Rampage vs Jardine?

[Bendiesel]

what are you guys weighing in as far as the outcome goes. im thinking rampage 1st round knockout 1-2 minutes in? jardine = :dead:

 

[scottylook]

Well I am going to have to go with Rampage, I friggin hate the "Dean of Mean" lol.

 

[CopyCat]

Rampage by KO 2nd round

 

[bigwhiteguy29]

rampage 3rd tko i think jardine will weird him out and hard to catch and i think jackson might know he cant lose this fight.

 

[maurice02]

Jardine......2nd round KO. I think Rampage is gonna overlook him and look toward the big picture (even though he said he won't) and Jardine is going to catch him off guard. I hate Jardine with a passion...guy seems like a douche, but I can see him winning this one.

 

[jambarino]

i say rampage by KO in the 2nd round.jardine gets careless sometimes.if houston alexander can KO jardine the rampage surely can.but who knows maybe rampage overlooks him.i hope not i hate the queen of mean.

LOL, thats gold man. Rampage is gonna F**KING walk through Jardine man....Absolutely smash him. Jardine is no joke, dont get me wrong, but the wolf is hungry. he wants that belt back BAD!

man i def believe that. everyone doubted he could even last past the second round with wanderlai. he ****ed him up. this is a new and improved rampage thats focused. hell get the belt back. believe that.

 

[Emerge]

Man, this fight is a ****ing joke.

I hope Rampage destroys him in the first round.

 

[VolcomX311]

I'm pulling for Rampage all the way, but I wouldn't consider the fight a joke. Go Page.

Exactly right. Its the new focus of Rampage thats impressed me. he's always been a bad ass fighter, but now he seems more focused mentally. I mean consider this: The previous 2 fights with Silva the guy absolutely destroyed him to the point where he prob almost ended in the ER. So to go into the 3rd and smash him round one shows some real mental grit, Alot of guys would be defeated before they even entered octagon based on previous fights. He has real belief. The forrest loss opened his eyes and got him serious again! I agree he WILL get that belt back, just a matter of when.....

PS Jardine is a dead man walking. :biglaugh:

 

[Rodja]

2 words for this fight: leg kicks. Page still hasn't learned how to check them and Jardine is not a brawler like Wandy.

 

[VolcomX311]

That's my exact logic as to why I don't consider this fight a joke. Jardine flustered Chuck with kicks and Page got flustered by kicks. If Jardine brings that same game plan, we may or may not see a Page/Forrest 2.

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

I totally agree with ya boys, But we Have to assume his camp is all over that surely? Maybe im just biased cause I like Rampage

 

[VolcomX311]

You and me both, I'm rooting for Page 100%, and I'm hoping you're right.

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

I also think that while the leg kicking was VERY effective against Chuck, he would NEVER shoot, You can see Rampage shooting, picking him up and dropping him straight on his head well, I can see that anyway. lol

 

[Rodja]

Jardine always does well when he is a big dog (e.g. Chuck and Forrest) and he is working with arguably the best camp in MMA. Rampage has great technical boxing, which leaves his lead leg open to leg kicks (his front leg is at a slight angle facing his right). All he has to do is follow Forrest's gameplan of keeping the distance, explode in, and explode out.

We have Rodja to blame if Jardine gets wind of this oke: I totally agree, which is what worries me.

 

[bigwhiteguy29]

jardine will be tough but lots of K.O.s latley damn I am not calling decisions anymore hahaha. Jardine is tricky I hope Page doesnt swing for the fences like Koscheck did on saturday

[OzzY SluGGa]

Rodja.....SHHHHHHH, How do we know Jardines camp isn't trowling the net looking for tips! Dont jinx him
And yes he is working with what many consider to be the best camp going ( I had forgotten that) Damn you again!

 

[bigwhiteguy29]

rodja is the man

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

rodja is the man

I know man, im just mucking round mate

 

[Bendiesel]

nah man. im sure they are all over the legs kicks. since forest shut him down with that. im sure he knows jardine ravaged chuck with them so im almost positive they are watching those kicks. i have no worries. like i said hes a new person and ive never seen him so hungry.

 

[Emerge]

I think this fight is a joke because Rampage never lost to Forrest (in my opinion) and should have had a quick title shot. Now, I understand that his incident with the law might have slowed things down for him. But I don't get why he is fighting Jardine. I simply just don't think the fight should be taking place right now.

As far as how the fight will go, Jardine has a chance if he follows the methods of Forrest as some of you have pointed out. I simply hope that Rampage will work on that seeing as Forrest did damage his leg pretty well. It seems like that would be a priority.

I should also mention I'm biased against Jardine and for Rampage. Lol.

i dont know if im correct but didnt jardine get ktfo in his last fight. i mean smooth out? and yes imo i dont think forrest did what it took to take the belt from rampage. now wanderlai was coming off a win to keith jardine. if rampage beat wanderlei witf is rampage fighting jardine? shouldnt he be in route for a title fight? unless they're beefing up a forest and rampage 2. i dont understand the logic behind it. if jardine lost to silva. why is rampage whos stemming off of a win to wanderlei fighting the loser?:31:

 

[Bendiesel]

retract my statement about jardine getting ktfo in his last fight that was with wanderlei. he won to brandon vera. but that doesnt even put him anywhere close to fighting rampage?

