UFC 75: 'Dangerous' Dan vs. 'Sloppy' Jackson

I could see why Dan would say something like this. Quinton does look sloppy from time to time, and although a great chin it has been tested and dropped. On the other side of things Dan better not confuse sloppiness for unorthodox.

Great headline! Sloppy Jackson.

I think Sloppy is going to get KTFO. Henderson is bad ass.

MSNBC? Wow.

I don’t think Hendo will be able to deal with Rampages size and strength at LHW..Hendo is champion of champions, I just see Page beating him in September.

So where is he going to put the 4th belt he gets when he takes Anderson Silvas belt away? haha

1 on each arm, 1 around the waist, 1 cowboy style hanging from his .. .. ..

I dont think this fight is so cut and dry as he is looking at it. Rampage is sloppy, but one of the most powerful 205lb fighters in the world. Guy can wrestle, box, GNP… GL Henderson, If Rampage starts losing the war on the feet, you’re going to the ground where that big animal is gonna turn you inside out.

I dont know. Both fighters have pros and cons. I honestly want to see Quinton exploit Henderson’s weakness’. Its really a toss up fight though. Too close to call. Anything could happen.

Henderson has a point. Before the Chuck fight Rampage had an unimpressive fight vs Dong Sik Yoon, what imo was a gift vs Lindland, and a nervous performance against Eastman. I’m not willing to forget all of that, and say he’ll crush Henderson just because he beat chuck. This will be a very close and competitive fight

I wonder what about the Chuck fight Dan found “not so impressive”? He wanted to see blood or something?

Seems like Dan hasn’t been paying attention. He didn’t look that great against Lindland, but who ever has? He was impressive against Eastman and obviously against Chuck. His striking is dramatically improved, along with his conditioning, and we know he still has some of the best slams in MMA. If Dan is underestimating him, he’s in trouble

dan all the way.

This is a tough fight to call, but I don’t know if it will be this fight or the next fight, but Hendo is going to get beat and will be sent back to his natural weight class of Middleweight. It is very possible that Hendo can beat Jackson or viceversa, but Hendo will eventually get sent down to Middelweight in September or early next year.

Quinton could not possibly stand with Silva, he got two shots at it, and Dan knocked him the F**K out, So with Stand up rampage has no shot.

..Ur right..but who was Page training with?? or what was his gameplan? Page is a different fighter 2day then he was yesterday..Styles also make fights..in this case I feel Page has an edge. We all have to wait and see who shows up to fight that day.

Henderson is going to need a chiropractor after this fight you kidding me ? Sloppy ? Jackson wins and sends Henderson down to 185 where Dana hands him a tile shot versus Anderson Silva.

Wooo hooo another hand out by Dana and Joe Silva … “Super Matches”

I see Rampage winning the stand up and ground game in this fight , Dan wont be able too handle Rampages explosivness or strenght.

Rampage has a much better chin then Silva also , I dont think Dan can actually knock Rampage out like he did Wanderlei.

This fight can go either way like most lol. But this on is hard to call. Im going with Hendo just because his confidence is high and Rampage I think will be shaky with his first defense.

I wonder what he found so “sloppy”?

This is the fight that I am most looking forward to. I think that it is going to be an instant classic. They will go toe to toe at times, and look to take it to the ground at times.

Wooo hooo another hand out by Dana and Joe Silva … “Super Matches”

Kevin, are you saying that you would object to a Silva/Henderson fight? You wouldn’t consider Dan deserving of a title shot? What would he need to do, fight Martin Kampmann or Okami first, and then get a title shot?

I think that each of the champions in PRIDE that come over to the UFC DESERVE an immediate title shot.

I think they should force the fight. One thing I always hated about boxing was that there are like 6 belts in a weight class. It’s redundant and hard to keep track of. 1 organization, 1 belt. That’s how I would like to see it. My opinion might only be shared by me, myself, and i though.

Would be a sad day for Hendo if in 2 fights he lost 2 belts. With Anderson Silva being seemlessly unbeatable in the division right now though, would be good to give him some competition.

I could see some sloppy parts in the Eastman fight, but that was the ring jitters as Page said.

But in the Liddel fight, it was far too fast and crisp to say anything was sloppy about it.

I wonder what about the Chuck fight Dan found “not so impressive”? He wanted to see blood or something?

