Shouldnt Jackson be in prison by then? Or is he above the law? Im seriously losing faith in the legal system after this incident, and cant help to think about OJ Simpson and the other Jackson

i wish they would make up their minds. is it going to be rampage/rua or rampage/wandi. personally i prefer wandi because i miss seeing him in the cage getting it on. has wandi not ever been in an exciting fight? ive read rumors that if chuck wins against rashad, he could face a.silva in dec instead of forrest. that would leave the winner of machida/siva to fight forrest for the title, that would be an ideal situation foe myself as a fan. a.silva vs liddell would be a dream fight. but you know how the internet rumors are.

make this match for the Portland Oregon show! Ireally hope Florian is not the headliner

That would be a crazy fight… but i think Rampage would win, simply because shogun has that knee injury and no matter what he’ll never be 100% like the old shogun of pride… and rampage ain’t the same fighter as pride time.

Will Rampage bring his truck?
Even with Rua’s past injury I don’t think Rampage will win this fight. How fast can some rebound from “extreme dehydration and poor diet” to be in fighting shape again? I don’t see the dude being mentally ready to fight this soon, but I’m not an expert and I’m not Rampage. I will pull for Rampage in this fight!!

a little premature to talk about this fight…lets be all over it after the trial….I would like to see Amir Sadollah fight

I cannot see Rampage losing this fight for some reason.

If he goes through all this breakdown crap and then comes back and just loses it would be somewhat anti-climatic in his insane life.

I think he will win, and then probably go to jail, then come back and become the champ again.

Jail has a way of straightening people out, and I think Rampage will be a better fighter in the long run.

i seem 2 detect some racial tones in some of the posts! i can’t help to think if this was a white guy it would be a whole different story! he’s just a regular guy that fucked up! but i’m sure some or most people posting on these sites are just “PERFECT”!!?? shit happens thats life get over it. at some point in your life tragic things happen & then the biased view will do a 180!! GUARANTEED !!!

my picks for 205 match-ups:

Chuck vs forest
wandy vs jackson
lyoto vs anderson silva
Hendereon vs franklin ( 205 or 185 )
brandon vera vs keith jardine ( is that already booked!?? )
houstan Alexander vs james irvin REMATCH

not a big chuck fan but he WILL be champ again

I hope there both healthy

IMO in all honesty, I don’t want to see this fight yet. I want to see this fight when Shogun is 100% Healthy and has a win underneath his belt in the UFC. I think Shogun is going to have a lot of rust when he comes back to fight, and him fighting Rampage right now might not make the best fight for both of these guys. I say give Shogun Rua a match like James Lee when he comes back, Houston Alexander/Eric Schafer or winner or Mark Coleman. Something like that so Shogun can get a boost in populairity and a boots in confidence.

Wanderlei vs. Rampage III is something that needs to be in the works more considering Wanderlei defeated Keith Jardine in Pride fashion, and Rampage just lost to the new LHW champ. That would make for an explosive fight that would get people rushing to the tv’s to BUY this PPV. I just sont think Shogun has that common US name here in America as Wanderlei.

the dude who got me into mma’s favorite fighter was shogun. evvvverrrybody wanted to copy his fighting style with his ax kicks, head stomps, and flying kick on a downed opponent. his 1 sided beatdown against arono was one of my favorites of all time. But then again, Page did Arona wrong with that donkey kong ko slam too. They’re both coming off “injurys”(lol). The only thing that kind of make me wonder about their first fight is when page was yapping about PRIDE being fixed. I probably won’t buy tickets or drive to portland if this was the main event. the card still looks pretty weak.

I wanted shogun v Coleman :(

if this match happens it could even be wandi vs anderson at year end. the spida said he would love to fight him on an interview at the start of the year

I’m just going to be honest here. I wish they’d lob Shogun a sure thing for his first fight back. Not someone like Page. He hasn’t proven himself in the cage yet, hasn’t been back to hard training for a while, nursing injuries that probably aren’t completely 100%, and I just love the guys’ style. Even a little more than Wandi’s. Come to think of it, give him Jardine.

Wow, no excuses I hope Rampage takes this one so Wanderlei will be higher up in the rankings than shogun like he deserves to be after that lackluster BS loss to Forest. no disrespect to Forest.
Wanderlei would knock Shogun out quick like he did Jardine. by the way they need to give Jardine a gimme if anything I mean he is the one who truly needs and deserves it. maybe we all including me need to get off shoguns nuts and admit he is not the best in the division by far.

It’s impossible to say what would happen between Wandi and Shogun, because they’ll never fight they’re almost like brothers and won’t fight eachother. The lackluster fight against Forrest might have been due to poor training because of knee, or might have been because he was roiding in Pride, or might be because of the cage. Anyway about it, we there are a lot of unanswered questions about Shogun, throwing him up against Rampage who is proven and comfortable in the ring isn’t exactly win win. I’d be surprised if this is true. The potential to build this fight up a little bit and give Shogun and Page two fights first would bring some serious hype to this fight.

The Rampster will slam the conciousness out of shoboat! Unless, he’s still in need of his Psych meds!
