That's where I make my points. He doesn't compete in either by itself. But I can't think of anyone who is better at either in his weight class for MMA/
His camp also maintains that his BJJ os amazing, but he only uses it for defense.It would be interesting to see what Couture would do with Page wrestling-wise at 205, but Page has out-muscled explosive dudes like Arona and Randleman.
Wrestling, I might agree, but BJJ, no way. Arona, Lil Nog, and plenty of others are better than him at BJJ, even in MMA.That's where I make my points. He doesn't compete in either by itself. But I can't think of anyone who is better at either in his weight class for MMA/
Oh, I agree with that Reap, but like you said from a BJJ standpoint they are both better than him, and that was the issue at hand.If I am not mistaken, Arona was doing well with him prior to the brutal slam. I would agree that from a BJJ standpoint alone Arona and Lil Nog are better, but IMO they fight in a cage now Page beats both of them
Go re-read the thread. I'm not confused, some of the thoughts you're attaching to me are Size's or someone elses. I even clarified that I knew what he was getting at(which he didn't directly express) a few posts back.The two of you are arguing over different points. Alexander's issue was the issue of calling Rampage's wrestling or JJ skills world class. In that, from a disciplined and technical point of view from either disciplines (wrestling or JJ) Rampage shouldn't be considered world class. I agree that the fighters Alexander brought up are better disciplined at their respective strong points of either wrestling or JJ., then Rampage is. However, Mouth's point was that Rampage's wrestling and JJ are world class in the sense that he can dominate world class wrestling & JJ guys in the MMA arena.
At least that's what I've deciphered, no offense if I've misplaced words in your mouth. Just trying to bring some clarification.
Are you fvcking serious? I give up, you're not bright.Volcom.... Nail... Head. Thanks.
He still has better BJJ in MMA than Rampage. Look at all the BJJ he's displayed in MMA, taking peoples backs, advancing position, punishing from a dominant position that he gained from using BJJ passes. Rampage is a beast, but I still think Arona has better BJJ and so does Lil Nog. As a side note, Arona had Rampage in his guard and punished him, Page may have been sleeping for a second.Arona doesn't sub anyone really, in MMA or ADCC. He just controls position well.
I remembered it being pretty boring. Can you give me a refresher.Tito v. Arona in ADCC was fun to watch......
Yeah, I'd like to see that again for sure. Is Arona fighting in M-1 at the next event?Alexander I can;t argue that point. It is a fight I would certainly like to see again.
This will actually be the first show I matchmake on my own. Some guys from NJ are coming here and want me to run it. I'll get 12% of the gate if we go thru with it. Shows name is "Batai-K" and I'll probably hold it in the Hard Rock. This is just my test run as the gym I am with wants me to do this for them starting in October. So if I can do my trial run with free money I figure I may as well.What is your event called, and when is it? I miss Pride too. When are they gonna bring over some of the japanese LW's? I wanna see Penn/Aoki, Sakurai/Stevenson, Sherk/Gomi, etc.
WW. Watching him toss Neer around like a rag doll in Osceola Iowa is something I will never forget.Let us know how your event is coming along. Roughly when would this even be?
That sucks, I hope they get Gomi, or maybe Gomi can go to EliteXC. What org did Aoki sign a fight with?
Does Thompson fight at WW or MW now?
I have no clue what thread this is:blink:man, what ever happened to the original thread topic lol.
The Goat openly admitted today he doesnt feel he could hang with GSP right now.JZ/Aoki was supposed to be on NYE, but JZ was injured so Aoki fought that judo guy. Maybe the fight was just postponed, and will be on the next card.
I'd much rather see Gomi in the UFC, but re-match with Diaz, Noons, Alvarez. I'd love to see Semtex drop to 10 pounds and fight Gomi.
Thompson is a huge WW.
just one of the ones you argue in :rasp:I have no clue what thread this is:blink:
I've always thought Gomi was more of a ground guy, even though he won most of his fights on his feet. I can't really tell how good Gomi is. A lot of his knock outs "SEEEM" to be random, wild punches (don't jump on me if I'm way off, I said seem).The Goat openly admitted today he doesnt feel he could hang with GSP right now.
Gomi is severly overrated in my eyes and off the juice he has no strength. I think Noons would beat him on the feet.
Exactly, and the Threads you're referring to were directly on top each other, makes arguing very convenient.just one of the ones you argue in :rasp:
I didn't want to be the one to say it, but that's what I thought.Gomi just hits hard and has a good chin, nothing spectacular, IMO.
Fvck yeah, I'm there. :head: Maybe I'll boo Fedor for Alex, but cheer Aleks' bunny-hopping, of course. :twisted:Next M-1 event will be here in Illinois (Allstate Arena in Rosemont IL). I was talking to Monte yesterday about Eilers/Imes or Pendergarst headlining my next event here so I tried to get info from him. Only thing I could ger him to admit was to Fedor/Schilt and Aleks/Barnett. I really miss PRIDE.
OK, I won't boo, unless Van Damme is with him. :nono:Why would you want to boo the greatest living human being?
What did you hear about HCF? Have you been talking with the matchmaker or the promoters?
That was very informative. You were supposed to go along with my joke.OK, I won't boo, unless Van Damme is with him. :nono:
I can't remember exactly what it was, but I saw it on Sherdog.
Your joke was weak so I ignored it. Try a Benoit reference next time, or MY "studio lifter" jokes. :twisted:That was very informative. You were supposed to go along with my joke.
Agree 1000% this dude puts his heart on his sleeve. I hope he kicks ass. If anything he's fun to watch.I like Chris Leben.. This guy is crazy.. He was awesome on the 1st show..
You just like him cause he looks like you:twisted:Agree 1000% this dude puts his heart on his sleeve. I hope he kicks ass. If anything he's fun to watch.
