing that but Machida only won the 3rd rd in my opinion.

I'm not. Rampage almost always admits he should of lost when he gets a questionable decision. He did for Ninja. I think he did for Lindland, and he did it again for Lyoto. He's also right each times...Rampage should have lost all three of these fights.

No. Rampage won the 1st and 2nd rounds, 2 of the judges agreed and Dana agreed also.

Most fight fans had it 29-28 Rampage also.

if you give Lyoto round 1 you virtually give it to him off of 1 exchange, and in that exchange Rmapage countered it

Whatever. The way Jackson see's it. Machida did far more in the final round than Rampage did the entire fight. Jackson comes from a palce where he loses that fight on every card..Rampage also believes thats the way fights should be called. So, Jackson does not feel like he won the fight..who are we to tell him he's wrong? The way he see's it, Machida scored the only real points in the fight and i agree. Guys like Rampage believe in effective scoring..no way you give that fight to Rampage in that regard.

Machida accomplished more damage, more scoring positions, etc. in the final 5 minutes than Rampage did in 15 minutes. Yet, those 10 points for all that are the same as Rampage got for landing a little uppercut in round 1 and accomplishing a go nowhere takedown in round 2. The ten point must system showed it's flaws. We need effective scoring. It's all Machida there.

how can you make a claim for machida in the first 2 rounds... he did nothing to win them!! 2 rounds to 1 in favor of page, as much as the judging system sucks, it has to be followed

and machida knew this going into the fight!!! its his fault for having a weak ass game plan!!!

and if you say in pride rules machida would have won... yea maybe, or maybe he would have gotten 2 yellows and DQed for no action in the first 2 rounds...

Just think if Rampage had fallen backwards or not recovered so quickly from that knockdown at the end of round 2.

actually most mma sites and analyst scored it for machida.

I can see why Dana would be so upset.... I mean he paid those judges a lot of money for that decision and it seemed like Page was ungrateful for it.
