God Bless him..what a class act.

I’m going to rock it till the wheels fall off.

Page is such a refreshing figure in out sport I hope he can be our modern day MMA Joe Louis. He is straight up. honest. funny. humble. and dangerous when locked in a cage.

That is where i was born! lol, Rampage is the man.

Devil Dog 4 Life!

Man, that was a slapfest. What’s up with that?

Don’t know why everybody thinks Rampage is so good he still hasn’t proven much. He got lucky and caught Liddell and then a poor performance with a 185 pounder in Henderson. He still has to prove himself in my eyes.

Well open your eyes than,you would of seen that it wasn’t a lucky punch,and his fight with 185 henderson he was the light heavy weight champ of PRIDE so its Rampages fault dan weighs 185 its pages fault chuck didn’t duck.its a new day for rampage an just keep your eyes open an hopefully you’ll see something this year.IMO

Lucky shot? Rampage beat Chuck’s ass in the first fight. His corner had to throw in the towel. Dan Henderson knocked Wanderlei Silva out, and dont give me the whole he was sick blah blah blah. Rampage has beat a number of quality opponents.

Luck 2 times against liddel?

Rampage is the real deal..you tube him or something. He deserves everything he got today..and don`t be surprised if he holds on to the lhw gold for awhile.

Do your research bro! Seriously, all i can say is that sounds like the statement of a guy/ girl (im not sexist) who has only seen page in the UFC, and has prob only been watching that for 5 minutes

The 185 pound Dan Henderson has beaten world class guys at both weight classes so why are you trying to punk him? 95% of the UFC 205 couldn’t roll 5 rounds with 185 Dan Henderson….Who else at 205 do you think could be Dan Hands down, and have an impressive performance? A not so stellar performance against Dan Henderson is usually a good night for the most part. Dan Henderson brings so much expereince to the table. Wow I can not believe you said he poor performance against Dan Henderson, like dan hendersonis a can….

I think that ’’Rampage’’ wasn’t as focused, well conditioned and complete fighter in his PRIDE days as he is today[ therefore the losses to Wanderlei and Shogun].He was reborn in the UFC and proved to be one of the most giffted fighters from any aspect.While he’s not my favourite fighter[ I prefer Wanderlei from his division]I regognize he is a steady value for the sport and the fans.Now put him in the cage with Wandy.

Don’t know why everybody thinks Rampage is so good he still hasn’t proven much. He got lucky and caught Liddell and then a poor performance with a 185 pounder in Henderson. He still has to prove himself in my eyes.

Seriously, this is easily the dumbest comment I’ve read on any MMA website in months. Congratulations on your epic stupidity.

anyone know whats going on with that UFC video game they were showing on the clip?

Forrest is gonna get schooled in their fight. I’m sorry, but he’s lucky he faced one of those overrated Brazilans Pride guys and not a Chuck Liddel, Jardine, or Hendo. He’ll put up a good fight but he is nowhere near the athlete QJ is.

you serisously need to do some homework dude! lucky! ha ha! and that poor performance against a 185 pounder dethrone everyones beloved silva…so you need to do some homework on mma.Hendo is no punk in any weight class.As far as Chuck, i like chuck there was no gettin lucky in that fight…pure ko strength and skill son..what!!!!

Don’t know why everybody thinks Rampage is so good he still hasn’t proven much. He got lucky and caught Liddell and then a poor performance with a 185 pounder in Henderson. He still has to prove himself in my eyes.

dan henderson is not a m.w. he is a any wieght he fought m.w.‘s l.h.w’s and heavey weights he beat big nog before.

Rampage got lucky are you serious dude. This is coming from a huge chuck liddell fan. Chuck made a mistake and rampage capitalized on it and knocked chuck out that is not luck that is skill. Rampage is a beast i dont know too many 205ers that can hang five rounds with hendo either none the less win a unamious decision.

You know I’m beggining to like this guy more & more everyday.

Keep up the goodwords RAMP.

And a very big THANK YOU to all of our men and women in uniform, WE LOVE YOU AND MAY GOD KEEP YOU SAFE.

oohh-rah

Forrest is gonna get schooled in their fight. I’m sorry, but he’s lucky he faced one of those overrated Brazilans Pride guys and not a Chuck Liddel, Jardine, or Hendo. He’ll put up a good fight but he is nowhere near the athlete QJ is.

shogun is not overrated, I hope he gets liddell next, so he can shut up all the haters.

