Rampage was PISSED at the end because he was forced to show a bit of fear. Round 1 to Evans. I'm not sold on Rampage anymore tbh. He was'nt much cop against Griffin, blew out a shot to **** Wandy and looked sloppy and gassed against Jardine. I felt that the staredown with Rashad was the typical hype BS that we get but there was some genuine heat at the end and Rashad put a bit of fear into Rampage. I flet that Rampage backed down in the end and Rashad won that round. Evans is seriously confident about wining this fight and i think he will win.
I was rooting for Rampage to win tonight... but I still wish that Machida got the shot against Evans.
Damn, there are so many Rampage Nuthuggers on Sherdog. They are convinced that Rampage got the better of the staredown, when what i saw was Rampage standing down. :yep Yeah and it's absolute bollox that Machida is being ****ed over but he'll definetly get the winner of Rampage vs Evans. I hope Machida wins that mother ****ing title, holds onto to it forever by putting on borefest performances buy clear wins, just to **** off Dana White and the F Bros.
Yeah Rampage is hilarious. But when's he gonna get back to powerbombing people through the ring? He's more like a boxer than a powerbombing beast.
Hell yeah, I wanna see some slams a la the Sakuraba and Arona fights. He seems to have forgotten his wrestling, which is a shame as it was a strong part of his game and would give him an extra dimension with which he can beat opponents. I think it would especially be useful against an elusive fighter like Lyoto Machida. If he could grab Machida and slam him, he could try to keep him down and gnp to get points while avoiding submissions. Standing, Machida would most likely be too elusive for Ramapage to catch as he isn't the fastest of fighters and won't be able land his power punches.
Jackson looked him dead in the eyes, stood still and was more vocal. It's only at the end that Rampage seemed to conceed and Evans seemed to get angry. Rashad looked pretty big. I was quite suprised. Shoes could have attributed to extra height but I was still suprised.
Erm, how did Rashad 'win' that staredown exactly? :huh All he could do was mumble the same **** over and over. He sounded like a ****ing broken record if you could even hear him. And both of them got angry. Rashad was pissed because his bumchum got beaten and Rampage seemed angry because of the disrespect Rashad was showing, which pisses him off hugely. It really just proved how much of a **** Rashad is and I quite liked him before. Regardless, they're professionals and **** like this shouldn't have a negative effect on them. If anything they should just want to beat each other that little bit more.
I didn't think either guy was scared or pissed. I was a bit suprised at the size of Rashad tho. I also don't think it would be a good idea for rashad to put his hands down and give Rampage a freebie, thats a sure way to wake up asking wear your belt went. I hope he does it because I hate Rashad. Rampage I think will come into this fight looking alot better then he did last night, Jardine makes everyone look abit off. With that said Rampage needs to bring back the slams and NOT do soooooooo much boxing. I mean at this point why even fight MMA ifall you want to do is box. **** he'd make ahelluva lot more money boxing. So Rampage please for the love MMA....... bodyslam someone!
It was so contrived and set up; although they did eventually get mad at the end, but I'm sure 15 min after they could have went and had a drink together.
All Evans was doing was cursing, Rampage seemed to be the more comfortable one in there. I think Evans is too well rounded to lose this one but sure hope he does I like Rampage.
