I'm picking Rashad

Watched him in his training for his fight and I gotta say, he looked damn good.

Rampage didnt look that phenomenal...his trainer said he was doing the best of his career but how the fuck would he know? rampage hasnt always trained with them and IMO rampage looked slow in his movements and striking when he was sparring.

I think Rashad wins this fight by TKO either in the late 2nd or early 3rd.

You are probably right but I hope you are wrong.

LMAO!

NoRegret want to make an AV bet on this?

Yeah I wasn't to impressed with the 123 scream he's dead back to the 123 standup workout. But I think he just wanted to look mean in the show but it just mad him look like a very angry slow punching fighter. I'm still picking Page but I'm worried Rashad is just gonna pull a GSP and make this a wrestling match untill Page gets tired and win on points.

I could see Shad sticking and moving his way to a decision but a TKO is a stretch.

but page has never been one to be outwrestled. and by wrestling, Shad will be giving up what many think to his biggest adv in this fight, and that is hand speed.

the thing is rampage is going to catch him its not like page is gonna miss every single punch. rashad will get knocked on his ass and that is a promise by the way rampage is on sportscenter right now.

This fight is a crapshoot for me. I've waffled on this fight significantly over the last year or so it's been scheduled.

rashad will not take page to the ground if he does it wont be for long. rashads training wont mean shit when he gets in the cage its different when guys dont let you take them down and they actually fight back page is way stronger than him and rashad wont back his words up cause he is a bitch. his ass got gassed with silva and his ass will get gassed with page and page will stalk him and knock his ass out.

me too, but im rolling with Page right now.

Rampage has been training hard too. Rampage is gonna catch him and put his ass to sleep

+1 my thoughts exactly.

My only concern was Rampage being out of shape but that doesn't look like it will be a problem.

It's not as if Page can't go 3 rounds, dude has gone 5 and looked just fine doing it. I highly doubt conditioning will be an issue for either guy.

The difference in this fight is going to come down to who has the better chin. Page may have to take a few good shots to land one on Shad's chin but he'll find his target. Nappy time for Rashad.

I want what you and oggy want but I don't see where this training to hard was happening?

I believe Rampage when he says this is the most motivated he's ever been for any fight. You saw what happened when he got motivated to fight Wandy. I also believe him when he says he's in the best shape of his life. I think he's ready to put an end to all the talking and let everyone know that Rampage is still a force to be reckoned with in that division.

yo oggs he was motivated for wandy but those fights between the two are pretty much brawl and the shot he caught wandy with could have easily been him. I believe wandy had one coming rampages way but was wide while pages hit flush. Point is page can put anyone to sleep at 205 if he hits a sweet spot, motivation has little to do with it. I pick page but would not be suprised if shad boxes with angles and when page engages takes page down for points and takes a decision. I am hoping one time in the 3 rd bout page lands a hendo on him.

You can't count Rashad out, i know this. Im excited to see what his gameplan is. If he does decide to exchange i just dont think he'll be conscious for very long, if he uses his wrestling and mixes it up that could be big for him though.

hope shad gets laid out but had to pick him on my fantasy via speed and running backwards winning a dec.

well shad is the more atheletic of the two so by the thought process that one will win on black atheleticness shad has both blackness and atheleticness on his side whereas page is just black

I seen Rashad was working alot on his takedowns and grappling in his training vid that I watched of him.

I think his gameplan is to wear Page down on the ground a coupld rounds and then bang with him the last round.
