    Rampage does'nt want to fight Rashad.

    I don't know what everyone else was watching but at the end of that staredown there was some genuine heat and all i saw was Rampage backing down.

    I'm not saying Rampage is terrified of Evans :lol: but he did brake eye contact and backed down at the end.

    Now he wants some time off and Machida is getting the shot.

    Rampage turned down a title shot!

    Rampage did'nt win that staredown.

    Evans was already ready to fight and Rampage saw it in his eye's.

    When have you ever seen Evans really hurt?

    Rampage has looked like **** lately (I don't care about the Wand fight) and Evans right hand and head kick is harder than anything Rampage has.

    That head kick he landed on Salmon :shock:, that right hand he landed on Chuck :shock: showed that he has some of the most powerful stikes in the game.

    Also his G & P is more powerful than Rampages.

    Evans is a better, more well rounded fighter than Rampage now.

    ehhh
    you are not serious i hope tuffnutz? You do know, that Dana White wanted Rampage vs Evans at UFC 96, but Rashad didnt want to fight, claiming that he wanted more time to prepare?
    Ok, because Rampage brake eye contact at the end mean that he lost this?
    wtf, Ricky Hatton got the better of Floyd in all those staredown stupidness, what the **** did happen?
    you are reading too much into it.

    I can't remember much of the fight tbh and both fighter's are two different fighter's now.

    Listen, i'm getting on the Sugar Wagon now so let me have some fun. :p

    Seriously though, looking at both fighter's lately you've gotta go with Evans.

    Evans is on top of the world right now and is improving all the time, where as Rampage is a bit ****ed mentally imo.

    Remember it was you that lost to me first. We are 1 and 1 on bets so shut your pie hole. I think machida will win by decision.

    Rampage desperately needs to get back to his wrestling. For too long he has simply been a boxer who knows how to defend the takedown, subs etc

    I'm really looking forward to seeing a boxing wrestler. A true blend of fistic fire power but also someone who will dump you on your arse.

    Truth. Rampage fell in love with his striking when he realized he can punch. Its really limited he's offensive arsenal although he's clearly had great success and is a fantastic puncher.

    Plus watching him power bumb the **** out of people in PRIDE was way too cool.
    And if you want to see a wrestler that can box somewhat look no further than a prime Dan Henderson. Dude has heavy hands a great overhand right and a sound left hook.

    Rampage is a wrestler who has fallen in love with his standup. A highly exciting fighter, but the Light Heavyweight division has evolved so much he can't really hang with the elite.

    The problem is, he realised he could punch, got some sick ko's like Chuck BUT then everyone else realise he could punch and you had guys like Forrest taking his legs out, Rashad wrestling him etc His punching used to be good, he used to have an adavanced defence in comparison to other fighters who didn't know how to defend. Now his boxing looks limited, there is nothing slick about it. Opponents know he is looking to take your head off. It's hard to ko someone who is wary of your power from the start.

    Henderson could punch but he sort of mauls people, he falls into clinches etc Boxing/Greco wrestling. Same as Couture and a bit like Fedor. That's cool but I'm talking about a strength based wrestler like Rampage who would pick you up and dump you. Like Hughes, guys who could slam you.
