Rumor - Wandy vs Rampage 3 at UFC 91
« on: August 18, 2008, 10:26:01 PM »
Mmabay have learned from a very reliable source that the main event for the yet to be announced November show, UFC 91, will be between former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva.

Although no location has been determined for the event to take lace at this time, the UFC have been busy in putting together one of the biggest and most anticipated matches in UFC history. Both have aspirations of getting into the title mix and this fight, although very dangerous for both will greatly propel the winner up the ranks for a possible shot next year.

Although coming off a loss and suffering personal problems, Jackson is back in the gym with a new trainer and working hard to be in shape for this one. He will need to be, as he’s faced Silva twice before and was dominated both times. Silva himself has seemingly shaken his losing streak with the kind of performance we are used to against Keith Jardine in May, knocking him out in the first round.

Bad idea if it is confirmed to be true. Jackson just went through a major psyche breakdown. How will he be able to face down the man who tore him apart on two separate occasions. . This fight should happen once Rampage gets his mental focus back

Given all of Quintons issues as of late I would have like to see the UFC give him an opponant who has not demolished him twice already. At least we will all get a chance to see if Rampage has really gotten that much better....

Why?

Rampage his problems are not physical, its just mental and it's his own fault for melting down like that.
I don't feel he deserves "a break". He should feel lucky he gets a good opponent. Also, for a guy like Silva he will get motivated really easily.

Too bad the octagon has no ropes, I'd love to see Wandy hang Rampage on them again! ;)

Dayum, I made a comment about Rampage not being able to catch a break in the thread about him fighting Shogun, and asked what was next, Wandy... I didn't mean for it to come true.

Maybe I should learn to shut the hell up.

The question is - who is going to take up the coaching reins after Juanito's dismissal?
Wandy is with team Couture from time to time during his fight prep. Given that rampage is still relies on religion for assurance someone will have to take over the spiritual "conditioning" as well as get rid of the "fasting" tactics that rampage employs.

He was fasting before his second match with Wandy. He was doing ok until he ran out of energy and was brutalized by Silva.
