As much as I admire Quinton Jackson, I just don't think he CAN win against Wanderlei Silva. He's had two oppurtunities to do so, both of which he lost badly, both via stoppages. I don't think this match will be any different than their other two matches - maybe it will be a little more competitive, but Jackson is stopped in three.
the only thing that makes this interesting is if page will use the cage to take wand down and grind a decision
the first two fights were very close. the main reason Silva won the first two fight's were his striking which is suited to fighting in a ring, if any fighter in the UFC faced Silva in the ring i think he would win. the cage suites rampage because he is a strong guy he can take a clinch and take silva to the side of the cage and take out silva's most effective weapons. Rampage is strong enough to take him down and then wrestle bbj or stike, so it's still very close if Rampage can manage to do that. one rule that will give Rampage a massive advantage over Silva is they are fighting MMA rules and not valetudo, Rampage is the best finisher the reason he went on a 23 fight streak is because he could finish fights. because the fight will be mma he wont be able to finish the fight as easily. this fight is going to be very very good.
Close? What fight were you watching? Both times Rampage lost he got mauled in Wandys Thai clinch. To be honest the fact that its in the ring or a cage is immaterial as both guys locked horns and didnt even use the ring. Wandy loses advantages like foot stomps and soccer kicks when on the ground which Rampage hardly ever used. But his Muay Thai clinch was Rampages bane. As long as he stays away from it he CAN counter Wandy and take the fight too him.
The second fight was pretty close until Rampage got caught by a right hand which hurt him big time and Wandy finished the fight. The first was not close at all
^ ya but page just gets ****ed up anytime he fights chute boxe guys. shogun ran through him. ninja should have won that fight he ****ed page up but lost a bs decision. page's kyptonite is mauy thai using brazillians. wand will win.
Wandy split his wig with a nasty knee that left him hanging out of the ring and semi-concious! Not close in my eyes at all :yep
there is no way this fight is going to a decision, somone is going to get hurt in this fight. Rampage could win by slam or sick strike, and Wandy can win by sick KO by strike, knee or high kick. could very well be the best fight ever.
Exactly maybe even better then their 2nd fight. Both guys are backed agianst a wall right now another loss almost kills there Championship hopes.
Come on man you know Wandy and Rampage they may be catious for a minute you know to see where each other are at during this stage of there careers but once contact is made those warrior instincts they have will come out and a war will take place agian.