Maybe, maaaaaybe, Dana is taking into consideration Rampage's latest "issues" though they are not directly fight talent related, it may be business related or PR related, who knows, just my speculations. Perhaps Dana wants to see how Rampage's head holds together as he makes his way back in the cage, simply speculations. I didn't read anything anywhere or hear anything through any grapevines, just my thoughts.

I think Rampage definitely has the upper hand, but I don't think it's going to be a cake walk either. I don't put it out of Jardine's reach to win, though I am expecting Rampage to win.

Reckon you might be onto something big fella. This way Dana ca give him a fight that is at least a little credible, while not making it too hard for him. He gets a good look at exactly where he is at. While it is POSSIBLE Dean could win, Im more inclined to believe Jardine is kinda some cannon Fodder (albeit respectable cannon fodder)for Page to get his sh1t really rolling again.....I will now sit back back and wait for Rodja to tear my theory to pieces:biglaugh:

not saying your wrong but in all aspects everyone has a punchers chance. with that said look at what wanderlei did to jardine. in less than a minute. rampage is going to look for weakness and he knows he has a glass jaw. i dont expect jardine to put up a fight. unless he keeps rampage at bay with leg kicks. but then theres always rampages power. i just dont see jardine being able to win this one. oke:

Maybe I'll get lucky and he will be too busy to post....:run:

And Deisel, im with you man. But I just hope Dean doesnt catch him with some goofy, un orthodox sh1t man. he has a strange style.....

I'm not saying my thoughts are anywhere near accurate. I won't even go as far as to say it's "my opinion," I was just thinking out loud. Jardine does have a glass jaw and Page does have heavy hands. I wasn't saying Jardine has a good chance to win, but no fight is 100% fall proof, that's all. I'm all in for Rampage for the record, personally, Jardine reminds me of this guy.

I think Jardine should come off to his fight like that.

LMAO dude. they have a video with way better music to it i just cant find it lol

 

[VolcomX311]

A Rashad/Rampage would definitely be a who has the heavier punch and tougher chin match. I think Lyoto Machida would beat them both. Personally, I don't like Machida that much, my argument is a pretty generic and played out sentiment, too defensive/evasive, not offensive enough, but that's what makes him such a tough opponent. I almost came to blows with my roommate arguing over Machida once (because I hated that guy), but in the end, I couldn't argue that he does get the win and his defensive/evasive style is a primary reason for it.

man to be honest i think itd be a good fight. lyoto is very defensive but weve seen what jackson does to people like that. aka chuck? very defensive counter puncher. he got knocked out. no ones been really able to test lyotos chin so well see what happens with that.

 

[Rodja]

From a marketing perspective, the match-up makes sense because it gives Rampage a legit opponent that will go one of 2 ways: either a brutal KO for Rampage or a war that could go either way. Also, this gives the UFC 2 viable options for a title shot vs Rashad which is either Lyoto or Rampage. Jardine is the fighter that Dana would probably love to cut, but he always resurrects his career with a big upset.

 

[luclyluciano]

What exactly could Jardine have, for Rampage to lose? Leg kicks? They arguably worked for the Forest!

 

[bigwhiteguy29]

jardine will be improved from last time after his loses and barley victory over vera i think hes a good guy to face cuz very different style then wandy so it will get him ready for jardines partner rashad. i think dana is on rampages side because he can make more money off him so maybe sort of a stepping stone andl earning experience to a soon title shot you know what i am saying. and its good for jardine cuz if he wins hes going to get bank and even higher. it might be one sided but its not that stupid of a match up.

true jardine earnd that spot

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

Im still mentally recovering from Wandy losing to Rampage :-(

I was so devastated i could have cried. But i like Page, so I hope he smashes Deans ugly ol face in:lmao:

I'd like to see Forrest vs Lyoto before any more hype is built.

I somewhat agree with your logic behind the marketing perspective, but I argue solely as a fan of the sport (and more importantly a fan of Rampage).

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

I wanna see Lyoto's chin tested......

I hope so. Jardine has pulled off some ridiculous wins before he went to sleep at the hand of VS. I can't get into him yet. He needs some personality. His lack there of comes of cocky and I think he met a chuck liddel who had personal problems at the time and now he thinks he's something special. Just because you train with Sugar R. Evan's doesn't mean you are a great fighter. If Rampage is as ready as he was with Chuck and/or VS then Jardine will be sent to Affliction. jk.

Yeah your right mate, Jardine is a funny one, he has beaten some big names, but no one seems to respect him all that much. And yeah, just cause you train with sugar doesnt make you great (though it would help!)
I never usually pick fights cause its just too hard, but I just cant see page losing this man....i really think he is gonna F**king destroy him......I mean easily, first round. And i never say **** like that!
Go Page! and then i wanna see him put Sugar in the intensive care unit cant stand sugar! Though i cant deny he is a awesome fighter.

 

[Bendiesel]

rashad is a good fighter. he caught chuck and he had forrests number. i still dont think he will be able to out slug rampage. thats for sure. imo

 

[Emerge]

As much as I love rampage I hate to disagree with you guys. I think Rampage is in for a hell of a fight with Evans.

 

[VolcomX311]

I was amped when Rashad beat Forrest, but not so much because I liked Evans so much or disliked Forrest so much. It was a satisfying revenge for Rampage (in my own head).