As an expierienced fighter Dan Henderson would know that Chuck lost that last fight because of a mistake he made,the punch he threw is a very simple punch to counter so we realy didnt get to see Rampage fight in his last fight,what I saw though is that Rampage looked extremly nervous and timid and although he was taunting Chuck during the fight he was not willing to go after him,I am sure Dan Henderson has taken notice of these things and more.

   It,s not going to the ground hendo likes to keep it on the feet.

chuck’s my fav. fighter and even I know page will win all dan throws is over hand rights and page blocks hes self D*** good and page is biger and when is he sloppy???yea his eastman fight wasnt that good cuz he was nervus and I dont see dan pullin thise off

I’ve been watching old Henderson and Jackson fights from the PRIDE days via UFC-On-Demand. Even in Jackson’s so-called “sloppier” days, he was a tidal wave. Henderson was also a force to be reckoned with. I agree with PhilQNY that Rampage is a different fighter today, training harder, and more focused.

I find it interesting that Henderson would mention Rampage’s last couple or three fights, since the last one (against Liddell) was practically over before it began. The fight before that was Jackson’s first in the octagon. So he must be referring to his last fight before his debut in UFC.

Even with Henderson’s past experience in the octagon, that was many moons ago. Things have changed significantly since then.

This fight is not an easy one to call at all. I am leaning slightly toward Ramage, by TKO. But I’m still basically on the fence.

It,s not going to the ground hendo likes to keep it on the feet.

I am going to UFC75 and I am not sure who Im gonna be rootin for in the main event,I like Rampage and Dan Henderson so I guess Il just see how the fight goes but I have a feeling its gonna be an exciting fight.
One things for sure though Il be rootin for Bisping and Crocop and I am sure they are both gonna win(hopefully in spectacular fashion)and then I can just relax for the last fight,take in the atmosphere and may the best man win.
The o2 aren where its at is just spectacular,they have definatly chose the best place in the world to hold it.

I don’t think Hendo will be able to deal with Rampages size and strength at LHW..Hendo is champion of champions, I just see Page beating him in September.

 Yoo oubiously havent seen him fight(henderson)he’s fought heaviweights way bigger than him. Like noguera although he did loose by submission , he was caving nog’s head in thats why nog took it to the ground like many of his other fights he cant stand up with strikers like Henderson.

I Aree except for gomi who i know is not coming over but he would not deserve a shot right away.

Hendo will take this one. How it will end is anybodys guess. Hendo is MMA. He is a great fighter and I don’t see him losing to Jackson. However this match will decide a lot of matches to come. Liddell vs. Silva? Hendo vs. Liddell? Silva vs. Jackson III? Not to mention fighters like Forrest Griffin and Ryoto Machida moving forward in the division. And let us not forget the impressive Houston Alexander. Deep talent pool in the 205.

Jackson by TKO in Rd 3

I honestly think that Hendo has a better chance with anderson silva then Quinton jackson.

I think he’d beat Silva. Rampage is going to edge him out though.

I’m not really a Dan Henderson fan (nor do I particularly dislike him), but I think that he is correct and he will take down Rampage via TKO.

…I have ton of footage on any1 who’s anybody in MMA to date..I know Hendo has fought bigger and heavier fighters then himself, but I doesn’t change my opinion on this match up. Rampage is a dangerous treat at this time..he has by far the sickest core strentgh I ever seen in MMA. Now mix in his training camp which isn’t the same as it was a while back..his growing confidence..he will go in there to tear Hendo up as Hendo wants to do the same to him. what happens if Hendo gets knockd out by a slam or knee, elbow, etc..it can happen both ways. I feel Page is going to overwelm Hendo..and shock a few more people..but not me.

Question 1: Has anyone ever seen Rampage’s skill on his back?
 Cause I’ve watched a lot of his fights, and I don’t remember him ever getting taken down. Henderson has the skill to take him down, and prolly mount him.

Question 2: Don’t you think Hendo has a better shot against Rampage than Anderson Silva?
 Rampage is a very straight forward fighter, no bullshit and all heart, Anderson Silva on the other hand, yeesh, he might pull a rabbit out of a hat and knock you out with a spinning elbow all in the same move.

Question 3: Don’t you think that everyone who is a top contender or belt holder is going to try to jump around at weight classes just because Hendo did it? Hehehe

Question 1: Has anyone ever seen Rampage’s skill on his back?

if kevin randelman could not take him down than I cant see hendo takin him down….not sayin he wont I just dont see it happnin

PhilQNY…..

Im right there with you. I honestly think Jackson will win and agree with you 100%.

