Rampage Jackson is hot garbage

Hendo then responded

Sorry, he never responded.

Irrelevant. Rampage isn't in any position to request a fight with Hendo. A fight between Hendo and Ace makes sense in more then one way.

When did he request a fight with him?

Somewhat agree. But the fight makes sense. Its an interesting bout that will sell. 2 legends. It gives Hendo a chance to avenge a fight and keeps him active yet there isn't a ton of risk like rematching Shogun or taking a bad equally undeserving fight versus Machida.

Page vs Hendo would be fun.

Greg Jackson should kiddnapp Rampage 8 years ago and turn him into the fighter he always could have been, that's saying something considering he's one of the best LHWs ever.

He is the fighter he should have been. Jacksoning up Rampage? How are you not banned at even suggesting this. Nigga unified the Pride titles and was one of the best boxers ever in MMA. He just got older. He never would have thrown a lot of kicks I don't think.

Would have turned him into a better fighter and you know it, this isn't like telling Wanderlei to be a point fighter, it's helping Rampage become the fighter he could have been...

I totally disagree. He was the fighter he could have been, his body movement and counter punching in his athletic peak in 2007-8 were some of the best ever and until he fought lyoto machida win or lose he rocked every fighter he had ever fought with punches. jackson wouldn't have been able to hone his skills like Ibarra. i dont think jackson would have made wandy a better fighter either if chutebox is replaced

Ibarra refined him. He was an MMA boxer. Jackson doesnt do anything better.

He rocked and beat everyone with natural ability not learned/trained ability, Jackson would have made him a more complete fighter and I'm far from a Jackson fan, Rampage could have used that kind of discipline in his career.

And I used Wandy as a example of how Jackson wouldn't have improved him vs Rampage, one could have used the discipline training, the other not so much.

LA I am shoooocked to see you say this when the technical differences in Ibarra era Page and Pride era Page are freakin amazing. He couldn't fight for shit in Pride. Rampage got by on ability then, but Ibarra is what made him into the monster on his UFC run. If he had learned those punching skills and maybe then went to Jacksons sure...
