is seeing the feud between Rampage and Rashad grow and grow, knowing the fight isn't going to happen. :verysad
I wouldn't count out seeing them fight once Rampage realizes being a Z-list actor is not a good career move in the very short prime of an A-list fighter.
Hopefully he realizes this before he is out of his prime. It would be a shame to see this fight when one of them are not at their best. I was pumped for this fight to happen.
Fight would have been best the PPV right after the season had ended. Gonna lose a lot of hype when it eventually happens most likely
Yea, no question there; it will be like how Hughes vs Serra lost it's steam. Jackson coming back won't be in the best shape, won't be given any favors by Dana in terms of warm up fights, nor should he for his actions. I don't know if Rampage would have won if the fight took place as scheduled, Im fairly sure he will lose if/when it happens and he still has the idea of acting in his head; it will be an "out" mentally for him when things get hard, both in training and the fight. I think Rashad would be the clear favorite if the fight ever goes off; I think it would have been about even if it went down as planned, maybe Rampage as a mild favorite, but even then I would have picked Rashad to have pulled it off. Rashad fights smarter, learns quicker, gameplans better, and has better coaching. Rampage hits harder and has better boxing in general, but he fell in love with it too much despite being a very good offensive and defensive wrestler; remember "Slampage"? Rashad would have sort of circled away, picking spots for me kicks, and then shot for a takedown. If he got it he would probably grind out a decision, if he didn't he would have had to avoid Rampage's better and bigger punches and focused on kicks, which Rampage is terrible at defending.
I think Roy Nelson will win the finale too. He loves that Hughes crucifix position (Yea I know Rogan calls it the "Salavery" and Salavery did do it a few fights before Hughes, but Hughes made it famous and used it better and in bigger fights) and could probably get it or somethig else equally dominating and get the sub or TKO.
I don't really like Roy, he pisses me off for some reason. I think its because he just lays on top of someone and pounds, then claims to be "exciting" to watch after he wins. I find nothing exciting about him. I'll give him credit for winning and all that of course, and he will probably win the finale. I'm just saying he's not my favorite fighter out there.
He does not just "lay there" he takes people down, uses his legit BJJ blackbelt to obtain a dominant position, and finishes fights.
All Evans and Jackson did was posture off in each others ugly mugs, blurting out the same crap over and over. It got real old real quick. Shut up already and fight! I am soooo glad that cocky Limey got smashed. I hope Big country breakfast wins the contract. Simply to irritate the ZUFFA brass, who clearly want no part of Nelson in the UFC.
All I know is that UFC dosn't want to see Nelson win. He is Fat...and UFC wants their HW too look like Gods. Nelson must know that he will need a KO too win.
i dont think rashad can take rampage out.....rashad is not ready for those type of punches.....he think machida took huim out....a rampage punch will make him think about a career change. As for the rest.....i was hurt bigbaby lost.....but i was ok with who he lost too.....i like brendan....he seems to be a level headed guy and seems like he can bring alot to the fights. i want bigbaby to take mitrone out.....simply because it wouldnt look got to get in someones face to defend a freind only to get your butt kicked.....if he can defend the punches...there is no stopping him..... kimbo just learn how to fight on th ground
