for once the "turning point of the night" was actually a turning point, what a shocker.

IMO, only a Page fan would call that a bad or boring fight. What did you want Rashad to stand right in front of Page and throw the entire fight? Hell, even the most casual MMA fan knows that would have been a horrible game-plan.

Shad's strategy was to pick his shots standing and to shoot when he had the chance. Once he had him against the cage or on the ground his game-plan was to wear him down one way or another. He did that to perfection. That wasn't a boring moment the entire fight and it definitely wasn't a bad fight at all, IMO.

TBH, if you watched the whole card, the last fight shouldn't have mattered. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a whole PPV from the prelims to almost the end.

I gotta ask, what does TBH stand for?

No, I'm saying, good fight = entertaining fight. Nothing was entertaining about that.

Well if youre going to base everything on one fight then dont bother watching because no matter what sport you watch youre bound to get a snoozer or two here or there.

Rashad won but he did the least amount fighting he could to win. He wanted no part in exchanging with Rampage. Rampage could have finished Rashad off if he didn't lay off when Rashad was staggering.

Shogun is gonna kill Rashad.

In your opinion. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Man i was pullin for Rashad ,but was extremely nervous. Im happy he won. I like Rampage ,but he didnt come prepared like Shad did. I gained even more respect for Rampage during his post fight interview. Now yall catch me on tht UFC Undisputed 2010. Gt: Da Cooks Man56

I don't think he goes out there and demolishes Shad like Machida did. I think Shad is much improved and can give Shogun a good fight.

it was boring because rashad didn't do anything in the clinch or with his takedowns. I watch fights to be entertained. I'm not looking for a slugfest, I enjoy technical grappling too, but if you're going to tire your opponent out, do something once you've done it. If you're going to take a person down, do something, don't just take him down for points. It's frustrating and disappointing, but it seems to be Rashad's strategy now. Fighting for points instead of the finish.

I guess you missed the first 10 seconds of the fight. Thats the hardest I've seen Page get hit since he joined the UFC.

For what? What were you waiting on? The cage to split b/c they were leaning against it so much? Or for Herb Dean to tell them to break up?

Re: UFC 114 - Rashad vs. Rampage

Looking at the replay, didn't seem like Rampage's flurry was that great. He missed on quite a few punches once Evans was on the ground.

Re: UFC 114 - Rashad vs. Rampage

Rampage: "Aint no losers in the octagon..."

You're supposed to say that after a win, my man.