It’s so obvious that the comment above is supposed to get everyone fired up. What a loser. Rampage is a great Champion.

shogun is not overrated, I hope he gets liddell next, so he can shut up all the haters.

True dat. Shogun is soOoOoOOoo not overated.

Open your eyes my friend and you will see the truth.

Rampage, Rampage , Ram…………..that took me .2 seconds to type, come on.

Camp Pendelton, please! Go visit my husband in Iraq! I gotta give it to the guy, you might not be able to understand everything he says, but he’s a classier act than some in this sport…

sho gun is one of if not the best 205 out there…. the real story behind his loss against forrest is because he had to go knee surgery before his fight.. he denied it took the fight and wanted the knee surgery after…. if you actually look at the fight he fucked up forest bad standing and on the ground.. only thing was he had no cardio WHICH was because he wasn’t able to work on it because of his knee. look out for the shogun that is fully strapped…. hope he gets liddell then you’ll see that liddell ONLY Reason why he won is cuz went for the take downs against silva when he desperatly needed points.. if he does have a ground game.. why not try and pass his gaurd? or do something while he’s on the ground instead of just laying on him then letting him get back up… seems to me liddel didn’t keep up to his promise and that was i’ll stand toe to toe with him.. but silva did after silva knocked him down let him get back up cuz he promised his fans he will stand and trad the whole night and he did ….

Rampage and his damn lucky punch…Chuck will own next time they meet…

I knew my comment would create some backlash but what I mean is that someone like Anderson Silva has run through all 185 pounders put in front of him and Jackson has only fought three times (sucked against Eastman another 185er one catching Liddell and one were he didn’t do much with Henderson) People are so quick to jump on the wagon and all I’m saying is that he needs to fight a few more fights with quality opponents so all you can say what you say about him. I never said he wasn’t a good fighter I said that to me he needs to prove himself.

Is it just me or does it always seem like everytime I see Rampage “they” or “he” is hating on Chuck in an indirect way, i.e. the video game clips of him slamming Liddell lol. Just find it strange I guess? I like Rampage and all, but sometimes I dont like his behavior, but he seems like a cool guy overall and hopefully I will warm up to him, because I see him holding the belt for a while, Forrest will give it a good shot, but I think Rampage wins via TKO 2nd round.

Jackson has a gigantic ego, and i dont blame him, being a LHW champ is not something every fighter accomplishes in his life. Plus he´s got an attitude or at least likes to play it out.
I like this guy: he has an unmistakable personality/ character, and he´s driven to be at his best until the wheels fall off

Mania UFC should sign this guy melvin manhoef ,i think he is FROM HOLLAND,and for RAMPAGE ALL THE BEST AND HAPPY NEW YEAR AND FOR YOU TOO MANIA,

I get the impression that Juanito has been a really good influence on Rampage. I think that TUF 7 is going to be great. It’s nice to see Rampage bring a smile to people who have been put in a tragic situation. He has a lot of charisma. Rampage is a great fighter and a fine ambassador for the UFC.

The very end is great, how can you not root for Rampage…

sho gun is one of if not the best 205 out there…. the real story behind his loss against forrest is because he had to go knee surgery before his fight.. he denied it took the fight and wanted the knee surgery after…. if you actually look at the fight he fucked up forest bad standing and on the ground.. only thing was he had no cardio WHICH was because he wasn’t able to work on it because of his knee. look out for the shogun that is fully strapped…. hope he gets liddell then you’ll see that liddell ONLY Reason why he won is cuz went for the take downs against silva when he desperatly needed points.. if he does have a ground game.. why not try and pass his gaurd? or do something while he’s on the ground instead of just laying on him then letting him get back up… seems to me liddel didn’t keep up to his promise and that was i’ll stand toe to toe with him.. but silva did after silva knocked him down let him get back up cuz he promised his fans he will stand and trad the whole night and he did ….

u right he is only on of the gretaest pound for pound fighters in the world, but u dont know why everyone thinks he is so good. U obviously know nothing about mma…..get a clue!!!

