LOL. How did you come to this ridiculous conclusion?

[Gibbz]

I'll take Rampage via vicious KO and Mir via armbar.

[LingeringRegime]

Sign me up for that one. Rampage all the way baby.

I don't know...probably side w/ ramp but I don't know why.

I do think Rashad would try to bring it to the ground and use some wrestling which would make it really interesting! when's the last time we saw rampage on the mat for any significant time?

Rampage is become like chuck and just relying on ko'ing everyone w/ a bomb. - but like we saw in the jardine fight, it might not come and he even got his jaw broken.

rashad was becomming a bit like that too, but after being ko'd like that, and training w/ gsp etc...i think he'll alter his style and mix more in, takedowns and striking.
so actually maybe rashad via dec. is what I'll pick.

[Dcooks]

shad is more well rounded fighter than as yall say page. i think shad will win in a unanimous decision.

Really? Did you watch the Henderson fight? 2/3 of that fight was on the ground and Ramp hung with one of the best wrestlers in the UFC.

I was just going to mention this. He hasn't really shown it much in the UFC but Rampage can be a beast on the ground. Anyone who can wrestle with Hendo and actually control him has some skills. Look at what Silva did on the ground with Hendo. That would be nothing at all. This should be a good fight but I'm picking Rampage because I think he has better all-around skills and I need to see Shad come back from that beatdown first. Getting whooped like that isn't the easiest thing to come back from. Since he's never been knocked out nobody knows how he'll respond.

Seriously, this is what happened to him last time he entered the octagon:


That's no walk in the park to overcome.

but he never chooses to do that. My thought process was that he doesn't mix it up anymore. He does this head bobbing thing looks like he's listening to beats or something lol, and throws bombs. You can hit rampage, and if you mix it up, you can probably hit him more.

like i said, my gut is w/ ramp, but dissecting it makes me lean rashad.
