I think Rampage will blast through Jardine similar to the way Wanderlai did. Quentin is powerful and explosive. He'll bide his time and wait for an opening to spring. Of course the reverse is entirely possible as well. Jardine could keep Rampage at bay with his low leg kicks and grind his way to a decision similar to his fight with Liddell.
Why does everyone seem to forget that Wandy is done? What the **** is going on in these boards. Jardine is a much better at the "MOMENT" than Wand. Wand was Koed by a natural MW a couple of years ago. Rampage Koing him means nothing! Had he beaten Forrest, it would have been impressive but he didnt. The man is overrated, he is strong, but he cannot adapt to anything. I swear if keith presents him with a stylistic problem hes not going to adjust. Hed be whining again at the end
I think Jardine is way underrated. He's got heavy hands, and that awkward style. He has knockdowns on Houston and Chuck, not to mention brutalizing Griffin. I don't know what he was thinking attacking Wandy like that, gave Wandy the oppurtunity to get inside and unleash a shitstorm on him. I still think Chuck should have one that descision, though, had Jardine reeling in the second round, even though the announcers called it a slip, and by the end of the fight Jardine was bleeding out of nearly every orfice of his body.
Rampage got wrestling background. Like chuck liddell nobody talks about his wrestling but he does have a wrestling background. Anyways he wont have to used his wrestling much cuz jardine likes to strikes more than wrestle that is why im picking rampage to win by knockout :good
yikes overrated? i can't call a guy who whoop chuck liddell ass twice-wanderlei silva-dan henderson-ricardo arona-kevin randleman-murillo bustamante and matt lindland azz overratedatsch:rofl:rofl
Rampage was the laughingstock at Pride just a few years ago remember that? From getting beaten up to a pulp. I give him the Arona win. Busta, Lindland (I fell asleep), Hendo, these are all MWs He was gassed up by Dana as the "Man who defeated Chuck" What did Rampage do? Won a snoozefest against a clearly smaller Hendo, beat a way past it Chuck and loss to ****in Forrest Griffin??? Is this what the champion is now in the UFC? One fight he wins, the next he loses? I miss the Tito Days .. Please give Lyoto a shot! Just hope Jardine doesnt pip him.
Think the evidence of the next few days show perhaps Rampage wasn't exactly in rude mental health when he fought Forrest. Jardine doesn't have the stamina to overwhelm him with workrate like Forrest did either.
that's cuz the talent level has gone up. Look at how deep 205 is. Evans-Griffin-Rampage-Machida-Wanderlei-shogun-liddell-thiago silva etc. All are very talented. I wouldn't call him the laughing stock in pride since his only loss are against Sakuraba-one of the best submission fighter in MMA Silva-At the time he was considered a beast Shogun-Trains with silva and just as good and younger Matsui loss was cuz of a DQ-knee in the groin beat Igor vovchanchyn-randleman-bustamante-liddell-arona-minowa
i dont want jardine to win simply because he already said that he is not fighting evans. if rampage win, we get a good card with rampage-evans with the winner taking on machida afterwards
:-( Rampage has wins over Arona, Wandy, Chuck, Henderson (who is as good or even better at 205 than at 185), Bustamante, Lindland, Randleman, Igor. He has good wrestling, standup and gnp, one of the best chins in mma, heavy hands and he's one of the strongest lightheavyweights out there. And he wasn't the "laughingstock" of Pride, he was the second best 205er for a long time. You're just a clueless hater.
It's only a 3 rounder and all Jardine has to do is win 2 rounds and Rampage being a counter puncher for the most part isn't that impossible.
