Man, this is such a shame...
I agree. He has buried his career. It'll take a miracle to come out on top of this situation.He won't fight for a long time, I'm sure. The UFC couldn't put him in a fight until it's all out of the way, or it would be a PR nightmare. He may fight again but not for a few years and never as a top contender IMO.
I'm not aware of the specifics, but it would be along the lines of, within period of legal abortion, not manslaughter, post alloted period of legal abortion, manslaughter. However, I believe I read "12 weeks along" and that seems like the baby might have made the "we recognize you as a person" marker.A lawsuit would be nothing... That's just money. I'm no expert, but this can potentially lead to manslaughter charges... Right?
Dammit, 'Page..
I think he should use his personalty and be a UFC commentator in the future (assuming he keeps his humorous nature after all this). Rampage's personality was a bigger reason for me liking him then his fighting. Rampage for the entertainment, Rogan for the knowledge.I agree. He has buried his career. It'll take a miracle to come out on top of this situation.
Umm, Goldie is for entertainment. :run:Rampage for the entertainment, Rogan for the knowledge.
Rampage is/was one of my favorite fighters, but all this pity for him is getting out of control. Dude went apeshit, starting claiming he was god, then went on a destruction derby is his bigass camo truck that has an 8 foot picture of himself on it. How incredibly stupid. Then he hits a pregnant pedestrian and she has a miscarraige (allegedly) as the result. He is a funny guy and a hell of a fighter, but there is no excuse for the stupid **** he did that day.I hate to say this, but I think we may never see Rampage fight again. This sh!t will linger for a while and the financial burden upon him may be too great for him to bear on top of his family responsibilities. It really is sad because he was really hitting his stride as a true MMAist and had the potential to be champ/top contender for a long time.
Couldn't agree with you more. Especially the last sentence.Does anybody remember when Rampage had his "religious awakening" about 4 yrs ago? Dude went from being his regular funny self to a guy who wouldnt curse, or much less even smile. He was kind of like a vegetable for a while until he came to the UFC, achieved fame in the US, and suddenly he forgot about all the religious **** and he acted like himself again. Dude clearly has issues, and when you tie that in with extreme religiousness it is a recipe for disaster.

Don't talk about Alex like that. He pumped up the best he could for that shot.your avi is creepy...
lol my bad....Don't talk about Alex like that. He pumped up the best he could for that shot.
Yeah, I have no pity for him making such a dumbass decision, I am just sad to see him fall so quickly. This is worse than Bobby Hoffman, but not as awesome as Lee Murray.Rampage is/was one of my favorite fighters, but all this pity for him is getting out of control.

:box: :head: A Lee Murray movie! Amazing...There is a movie coming out about Lee Murray. Dude rules.

Oh, and its not easy to blame bad judgement on mental problems?!!! I'm not into that, unless he is diagnosed bipolar and schizophrenic, then its his ****ing fault. I'm sick of this liberal bullsh*t. I love Rampage, but he most likely caused a miscarriage, thats nothing to brush aside. One:thumbsup:Tough crowd! Wow! Page had a mental and emotional breakdown. I'm not so sure this a conscious well thought out "decision." Considering he has a history of "erratic behavior" I wouldn't be so quick to judge him based on this symptomatic display. Mental health issues are nothing to just dismiss to bad judgement.
Yeah, its all about the money for Dana. 90% of his motives were based on his investment, thats being generous.Rampage been hanging alot with Dana White pre-GSP/Fitch...hanging with fans, joking around, almost kissing babies (pretty weird) Check out Dana's pre-fight blog on you-tube.
Probably a combination of keeping his eye on his investment, Rampage public relations, maintaning Rampage's confidence & sanity this tough time, helping him cope.
I'm from the greatest country in the world! (socialist country that is) CANADA. Toronto!Yeah, its all about the money for Dana. 90% of his motives were based on his investment, thats being generous.
p.s. I had to read your post 3 times before I could understand it. Are you from America? Anyways, take care:thumbsup:

I watched an old Fedor interview by Sherdog where he was asked why he turned down the UFC contract. Fedor stated that it was not acceptable because the UFC could Terminate the contract at anytimeamong many other things. (there were also other reasons why it was not acceptable to him)
I believe that many of the UFC fights are hugely more entertaining than many other MMA organization fights because the fighters know that they must put on a good show or they may be finished in the UFC. Yes it's all about the money...it is a business after all. Any one else notice this about many of the UFC fights, the fighters fight with more of a sense of Urgency?
Lucky:food:
Its already been over a year since Pride went under and it still stings. I miss their theatrics and opening ceremonies.You must have missed the Pride era...and big Timmy's UFC run...
I die a little inside every time I hear the old Pride music.Its already been over a year since Pride went under and it still stings. I miss their theatrics and opening ceremonies.
I die a little whenever I watch Mirco's old highlight vids....I die a little inside every time I hear the old Pride music.
Mirko's HL with Lux Aeterna is what really got me into Pride and to start training MMA.I die a little whenever I watch Mirco's old highlight vids....
Republic of Georgia beat Russia in Judo, at the Olympics. This is somewhat relevant to the MMA forum, eh?
