who do you think is honestly going to win this match? its one for the ages both good technical boxers with heavy hands. im still behind rampage. just wondering everyone elses opinion?:type:
you know im not really sure what your guys reasoning is behind why you guys thikn rashad can knock out rampage. HES ONLY BEEN KNOCKED OUT 2 TIMES IN HIS WHOLE CAREER. his chin is made of ****ing steel. no one has even tested evans chin. and i promise you rampage will.I think that Rashad is a more skillful/technically sound boxer. His ground and pound is great too. Not to say Rampage's isn't. I think his hands are alot faster and deliver more power then Rampage, but Rampage has a better takedown/takedown defense. Rampage has shown more BJJ skills then Evans, but I don't see Rampage taking him to the ground (durh). I say Rashad wins via TKO.
ya. i wouldnt if i was him. get some rest then fight machida when he wins the title. cause im sure thats what would happen hed be in the next slot to title fight. But who knows. they should have thrown the gsp fight in may instead of moving rampages fight up.supposedly there is a good chance rampage isnt taking the fight on only 2 months. It looks like it will be Machida
Machida will take the win for sure. Rampage better get some cardio in for that one. I would have liked to see GSP fight sooner than later too but it does make for a possible ultimate UFC 100. Two title belts on the line? Insane!ya. i wouldnt if i was him. get some rest then fight machida when he wins the title. cause im sure thats what would happen hed be in the next slot to title fight. But who knows. they should have thrown the gsp fight in may instead of moving rampages fight up.
Is he hurt like not fighting for a long time or just not fighting rashad this upcoming UFC?we all know you love rampage hahaha. and i think rampage isnt fighting dude
Torn ligaments in his jaw. 5 weeks of no contact.Is he hurt like not fighting for a long time or just not fighting rashad this upcoming UFC?
On paper, I would give the edge to Rampage. Looking at it logically, though, I believe Rashad will win by TKO.Here is how I break it down:
KO Power-Rashad
Technical striking-Rampage
Takedowns/Defense-Rampage
Camp-Rashad
GnP-Push
Subs-Push
Cardio-Rashad
Chin-Rampage
Improvement Curve-Rashad
Who do I think wins? If it's at 98, then Rashad, but a later date, I give it to Rampage.
Rampage stopped Kevin Randleman's TD's (2x D-1 champ), while Rashad has been taken down by Bisping and Salmon. Rampage's power comes from counters (e.g. Chuck, Wand III), while Rashad's power comes from his attacks and he has KO'd some people ugly recently.On paper, I would give the edge to Rampage. Looking at it logically, though, I believe Rashad will win by TKO.
I'd say a tie in takedown defense and KO power, though. ^
I am aware of the fight card being Machida x Rashad.dude...machida is fighting rashad NOT rampage. rampage turned it down due to rest and recover, minor injury. And he definatly does need a title shot. griffin doesnt deserve a title shot until he beats a guy or 2. griffin needs to fight chuck if chuck beats shogun.
Yes, he was holding Rampage's belt.I thought Forrest Griffin was the one holding the belt when he fought Rashad... My mistake.
And on the other hand, I also thought that Machida is 14-0 in his MMA career. Now he ACTUALLY never lost. No one needs to argue he was robbed by decision against Griffin or anything. He IS unbeaten.
So one has never lost. One lost 2 fights ago, and you have to argue and try to make a point for him that he was robbed in the decision (which I seriously disagree). And it's just fine to put Page back up? Why, because he sells more tickets for UFC and is more popular? Ok...
Now that's exactly where you're mistaken... Machida has been higher than Page for some time now, and still is. He was ranked ahead of Page when he was given the oportunity to fight again for the tittle.I'll tell you why. Because Rampage never lost, period. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. Rampage is also higher in the rankings, and HAS been ahead of Machida for months. It is fine to put Rampage back up because he deserves it, period. And, because I like him.
Unfortunately, I agree.I'm pulling for Machida on this one. Just because it'll be fun seeing how he reacts to other fights who are put in front of him.
I think Rashad is going to fall at his trap. He's going to back off and just catch him with a counter I think. Rashad is very anxious to get his wins and will stalk Machida. At least that's the way I feel about it.
And then I'll be even more excited to see Page x Machida, as I feel their styles also colide and will provide a very interesting matchup. I think that if Machida can win this belt on this fight he may very well be able to hold it for a little while.
