Page vs. Ace ?

Quote :

"Rich Franklin needs to watch his mouth before I smack him the next time I see him," Jackson said during a FUEL TV weigh-in special.


"He's a fighter just like I'm a fighter," he said. "He should watch he says. You don't question if a fighter is taking a fight seriously or not. I take all my fights seriously. I'm tired of people saying that."

I got Ace by decision.

HA! Yeah.....

It's not like Rich would need to be worried about being taken down, he's got the speed and movement to outpoint Page.

Page will come plodding forward hoping to land that hook, Rich would have an easy night.

I think it would be a close fight. Franklin is a great counter puncher and although I think if Rampage used his wrestling he would beat Franklin easy...we all know he won't... Yes, Rich got knockout by Andersen and Vitor, but they are maybe the two best strikers in MMA. I know I would favor both them to beat Rampage standing.

And also the fastest.

I mean if Jardine could be competitive on the feet against Rampage, it's not really far-fetched to think Rich would do well. People forget this is not the prime Rampage who used his wrestling and striking in combination.

Exactly, Rich struggled with Forrest because he used his size to control him on the ground, he's not going to have to worry about that with Page.

I like this fight in theory, but it just smells like one of those fading fighter battles that just kinda shows how both are not in their championship form. Prime form, Rampage knocks his head off. But these fights are hard to pick because you never know who looks older on fight nite until they get in the cage.

I like the fight and like Ace even coming off surgery.

rampage all day...

This.

Franklin, after the Bader fight, Rampage still stalks but forgets what to do when he gets to his target.

lol after that performance I like Ace to stop Page.

After that performance I'll take retirement he doesn't deserve to even stand in the cage anymore.
