Semtex have been knocking out people for years!

He is more than just "That black uk fighter".

Rampage will knock Rashad's ass out.

He can't KO what he can't hit.

Page is WAY too slow for Rashad.

You only watch UFC right?

There are other organizations as well you know!

UFC saw Daleys talent and grabbed him after they saw his KO's in Cage Rage, EliteXC etc.

Yes, he is new in the UFC; but he is not a new fighter!

Rashad fought not to loose.
He was almost KOed in the 3rd. Surprised that Rashad couldn't do anything with Silva once he took him to the mat. Win for Rashad but not impressive. I think Silva has a decent chance to beat him if they fought again. He gave him too much respect the whole first round.

I agree, he fought to win the fight via the points system and nothing more. It was just take down then no progress on the ground, Silva gets up, repeat. Did that for two rounds then pretty much ran away. I was disappointed with it, wouldn't really call it a fight as such. Rashad never made any attempt to finish it imo

I think in the mma that if anyone lets it go to the judges deserves to lose....

Both deserved to lose then. lol. Difference here is Rashad wanted it to go to the judges, whereas Silva made some attempt to finish it.

I respect you, but Rampage is going to get owned. He mentally can still win against less talented and has-been quality fighters. Rampage's will lose out right and probably get knocked out. 2nd round knockout is what I figure.

Are you training page too?

You can't be serious that Rashad isn't in Page's world. Rashad has knocked out his fair share, both via punch and kick. His wrestling is awesome, and his movement is fast. He's had ONE loss.

Page is in trouble and he knows that. Why do you think Page ALWAYS was antagonizing Rashad? HE's Jealous of Rashad's youth and ability.... and that he is past his prime as a fighter.

Coach is Back! · « **Reply #112 on:** January 05, 2010, 12:40:31 PM »

Yes, been training him for the last year until he started filming. He saw the and started basically laughing at Rashad.

Kwon · « **Reply #113 on:** January 05, 2010, 01:05:25 PM »

Rampage > Rashad.

Oh how i want to see ~~Rampage knocking Rashad out~~ 'Page' take a page out of Rashads book.

I'm glad he is laughing at being the bitch boy out of the situation. Rampage didn't have it in his eyes on the show and doesn't have it now. He is afraid Evans will treat him like Silva use to in pride.

Your judging Rampage because of the show? Dudes laughing and joking constantly.

look at how he Used to be against people, A real fucking dick,''Might be less of one now, but he still is.

Super funny sometimes though,

but gived out a strange feeling, like hes hiding something

He proved to be the real pussy of the show. And I dont think he gives a flying fuckg about anyone ecept family.

Just look at the show when he just left his fighters when they loosed and hugged them when they won, Rashad pointed it out,
What a fucking ass.

coltrane · « **Reply #119 on:** January 05, 2010, 01:19:27 PM »

And his last "win" was in eeking out a decision against Jardine.

I am judging Rampage on not just the show but his last few fights. He has been anything but impressive. He is like Balboa in Rocky 3, he has lost that instinct. Plus, Evens is much faster and younger. He took shots from Thiago that should have knocked him on his back and out, but didn't.

I think rashad is a better natural athlete....I also think he has a better head on his shoulders....But I think Rampage will be more prepaired & focused(even if coach is there)for this match up than at anytime in his career....there is alot riding on this fight between the Dana white drama to people saying he has lost his killer instinct to the whole rashad being a better coach....this fight is business but it's also very personal...
Rampage by first rd KO......

He is a much better natural athlete, there's no question..but he lacks the two most important thing 'Page possesses. A crazy chin made of steel and two cinderblocks for hands..ya ya I know rashad got the fluke overhand right on liddell

but overall he's not really known for being a knockout artist.

so I'm calling it, Rampage by granite chin in round 2

JSB, there were two things that saved Rashad after he woke up from basically being KO'd on his feet....1. Silva gassed held up. 2. The fight wasn't a title fight and only went 3 instead of 5. If there was 4th round is would have been a replay of Machida all over again. Rashad doesn't have the knock out power to ko someone as big (and hard headed) as Rampage.
