    Rashad always seems to be losing his fights on points only to make a stunning comeback knocking his opponent out. Or thats how the last couple of his fights have gone.

    I just can't see him hanging back losing rounds and then KOing Quinton. You need to be super aggressive with Rampage constantly being in his face and imposing yourself on him. Moving away, throwing sparseful amount of punches/kicks isn't going to work. Rampage will be in Rashads face the entire time, throwing hard punches at him, clinching him, taking him down etc etc

    Rashad can't led Rampage win rounds off him, and just out of the blue get a KO, Rampage has too good a chin for that. He needs to be worn down.

    So on this basis, I see Rampage winning a decision.

    I used to say the same thing about Rashad myself. He does keep wining though & although he isn't the best in any 1 part of the game he is well rounded & that's why he wins fights IMO.

    I voted for Rampage simply because I think he's got the experience & chin edge and I think this fight will be won & lost in an exciting striking match.

    Who knows, I could be wrong & maybe Rashad can take it to the ground and get a ref stoppage or pull out a sub......................

    pull out a sub? that's a joke lol? never attempted a sub in the UFC and, his GnP might have improved, but he sure wont be able to take Rampage out with GnP.

    Rashad has solid wrestling...............I could see an armbar or a choke out.

    Still favor Rampage's experience & chin.

    sure, Rashad has very good wrestling, but you can be SURE that he wont win with an armbar. Rampage is just too experienced for that, and Rashad dont have those sub skill vs a vet like Rampage