What are u talking about? Rampage is always talking good about chuck, giving him props….Its chuck who is always saying I wanna knock him out.,….good luck Chuck! cuz that aint happening

HEY john thanks for explain the situation…by the way HAPPY NEW YEAR BRO.

UFC 85: May 24…in Las Vegas:

Tiago Silva vs. Rashad Evans

is Fedor’s little brother Aleksander a russian Mafiaoso? He spent 5 years in Russian Prison and has all the traditional tatoos of Russian Gangsters like the stars on shoulders and knees (shown in the movie Eastern Promises).

Aleksander explains what his tats mean:

• Right arm: Cathedral with five domes: symbolizes five years of imprisonment.
• Shoulders: Stars: Symbolize a “career criminal” or Vor v Zakone in Russian (english translation: thief in law).
• Right shoulder: cobweb: Aleksander did not explain its meaning other than saying that contrary to what has been suggested by some, it does not have anything to do with the mafia. In Russian prisons, tattoos using this symbol typically denote drug addiction.
• Left shoulder: Russian ******.
• Left forearm: Half cat’s head, half skull: “Homo homini lupus est.” Translated: Man is a wolf to his fellow-man.
• Back: Grim Reaper holding a baby
• Back: “Gott Mit Uns”, meaning “God is with us” in German: for Aleksander, it’s a symbol of revival. This tattoo caused a significant controversy, since this slogan was written on belt buckles of German soldiers in the Second and Third Reich.
• Knees: Stars: symbolize that the owner will never be brought to his knees.
• Pirate tattoo: stands for article 167 of Russian Criminal Code: “armed robbery”.
• “Fortune favors the bold” in German: self-explanatory.
• A name on his lower abs (Maybe ‘Marina’). Later covered by a tribal tattoo

It isnt clear what Aleksander spent those five years in prison from. Him and Fedor took very different paths to get to where they are today. I would love to read a biography of Fedor, it has been published, but hasnt been translated to English

Rampage and his damn lucky punch…Chuck will own next time they meet…

Like they say “Three Times a Charm”
Rampage vs Chuck III Report:
Chuck wakes up 2 days later announce retirement.

NoTouch!

Rampage and his damn lucky punch…Chuck will own next time they meet…

So when Chuck caught Sobral, and Randy that was luck?

Hey mania. Done Erase my post about Aleksander Emelienenko’ russian mafia tatto’s….That is an interesting post that took me a long time to research and compose. I was especially careful not to use profanity or any degrading language so that u wont moderate it or Erase it….so please Leave that post alone.

Babalu trashing Rogan
Amusing tidbit of info that I didn’t see posted anywhere on Sherdog…

At the Ring of Fire event which just recently took place, Razor Rob gets in the ring to interview Babalu and asks for his thoughts on his victory. Babalu tells him that it’s nice to be interviewed by a fighter and not by an asshole like Joe Rogan and that as a fighter, Rob actually knows what he’s talking about.

Great shot at Rogan by Babalu, who is obviously pissed about Rogan making such an issue over the Heath choke. Maybe we’ll see the two fight this coming year?

Joe Rogan: “Tim looked much better than Nog in his last fight…”
…or something to that degree…it’s on the official UFC 81 site.

One guy plays hug’n’stall for all but 3 minutes, leans his fat ass all over his undersized opponent, and (arguably) gets a gift decision for finishing strong (credit where it’s due, Tim looked good in round 3).

The other gets caught with one head kick in 15 minutes, and thoroughly dominates the rest of the fight with takedowns, striking, sub attempts, and GnP.

Watching Dana and Joe on this vid, it’s crystal clear that they are desperately hoping for a Tim Sylvia victory. Not that this is surprising, it’s just funny to see how transparent they are on the subject.
I am getting sick of the way that the UFC tries to spin the truth and force feed us stars. In the Liddell fight Rogan was so biased in chuck’s favor. The whole second round wanderlei was cracking chuck with hard and accurate counterpunches and Rogan didnt even mention it. What a shame. Recently I have been re watching the fight, with out the sound and Rogan did the fight no justice at all….what a disgrace that he and the UFC tried to turn an epic WAR, into a one sided beatdown by Liddell. The sorry part is that if the UFC just let the chips fall where they may, it would be better, stars will be made anyway. They are doing a diservice to the fighters by trying to mold the truth. If they just called it like they see it STARS will be made anyway, and they dont loose credibility in the eyes of fans that know better.

