What do you guys think? IMO I think he may have a few good fights left in him, but after the rashad fight i've started to question it a little bit more. I like page and have been a fan of his since pride but long story short is it time to say his best days are behind him or can he ever make noise again?

He'll never beat Lyoto Machida or Mauricio Rua but if he gets fit and fights often then he could beat anyone else in his division.

I think Page needs to start using his size more, be the guy bullying your opponent against the cage, not vice versa. Page like's to box, but as Shad said, he's too slow and his head's too big. Right now he's clearly out of the top 3, and he's getting up there a bit in age and ring wear, but I don't completely rule out a return to prominence.

Rampage hasn't evolved or added variety to his arsenal, his title contention days are over. He can still hang with Forrest,Tito,Silva and Franklin but the rest will just outclass him.

Ali hit the nail right on the head. I think he could be good again, but he intelligence issues. He is not staying up on the game and if he wants to be a better fighter he needs to go to a real camp. Teamquest, Jackson (even though Rashad is there), anywhere but Wolfslair. He will not truly improve unless he trains like he means it.

This.

If he wants to be at the top of the division again he's going to have to dedicate himself to being a full time fighter. He has the tools to make another run at the belt but he just doesn't have the desire to be a champion.

I don't know what his deal is, I just know what he is capable of and want to see him do that some more.

He'll never be champ again but i see him putting a few more high level LHW's to sleep before it's all over.
