Rampage is not a smart bet against Rashad.

He looked fat at UFC 110, and is still repeating the idea that he is on his way out of the UFC and MMA. He is still cute though. He isn't motivated for this fight and wants to continue acting.

Taking Page in this fight is setting yourself up for failure. He will under perform due to being fat, slow and untrained.

Good thing i'm not a gambling man.

Rampage via KO

There's also the fact that Rashad is just a plain better fighter than he is.

Chorky, in the last two weeks you have said things that have me questioning your views as they pertain to reality. Rashad being a better fighter than Rampage is laughable. Rashad was barely able to keep Thiago Silva on the ground, how do you think he's going to outwrestle Rampage(in a perfect world), who at times outperformed Dan Henderson on the ground? Great wrestling often negates great wrestling and what it boils down to is standup. You can't tell me in all honesty that Rashad will outstrike Rampage(in a perfect world remember) because it just won't happen.

Based on talent Rampage wins. Based on the reality of him being very much out of shape from the looks of things at 110 when he was in Bispings corner, I'd say Rashad outworks him due to the circumstances. But a focussed and on weight Rampage murders Rashad.

I would still give an out of shape Rampage a decent shot at KOing Rashad. If he was in shape I would lay money on it

Damn I think rampage at his best versus Rashad is still a great fight. Alot of you guys are talking like rashad isnt shit lol. Rashad will give Rampage all he wants although I still think he beats Rashad in a close fight.

I can see this fight going either way really. Tough one to call. If Page isn't motivated and is out of shape then Rashad will beat him. I myself can see the excuses pooring out of his mouth already. He just sounded like he was ready for some excuse making. He just seemed negative. Could have just been the questions he was asked though? I myself only saw him for a sec a few times at 110 and I couldn't tell if he was fat. He looked the same to me, but all I remember is his face.

Never was a buyer of rashad. He never beat an elite LHW during their best. I mean forrest was a fluke champ. He caught chuck who clearly won the first round of that fight. He had the better gameplan that night but I still think chuck would KO him. Rampage(even though he is a spoiled whiner now) is a wwwwaaaayyyy better fighter then rashad. Only way he loses is if he beats himself.

Agree 100% Wolf

Besides speed and smarts Rashad has absolutely nothing on Rampage. Sadly that might be enough because it seems Rampage's head is in the clouds.

If Rashad fights like he did against Thiago, he's going to sleep.

Agree I dont ccare where Rampages head is at

we got Rashad over hear worrying about the pronounciation of his awful nickname, "Suga not Sugar" before he goes to fight Thiago so its a push

Rampage > Rashad

Yo those negs weren't valid here. Usually chork is wrong, but there are a lot of reasons to think Rashad might be able to beat Rampage anyway. Speed kills.

Rampage wins due to athleticism and decent boxing. Rashad is a bad match for him. I have waffled on this fight a lot but ultimately Rashad would have been my favorite in this fight due to speed and smarts.

I cant believe every is just now talking about Rampages head being in the clouds lol. When havent they been?? He is still 1 hell of a fighter.

I'm just saying that I think Rashad's gonna leg kick Rampage into oblivion. Also, I'm not sure there are many fighters worse than Rampage off his back. Seriously. He's terrible. Not even close to as good as Thiago Silva is off his back. If Rashad gets on top of Rampage, fight's over. Book it.

I think it will be a standup war. Not much on the ground.

Rampage has good scrambles from his back, but Forrest did find success in that fight. Leg kicks will set up a big head kick.

Good Call Wolf! Rashad has shown good head kicks before and that could be a key to the fight if he lands a big 1.

Rashad has as good a shot as ever to beat Rampage

I just completely disagree on the Rashad is a better fighter than Rampage overall

Agree I think Rampage is better overall but I think the gap is alot closer than most.

Rampage is probably better described as a bigger fighter than a better fighter.

Wolf u dont really think rashad is overall better than Rampage do you??

Was this a joke?