To me it looks like the UFC is clearly hoping Tim becomes chsmp again, and I do not understandy WHY.
If they let the chips fall where they may, unfortunately Tim may become champ anyway (GOD HELP US ALL), but if not Noguerra would be a much better champion anyway, and the UFC would look more credible. I was getting sick of all the countdown shows, where they try to obscure the reality of the fight and the fighters involved. Now its even worse, because Rogan and Goldberg are starting to ruin the pay per view broadcasts with their biast, semi-realistic commentary aimed at changing our view points from what the reality of the fight really is.

Its getting really bad to a point that I considered starting to watch the UFC with out the sound, which is pathetic. We pay good money for 4 fights and I am gonna have to start watching them with no sound, or crowd noise or have to listen to unreliable commentary. This is Terrible situation and so not called for!

I have to somewhat agree with the above statement, however at the same time i disagree. Go back and watch the Jardine fight. Rogan clearly was making a big deal about Jardine outscoring Chuck ect. also, he was saying how Chuck is a “ROCKSTAR of the UFC” and parties too hard blah blah. I really think Rogan is just a commentator who overexagerates alot of the time when a fighter may be doing better or winning during a fight. I mean come on, everyone is going to have someone they would rather see win and its got to be hard to be unbiased, I think even the great Randy Couture is a little biased AGAINST some fighters when he was commentating. People should stop worrying about what Joe Rogan says on the mike, because in the end it doesnt matter what he says, Chuck beat Wanderlei end of story. Just like Jardine beat Chcuk end of story. I do agree it was not what I would call a complete beatdown, but Chuck in my eyes won a long hard fight, taking plenty of punishment of his own during the process.

God Bless him..what a class act.

I’m going to rock it till the wheels fall off.

-Page

Page is such a refreshing figure in out sport I hope he can be our modern day MMA Joe Louis. He is straight up. honest. funny. humble. and dangerous when locked in a cage.

Page IS straight up, and I believe he’s honest. Funny??? That’s debateable, but he definately is not humble nor is he a class act. The only reason he was letting those Marines slap him is because he know’s he’d get his as kicked by the whole platoon if he tried to take one down.

I do appreciate though, that he went out to see the Marines in the first place, that he supports them, and gave them recognition for what they do.

I think Page could be holding the belt for a while, he’s a good fighter, but I think he’s a putz.

Jackson has only fought three times (sucked against Eastman another 185er one catching Liddell and one were he didn’t do much with Henderson) P

Umm… not that I’m a big fan of Quinton Jackson’s (and thus going to be accused as being a Rampage ‘ho – Crap. That didn’t sound good), but he’s had 35 fights with a record of 29 wins, 6 losses, and no draws. If you’re going to say something about a fighter, you better damned well be able to back up your statements.

Maybe you were thinking just of fights for a US market. Yeah that’s it….Nope, then you would have taken into account his win against Matt Lindland in WFA’s “King of the Streets” on July 2006.

Maybe those of us that know how to check fight records should just ignore the mamalukes, eh?

John. Great minds think alike. Your not right..your totally RIGHT..I catch myself arguing with them..correct them..to my guests..laughing at them..on PPV night in my home..for all the reasons you addressed. I also see what they want to happen and catch myself rooting for the otherside. Tim winning would suck so much. Nog is a MMA legend..even with Anderson Silva it took Dana till the press conference to give Silva his Props..UFC says..^We want to the fans the best fights out there..^Yeah Sure.

They want to gives what is on their agenda for today and tomorrow..You and I and a selected few see and understand when Dana and Joe says what is..isn`t always what it is.

That is what I would like to read. It`s crazy where they both ended up to where they made it. I`m looking forward to seeing when they both fight here in the states.

PHILQNY and VIolentMike: I want to give u both props for your continuous, inciteful commentary. You guys write well informed posts with out ever showing favoritism towards your favorite fighters and I really appreciate that. Keep doing what u guys do!

Not any more, no more juice.

