Rampage-Machida in November

You know you're dumb when you can't even spell Machida.

I am glad Quinton finally accepted this fight, but I don't really give him a great chance of winning.

I think this is a bad idea. I wish the UFC would let Quinton rematch Forrest and give Machida a less dangerous comeback fight. Guys are rarely the same after being KO'd the way he was.

I knew page would take it cause he has no choice at this point everyone is tied up or a step down in comp. If page can go after him like rua did he has a shot imo but cant come in like he did in the shad fight thats for sure.

I think you have to have dangerous leg kicks to set-up what Rua was able to accomplish with his hands. Plus, Rua is way more explosive than Jackson. I would hate to see either of these two with two straight losses.

Forrest Griffin, Rich Franklin, Thiago Silva, Luis Cane, Matt Hamill and Brandon Vera are without opponents.

I think the Dragon takes this fight. But Page def has a good chance of winning if he can land a clean shot, I just think Machida will out point Page.

T Silva is fighting Tim Boetsch @ UFC 117

Well, there's still plenty of quality opponents for these guys. Throwing them back into the fire so quickly seems like a bad idea.

I think it's a bad idea too, but because this match up is probably the most one sided fight on paper between any two top five fighters in any weight class. Rampage winning would be a gigantic upset. He should lose this fight 99/100 times.

Rampage you had a nice career. RIP.

Rich has a broken arm, and I doubt either guy would fight him right now. Thiago Silva is up to fight at UFC117 on the undercard. Matt Hamill wouldn't challenge either guy. Brandon Vera isn't even on their radar. Forrest would be a good fight for Rampage but not for Machida. Machida would keep the distance and pick him apart. Machida's style is just all wrong for Forrest namely because Griffin doesn't have one shot KO power. Rampage has a shot if he can bully Machida around and close the distance without getting crippled in the process. If he can work inside he can KO Machida. If not he's dead in the water.

About time...Machida is taking this.