Put it too you thus way guys, if Hendo was the same size as Quinton I think he’d cane him. However since he’s not, Quinton will have to use the size advantage. Should be damn good. Oh and I’m going can’t wait!

I’m mostly on the fence for this one. Both guys are great fighters, both seem to be great guys. Rampage is a bit of a clown (not the assclown variety, just silly), but that’s alright, he’s entertaining at the same time. Hendo seems to be in the Couture realm of just flat out being a good guy. I think both are going to bring it and that it will most likely end in spectacular fashion…I expect fireworks. I give a small edge to Hendo, but I would not be at all suprised if Rampage wins as well.

What would suprise me is if it goes past round three…combined there’s probably enough dynamite in each of their collective bodies to blow the roof off the place, only a matter of time before someone lands a clean shot and the other drops…maybe not KO, but to set up a TKO…both have pretty solid chins. I can’t wait!

Any fight in which both guys have great knockout power, is incredibly difficult to call.

I think I am more excited about this fight than Chuck vs Rampage. What I can’t believe is DH is going straight into the cage with title shot. No warm up fight and to fight a guy like RJ… Man that is ballsey. Rampage had at least one warm up fight.

Both these guys have plenty of experience in the ring to make this one exciting fight. Although potentially I see the fight could go either way, I think RJ is going to get caught with a punch that ends it. DH has pretty good take down defense so I don’t see it going to the ground real easy.

I say Jackson by tko, i know eaither way this fight is going to be bad ass

Rampage sloppy haha, i hope Rampage smashes his face in.

dan has that right hand if you get hit i don`t care who you are your going down

Well see what he says when he takes a “sloppy” right hook.I like dan but hes gonna get his ass whooped and then go to middleweight.Hes getting knocked out!!

Alot of trash talking to hype up the fight. You know it won’t be long til Rampage hears this shit, and when he does, he won’t be quiet about it.Hollalulia holla back!!!

I actually think Dan is the favorite here and should win it. Rampage better train very hard to prove me wrong.

Go Henderson!

guys, hendo has only been finished twice, and that was both against the nog brothers, his only other looses where decision ones.

personally, i think its 50/50, but i dont think size will be much of a factor as people think, considderingg his last fight was at 205 in february and has known this fight would be at 205 for a while, so hes had time to get his weight up decently. rampage is good, buti think if it goes past round 1 hendo will take it, as rampage tends to get sloppy when he’s tired.

Man, I think on the feet, he will crush Hendo, I don’t think there is alot Hendo can do to him. I don’t think this will be a competitive fight at all. I think Hendo will be finished.

Its not so much a knock on Dan Henderson as it is on Dana White, Violent Mike. I personally would rather see Henderson fight Anderson Silva at 185 pounds where he will probably end up. It just seems to be that White and Silva are too inconsistent when putting matches together. But all in all Im not going to mind watching Quinton Jackson punch a hole through Henderson’s head. Hopefully not literally but you get the point. I think Henderson got fat on life beating down ridiculous KAM A KAZI dudes who guys at your local bar would have no problem standing on the feet against.

if kevin randelman could not take him down than I cant see hendo takin him down….not sayin he wont I just dont see it happnin

QFT. Randleman has better wrestling credentials than Kos. Henderson is going to have to win this fight standing. I think it’ll be a good fight, but I’m giving Rampage the edge.

Have u people watch pride. Rampage was murdered by shogun & his ass whooped twice by wanderlai. Rampage is very tough dude but hendo mite be the best fighter in the world (Besides fedor). What hendo did to wanderlai was a piece of art picking him apart & wanderlai is obviously a better fighter than Rampage

Gomi is pretty durn good and the current Pride champ. Why wouldn’t he deserve the shot? He busted up Nick Diaz pretty good and just got sloppy in the end. I don’t know if they ruled that a no-contest or disqualification after the drug test but Gomi did not lose it.

Are you kidding….gomi was getting his ass handed to him by diaz….Gomi threw one big power shot that landed…other than that Diaz was landing 4 punches for every 1 sloppy one that Gomi threw…I mean Diaz was dropped from the UFC, he is a B level fighter and whooped the supposed "wonderkid"s ass..Face it Gomi…as many Pride fighters are overated…they just put on great shows…I mean look at Jason von flue…he puts on a great show in the UFC but still loses..maybe he should have gone to Pride where they like that sort of thing

Rampage will destroy Hendo. Too big and too strong.

