Rampage's highlight shows many of the best in MMA at their worst :run:

Their second fight has one of the best/worst KO's I have ever seen. Wandy knees him from a clinch, lets go, and Rampage falls through the ropes. At least you acknowledge the presence of PRIDE, so don't consider yourself a TUFer. I have only been training for about a year, but it is the funnest and hardest sport out there.Damn, I'm still a newb w/MMA, so I only saw bits of the first fight. I can't believe Silva owned him. I saw a few interviews where he talked non-stop shiznit about Wandy.
I just found about 25 Pride DVD's on Netflix, so I will definitely have some entertainment while I do cardio in the a.m. My neighbors should definitely be frightened when they hear fight announcers going crazy at 5a.m. b/c the volume is cranked to be heard over my loud ass elliptical. :hammer:The rampage HL reel kicks ass, his and his opponents, Silva put the definition of a KTFO on him after Jackson did the powerslam on Arona in his previous fight.
The Arona slam was in the same Pride where Randelman supplexed Fedor, Fedor shrugged that neck breaker off like it was nothing, damn, just damn.
Check out "PRIDE - Critical Countdown 2004" sometime, those fights, Sammy Schilt getting pounded bloody and a good fight between Big Nog and Heath Herring., that was a great event.
Ha ha...my eliptical is really loud too and I do the same thing! Anyway, I have had netflix for years now and I have tried to keep up with the Pride DVDs as I feel they are pretty kick ass overall. Critical Countdown 2004 is definitely worth the the rental. I'm pretty sure that it's one disc of a tournament from that year. Check out Pride's website and try and rent them in order. Since you're a newb you probably won't know who is going to win a lot of the matches.I just found about 25 Pride DVD's on Netflix, so I will definitely have some entertainment while I do cardio in the a.m. My neighbors should definitely be frightened when they hear fight announcers going crazy at 5a.m. b/c the volume is cranked to be heard over my loud ass elliptical. :hammer:

Come on man, Fedor would beat Sylvia very easily.Yeah God can make you Peaceful, But RJ is a beast, as he Liddel has to know that knockout was one of my all time favs. PRIDE is just the best of the WORLD!!! and UFC has great people but not the best in the world... What i would love is Silvia and Fedor... Match in heaven...
I do believe they're in different weight classes though...would have to be an open weight tournament.Maybe he meant Silva/Fedor?
Another fight to look for would be Silva vs Crop Cop. I haven't seen it, but I'm sure it was a great battle (Pride 20...in my queue now!).Crocop vs. Coleman was a joke. Crocop is a beast! His takedown defense was absolutely amazing. He is definitely one of the best to watch.
UFC and K-1 have some sort of talent swap agreement to let their fighters compete in each organization. They mainly did this for Royce Gracie and BJ Penn, but I think that LeBanner and Sylvia are going to fight at some point.Maybe he meant Silva/Fedor?
BTW, did anyone hear of Jerome Le Banner's challenge to Tim Sylvia a few months ago? I really, really hope Le Banner comes to the UFC. How badass would that be??
I rarely speak in absolutes or so dramatically when it comes to MMA, but Le Banner would demolish Tim Sylvia. And oh, how I would love to see that.
He is probably the best heavyweight kickboxer in the world.Okay, I know who that is now. I haven't seen him since he lost to Ernesto Hoost for the K1 championship a few years ago.
LeBanner will destroy Sylvia. He has a ground game (I think he trains with Dean Lister) not to mention a wicked set of hands/feet. Sylvia talks a lot of ****. He called out Fedor once and anyone with more than TUF knowledge knows that Sylvia would last less than a minute with Fedor.Page is training with Team Punishment... Matt Hamil, Josh Burkman, Kendall, Soloman, Josh Barnett, Ivan Salaverry, Joe Stevenson, Tito of course, and a bunch of other guys up in Big Bear. That should be a hell of a group to make one great camp.
TitoOrtiz.com For some pictures.
Oh yeh... I say Tim takes LeBanner with relative ease. Tim's ground game should be enough to take LeBanner by itself, not to mention that Tim has a granite jaw. He's taken two perfect shots from AA and while both knocked him down, neither knocked him out.
I think most would agree about Sylvia vs Fedor, but I had no idea that LeBanner was still around...not to mention that well rounded! He'll definitely know his **** if he trains ground with Lister.LeBanner will destroy Sylvia. He has a ground game (I think he trains with Dean Lister) not to mention a wicked set of hands/feet.