I agree. I wont take anything away from Forrest’s win over Shoun, but in reality how could anyone even expect Shogun to win that fight without a properly working knee. The nee problems were the reason his cardio was weak….This will not happen in shogun’s next fight. I promise u all that shogun will be back to his dominate form! Haters wait and see!

I respect Rampage for visiting my fellow Marines in my old stomping grounds! I know he’s a loud mouth and has a huge ego, but he actually went out there and spent time with the Devil Dogs!! Of course, like he said, none of them backed down from him. When you face death everyday like they did, Rampage is a walk in the park. Good to go Rampage, thank you for doing that.. Was he hinting about giving Tito a title shot this year?

I think he may have been, DirtbagHtr. The plug for the new UFC video game seemed kinda odd, or at least out of place,

I’d like to see more MMA stars spare a little time for our fighting men and women. After reading “Making the Corps” by Thomas E. Ricks, I have a newfound admiration and respect for the Armed Forces – especially the Devil Dogs. Thank you, DirtbagHtr. Thank you for exemplifying “Semper Fidelis.”

Well if you know how to check fighting records then you would know that the names on that record are what count and not the amount of fights. You must be a pride watcher and if you are then you should see that the level of talent in the UFC was, and always been better. So when he puts a few more quality names on that record then you and all the nuthuggers can say he’s the man, or just maybe your man.

You’re absolutely right – I am a Pride watcher. I also watch Vale Tudo, full contact fighting, Shaw Bros. movies, and even Three Stooges. Shit, for that matter, I watch documentaries and nature programming. What does that necessarily make me, JV? You seem to have the opinion that fighters in the UFC have some sort of edge over others simply because they’re in the UFC. Let’s take a look at just some of the fighters Rampage has victories over, shall we?

Chuck Liddell.
Murilo Bustamante.
Ricardo Arona.
Kazushi Sakuraba.
Igor Vovchanchyn.

Go on. tell me that any one of these fighters (especially the last two) are little bitches simply because you haven’t seen them fight on US soil and/or fight for Zuffa. Hey, for that matter, I guess Rickson Gracie is a king sized bitch in your mind since he’s never fought in the UFC, and he hasn’t fought professionally since 2000, right?

Look don’t get me wrong He’s a good fighter a very good fighter but there is a reason why they where at other promotions, to be bigger and a bit better than the other fighters. Now if you look at the top ten lists the UFC has most of the fighters. Now that he got experience in other promotions he can make a name for himself, but he needs a few more big names on his record. And there is alot of great fighters out there I’m sure so lets just say some guy comes in and beats him does that make that guy the best undisputed champ? Oh and remember Wanderlei beat his ass twice, now Liddell beat Wandys ass, and Liddell knocked out Couture twice now Couture is one of the best Heavyweights so what now. Do you see what I mean? I guess time will tell just how good he is.

Camp Pendelton, please! Go visit my husband in Iraq! I gotta give it to the guy, you might not be able to understand everything he says, but he’s a classier act than some in this sport…

I hope your husband rotates back stateside toot sweet UFCGirl. Rampage is quite a character, and I’ve always said that our fighting men and women deserve a lot more love and respect than they’ve been getting. Since he and Tito are buddies, maybe Tito will convince him to join him on a USO tour.

I see your point, JV, but all things being equal, the same could be said about the UFC. In fact if it weren’t for Dana White, there would be no UFC as we know it. I’m not saying Dana White is a great guy. I have great respect for his business acumen, but as far as compassion, understanding, and an appreciation for history as opposed to rhetoric, I think he’s severely lacking.

Up until the last two years of its life, Dream Stage Entertainment was doing pretty well, but those pesky rumors of ties to the Yakuza wouldn’t go away. One of their biggest failures was a complete and utter failure to understand the US market in order to compete with Zuffa. FEG made the same mistake with their first entry to the US market. K-1 Dynamite USA was a boring freak show without the midgets.

I’d love to see more competition in MMA amongst different organizations. The current mentality isn’t helping MMA being taken seriously past die-hard fans who aren’t willing to give two shits’ worth of attention to other perspectives. If martial arts can be taken seriously to the point where it’s part of the Olympic Games, I’d like to hope that MMA could happen as an Olympic event.

Again, not to brag, but I am a little over 6 feet and weigh 187. I would beat Rampage in either the late 2nd round or early 3rd.