Rampage will destroy Hendo. Too big and too strong.

Word

I hope to finally see one of rampages slams in the ufc

I’m so glad this is going to be 5 rounds.

Word

I’ll second that. WORD. Most definitely going to see some slams.

Like I said earlier, watching past PRIDE fights on UFC-on-Demand is a good education if you haven’t seen them, and a great refresher if you have. Both Hendo and Rampage look great. Hendo seemed to fight up to his potential, whereas Rampage did not. And he’s said as much. I don’t think we have yet seen Rampage fight up to his potential, except for a couple outstanding instances in PRIDE. This will be the most anticipated fight of his career. And Hendo’s, for that matter. But I have to give the edge to Rampage in this fight.

They both have thier pros and cons but theis fight is too close to call its going to be a good fight

SIMPLE

RAMPAGE WILL TRAIN BETTER AND HARDER WITH MORE EXPERTISE IN HIS CAMP.

HE WILL BE STRONG AND READY TO GO.

HE IS MUCH BIGGER AND STRONGER (NATURAL WEIGHT 225 VS. 195) AND
HE IS MUCH STRONGER THAN EVEN SOME OF THOSE HEAVY WEIGHTS THAT DAN FOUGHT AT 230 LBS.

RAMPAGE WILL SURPRISE A LOT OF PEOPLE. I THINK HE COULD HOLD THE BELT FOR 2 OR 3 FIGHTS.

BASICALLY UNTIL HE FIGHTS SHOGUN, EVEN THEN. HE IS A BETTER FIGHTER NOW THAN 2 YEARS AGO AND MUCH MORE FOCUSED/BETTER TRAINED.

SHOGUN/SILVA HAVE BEEN IN TRAINING CAMPS SINCE THEY WERE 2 YEARS OLD. RAMPAGE HASN’T HAD THAT TYPE OF TRAINING. AS HIS SKILL IMPROVES, HE RAW ATHLETIC ABILITY (WHICH IS GREATER THAN SHOGUN/SILVA/HENDERSON) WILL MAKE HIM THE SUPERIOR FIGHTER.

RIGHT NOW THE CONTENDERS ARE MORE SKILLED, AS PAGE’S SKILL INCREASES HE WILL BE TOP 2 FIGHTER AT LHW.

For everyone with the “Silva killed Rampage, Hendo knocked out Silva, so Silva will kill Rampage”, a few points.

-Rampage dropped Silva with a punch at the end of round one fight 2, broke out of a sub and took side control as the round ended. If that round was 25 more seconds it could have been Rampage by TKO. Not that Silva didn’t brutally KO him, but don’t act like Silva dominated Q for 13 minutes.

-If you think Silva was at all himself in the second Hendo fight, you’re crazy.

Henderson has a point. Before the Chuck fight Rampage had an unimpressive fight vs Dong Sik Yoon, what imo was a gift vs Lindland, and a nervous performance against Eastman. I’m not willing to forget all of that, and say he’ll crush Henderson just because he beat chuck. This will be a very close and competitive fight

And what did Dan do before he knocked out Silva? Lost a dec. to freaking Misaki, right? Hell, he used to be called decision Dan, remember?

“I’m gon’ whoop Dan’s ass!”

-Rampage

Are you kidding….gomi was getting his ass handed to him by diaz….Gomi threw one big power shot that landed…other than that Diaz was landing 4 punches for every 1 sloppy one that Gomi threw…I mean Diaz was dropped from the UFC, he is a B level fighter and whooped the supposed "wonderkid"s ass..Face it Gomi…as many Pride fighters are overated…they just put on great shows…I mean look at Jason von flue…he puts on a great show in the UFC but still loses..maybe he should have gone to Pride where they like that sort of thing

Gomi did not get his ass handed to him by Diaz. Go rewatch the fight. Diaz was landing more often, while Gomi was landing the more powerful shots. Even when Gomi was gassed there were multiple occasions where he’d tag Diaz, forcing Diaz to clinch. go rewatch the fight

-If you think Silva was at all himself in the second Hendo fight, you’re crazy.

I agree regarding Rampage vs Silva. People remember the end and act like it was a brutal beatdown. The fact remains Rampage was at the least competitive and at the most winning both of those fights until the end. Just because a fighter gets finished does not mean he got destroyed

And what did Dan do before he knocked out Silva? Lost a dec. to freaking Misaki, right? Hell, he used to be called decision Dan, remember?

A lot of KO’s on his record to call him decision Dan.

Its not so much a knock on Dan Henderson as it is on Dana White, Violent Mike. I personally would rather see Henderson fight Anderson Silva at 185 pounds where he will probably end up. It just seems to be that White and Silva are too inconsistent when putting matches together.

White wanted Hendo to fight at 185 in the UFC but he refused, Hendo wanted the LHW fight because of more exposure.

I know you love to hate on Dana White but at least know the whole story before starting the hating.

PhilQNY: u r absolutly right. 1st of all did anyone notice how lean n in shape Page looked in his last fight(look at his face). Training wit Juanito seems to be the best thing that has ever happened to Page’s career, his stand up look

A lot of KO’s on his record to call him decision Dan.

Doesn’t change the fact that his record can be considered just as “sloppy” and Rampage’s. Not to mention the fact that Silva had a fever and was sick as a dog when Henderson fought him.

A lot of KO’s on his record to call him decision Dan.

I think the “Decision Dan” was more a knock on some of the decisions as being unfair. Personally I thought Kondo, as well as Bustamante should have gotten the nod over him. I’ve seen quite a few people get upset about the Ninja fight as well, but I haven’t seen that fight since the event first aired, so I can’t really comment on it.

Either way, Dan’s a badass, and will put on a good show

Dan is going to put a beating on rampage. Im Predicting a second round stoppage. I like rampage but he’s not in the same class. This is not going to be pretty.

hendo all the way

Hendo could win but Page has more ways to beat Hendo. I want Dan to win but his only shot is to outstrike Page or KO him with that monster hook of his. Page could win by KO or on the ground. Hendo has to be very tactical in this fight but also push Page and pressure him.

For everyone with the “Silva killed Rampage, Hendo knocked out Silva, so Silva will kill Rampage”, a few points.

-Rampage dropped Silva with a punch at the end of round one fight 2, broke out of a sub and took side control as the round ended. If that round was 25 more seconds it could have been Rampage by TKO. Not that Silva didn’t brutally KO him, but don’t act like Silva dominated Q for 13 minutes.

-If you think Silva was at all himself in the second Hendo fight, you’re crazy.

Exactly, and check out the first Hendo/Silva fight. Silva pretty much had his way with Dan the entire fight. Dan spent half the fight on his back, with Silva standing up and kicking Dan in the ass.

Thanks for pointing that out because I was about to do so myself. It kills me how people have so much to say without ever watching previous fights in their entirety from an objective view. Kudos for breaking this info down & points for knowing what youre talking about. Not that my word is the end-all be-all but just giving credit where its due.

surprized that anyone thinks dan has a chance

Rampage!

I am amazed. This will not be a walk in the park for Hendo. For those of you who think that Hendo can knock out Page with a punch are crazy. Page has the best punch defense in the business and will be looking for that right hook since his NEW trainer is a boxing coach. Dan will not beat him on the feet. He will have to rely on his wrestling but when was the last time Page got submitted? Try 2001 by Saku, and that was the only time he was submitted.

Now I know anything can happen in a fight, but to say that Hendo outclasses Page is ridiculous. The facts seem to point to Page having a distinct edge. I believe the worst thing that Hendo can do is to believe that he can out strike Page who is bigger, stronger, has the better reach, better chin, and who is fighting at his natural weight.

Rampage has never lost a fight where someone stood infront of him and tried to exchange punches. Each time he was knocked out it was by knees. I think once again that will be the only way that he could lose to henderson. And I have a feeling that Rampage has worked on that since the last loss.

Rampage TKO halfway through round 2

wtf!!!?? how can anyone think rampage is gonna win the fight dan henderson is an olympic wrestler he has better striking than jackson (Beat wanderlei, wanderlei killed jackson) unless hendo makes mistake like chuck liddel and gets caught in a one punch KO thats the only way i see rampage winning the fight i do not see rampage winning any other way he wont be able to take hendo down thats for sure and hendo will have the better striking so the one punch KO is the only way i see rampage winning his best bet is to swing for the fences

best punch defense?? getting KTFO by shogun showed that…. tym sylvia was bigger, stronger, better everything than randy randy just outclassed him you cant rely on just physical attributes if you look at it …. striking….hendo is the better striker by far just look at rampages fight against wanderlei… hendo knocked wandy the fuck out… wrestling shouldt even be an argument hendo is 10000000000000000000 times the better wrestler……. neither on is a wiz at jiujitsu but hendo also pulls that out… the only thing rampage has is strength and if royce gracie taught us anything is that strength alone wont win a fight

either way it doesnt matter shogun will have the belt early 2008

This one has the makings of “Fight of the Year”. Jackson is not a sloppy fighter, he actually looked great in his two showings in the UFC. Henderson might be more technical, but this is going to be one hell of a war. It doesn’t matter to me who wins, either of the fighters will represent the UFC Light Heavyweight Division with a great deal of pride.

Gomi did not get his ass handed to him by Diaz. Go rewatch the fight. Diaz was landing more often, while Gomi was landing the more powerful shots. Even when Gomi was gassed there were multiple occasions where he’d tag Diaz, forcing Diaz to clinch. go rewatch the fight

Rampage’s striking is a WORLD above Dan’s striking, or should I say Dan’s overhand right.

with juanito ibarra as rampage’s boxing coach, his stand up is at its best. henderson cant hang with rampage at 205lbs, 205 is a much more natural weight class for rampage and not for henderson, he’s a more natural 185 pounder. as for silva and rampage again….that would be awesome cause rampage is a complete different fighter than when silva beat him b 4….if you look at silva when he faught sakuraba the 1st time he was really small….then look at him in his rampage fights….that was a big fu@king dude….supplements are not monitored in japan as they are in the states….silva didnt look so lean when he lost to henderson in vegas….all in all….rampage will beat both henderson and silva….if he ever signs with the ufc

rampage will beat both henderson and silva….if he ever signs with the ufc

“IF” silva signs with UFC? You must be a casual fan.

Wand is due to fight in the ufc this december. it was actually announced here on this sight but was 1st confirmed by wand. this news isnt all that new either.

You are cleary WAY biased towards Hendo, this second outrageous comment proves that. Hendo Knocked out a practically dieing sick Wandi. Woopdi doo. And about the wrestling. I would bet you ANYTHING his wrestling will be rendered in-effective against Rampage, who can also wrestle. Have you watched many fights before? Have you seen Rampage/linland? Linland is just as good, if not better grappler/wrestler then Hendo, and Rampage handled him nicely, won the positionings anyway.
I’m am surprised anybody is giving Hendo a chance.

Anomaly is right. I’ll take it one step further & say that people should try actually STUDYING a fight as opposed to simply watching it & looking for what you WANT to see.

Jose, a fighter with heavy hands is not the same thing as an effective striker. 2 different things entirely.

hey there machine….i must not be looking carefully….so could you PLEASE help me find this info you know that i dont….cant find anything on wanderlei in the ufc web site….or about him fighting in december or earlier….he’s obviously not fighting liddell since it was rumored that they would fight in september….but its jardine instead of silva….so hit me up so i know where to look….im one of those i have to see to believe….take it easy

I so want Hendo to win but i dont see this sloppiness that Dan speaks of. Page can be a f*ckin animal and if Hendo isnt careful its gonna be over in rd 1. I think Hendo is pretty strong but the strength edge deff goes to Page. Dan is deff gonna have to fight this fight smart and try not to get caught. And for the record Wandi wasnt almost dying when Hendo knocked him out. But i do agree that wrestling wont be the way to beat Page unless Hendo does something pretty amazing. Heres hoping Hendo pulls it out gonna be on the edge of the seat type fight screaming at the damn T.V.

….regardless….wandelei cant beat rampage now

 I agree with you there. I would love to see Rampage get revenge, I think he could do it for sure.

Quinton could not possibly stand with Silva, he got two shots at it, and Dan knocked him the F**K out, So with Stand up rampage has no shot.

Theres that MMA math again.

I agree with you there. I would love to see Rampage get revenge, I think he could do it for sure.

I definately believe that the NEW Page could beat Wand now but a 3rd fight? I’m not sure it’s really warranted. Then again, Herring got to fight Big Nog for a 3rd time so who knows at this point.

I also think that he would do much better when he rematches Shogun. I dont know if he’ll actually beat Shogun which I hope he does but atleast we’ll see more of a battle instead of a one-sided beating.

Its a close fight to call but i believe hendo will get the best of page on his feet and knock him out. Page will not be able to take him down. Hendo trains with couture and lindland. After that hendo will drop to middleweight and have a war with anderson silva.

“IF” silva signs with UFC? You must be a casual fan.

well wanderlei signed with the ufc today 17 AUG 07….as for my “IF” he signs….well its done now….hopw he gets ready for rampage