1) I've never been a huge AA fan, but the guy is a world class striker. (and I know it's cool to hate on AA right now) He is one of the fastest, most athletic, and most accurate fighters in MMA. Credit where credit is due.Who's the best striker that Sylvia has faced? AA?
How does AA compare to Hoost, Hunt, Aerts, Bernado, Cro Cop, Hug? Very poorily.
Not familar with those names?, that's because American fans see guys like Michael McDonald (18% KO rate) and not the events out of Japan and Europe with JLB and his 59% KO rate.
I think you missed my point too man, lol.I don't doubt your knowledge of MMA, but making statements like "AA could'nt KO Sylvia so JLB also could not" makes me highly suspicious of your knowledge of how generally bad MMA strikers are in comparison to the kickboxers.
Yes, let us try and stay on topic. I know I am guilty of this as well, but please make an effort.
Unfortunately I don't think we'll ever see the old Rampage, hopefully I'm wrong though.Anyone think that training with Tito and "the gang" up in Big Bear will give Page the edge he needs to get back to his old self?
Or do you guys think he's got RJJ syndrome and will never be the same fighter after Wandy?
I for one really hope he gets back to his old self, I enjoyed watching his "unique" style very much.
It will be hard to tell against Linland if he is back to his old self. Don't forget that Shogun gave him a pretty good beating too.Anyone think that training with Tito and "the gang" up in Big Bear will give Page the edge he needs to get back to his old self?

Guilty. I saw UFC 1, and didn't really like it b/c the fights were just brutal. Guys were getting hit 6 or 7 times while their eyes were already rolled back in their heads. I remember 1 fight where a guy actually stopped hitting before the ref did b/c he saw what the ref did not. To me, that is not entertainment.Beowulf, you must be on an MMA high. I remember when I first got into MMA being so excited awaiting every new tape or dvd. Like friggin christmas, I'm jealous you have so much good sh*t to watch. If you can try to check out IVC, and Meca, its real deal vale tudo, and there are some great fighters in these events. You'll soon find out about all types of smaller events that have taken place over the years with many great fights. World Extreme Fighting has a couple excellent card with 10-15 fights for each event(7-10 are really good). You seem to like MMA for all the right reasons unlike a lot of new fans that have become fans off TUF, and talk out there asses.
This perfectly desribes St. PierreThe skill and athleticism these guys display is inspiring.

gsp is the future of mma: athletic, well-rounded, disciplined and a huge heart. he has begged the ufc to rematch him with matt hughes for the welterweight title and he got it. one of the most entertaining true martial artists in the biz, impressive jiu-jitsu ground game, amazing standup using karate and muay thai. check out his teammate david loiseau if you haven't heard of him, same style, both from montreal, canada. st-pierre will be taking the belt from hughes within the next 6 months. mark my words.Beowulf.....try to watch some George St. Pierre fights when you get a chance. He is an excellent fighter who is technically sound.
Nice elbows and a solid striker. He was picked apart by Rich Franklin though.check out his teammate david loiseau if you haven't heard of him, same style
I really thought that was going to be a much better fight than it was. I knew Franklin was good, but that was when I realize how good he really is.Nice elbows and a solid striker. He was picked apart by Rich Franklin though.
Damn, I just watched Fedor vs. Randleman. I had seen that slam in clips many times, but it does not cease to amaze.
BTW, Jackson was commentating. Funny as hell! When asked for his advice for Heath Herring against Nog, he said he should get some bigger trunks so they stop creeping up his ass :toofunny:
