Duran Duran’s song “hungry like The Wolf” would be an appropriate entrance music for Rampage, lol!

True, but he [Juanito] should just say that. Instead he attempts to validate them? Longshoremen? Say wha…

Hey guys.beliee it or not just got he call back up. I’m leaving for Iraq Next wensday.kind of wierd because i have been posting things about the dumb ass dnc for the last 2 nights.any way it’s another year tour.yea i’m scared a bit if any of you all remember i had a baby girl on the third of july,and have a three year old.I had a feeling I was going back.I don’t know I guess it’s that wierd feeling u get in ur stomach after finding out something wrong and i’ve had it for a month or twoan way there was a couple people that voiced there opinion about what I had to sy about me and iran last nite ,one had to do with it was unjustified, All I have to say is one thing seriously stop the mma shxxxxt for one minute,do you remember the feeling you had on 9/11 cause I do. and here’s why i joined the army 101st divisionby the way air born. I cryed my eyes out i was sick to y stomach thinking of all those people who woke up that morning,that didn’t even think o another day at the office,all they thought was ahhhh damn alarm clock,not to know 2 hrs later they would be dead.I want nothing more than America to have the feeling of the 1950’s again when the people of this nation only had to worry about what they were going to do that nite,but it’s not going to happen. Hopefully this is not my last post here.And i dont think it will be but you never know GUYS I ASK ONE FAVOR AND IM SERIOUS I WILL CHECK THIS IN THE MORNING TO SEE WHAT YOU HAD TO SAY DO ME THIS FAVOR GO TO YOU TUBE,PUSH IN-DAVID LETTERMAN REFLECTIONSAFTER 9/11 SEPT17,2001 THEN GIVE ME A SHOUT OUT IF YOU WANT. BUT LOOK AT IT PLEASE. WATCH THE WHOLE THING THIS IS WHERE I GET MY STRENGHT I NEVER FORGET,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DBG, Not even sure what to post in response, save that we all wish you a healthy and safe return. Most of us will never know the sacrifices that men and women like you make, and it is greatly appreciated. All the best to your family and the families that have someone who serves and risks all so we have protection and freedoms. Many Thanks!

DBG I can’t say I agree with you on some things but there is no point in arguing this because the point is your out there to protect us. I tried joining the Marines and the Army myself but I can’t hear out of one ear so the didn’t accept me. I really wish the best of luck to you man, good luck over there and come back in one piece.

DBG- Thank you very much and Godspeed. Come back safe.

DBG: As a human..As an American..as a New Yorker..I wish you a safe return to your loved ones back home. War is not a good thing.. I pray for peace..and understand how this great country was founded.. through the blood and sacrifices of our Soldiers. I try to keep things as positive as I can..I was in the city that day.. my job at the time ..was a .25 mile from the WTC. coming into our 7th year that marks that day.. I reflect.

 Maybe not now.. but when you get back from your tour.. get your hands on a copy of " Loose Change 2nd Edition ".. I saw this documentary like 2 years ago.. it provided me a different perspective that I couldn’t..and wouldn’t grasp during and following immediatly after 9/11.

Thank you.. for being able and willing to protect us.. the American people.

DBC – Stay safe brother. I am grateful for you and those who serve with you.

DBG- watch your back over there man and thanks for your service to this country!

Phil: I have that dvd and wow! Its interesting to say the least! Not sure if I buy it 100% but definately raises several questions that many wouldnt have asked immediatey following the events of 9/11

DBG, I remember we had a fuss a while back but I do wish you the best. I’m not American nor do I live in America, and even though I’m very skeptical about the war and the Bush Administration I do wish you the best and your safe return. I just wish more army personnel would advocate more against the Bush Administration, there were many that protested against by voting and donating to Ron Paul, I suspect during the general election they’ll protest by voting to Obama. Please keep an open mind about the war. I know that you took it personal as you should have when 9-11 happened, but all the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. You mentioned ‘just remember 9-11 and you know what I’m talking about’ in regards to Iran. Iran had nothing to do with 9-11 and they haven’t had a war in over 100 years! All I’m saying is that you should keep an open mind, I know you can’t say no to going to Iraq when you’re summoned, soldiers are like pawns to the generals they serve, but you should keep an open mind about everything still. Be safe and keep an open mind!

DBG – Thank you for your service. May you return safely to many blessings for you and your family.

wow, what a way to wake up. I appreciate what all you soldiers are doing to keep me and my family safe. Check in when you can and stay safe!

How can Rampage leave the country. I was on 100,000 bail once (paid 10k cash) and I couldn’t leave the state. He has multiple felonies and can leave the country. I’m not saying it’s not a good move, but I’m surprised.
on a side note, I love John’s whatever. You have a comment and opinion about everyone except rampage, and it’s so obvious, if fedor rejected you you’d turn to page. LOL good morning John!

AS much as I like Rampage, I am a bigger fan of other fighters for Example: Shogun, BJ, Sakuraba, fedor, Anderson…..Then Rampage, wanderlei, Nogueira, Jacre, Leites, Gono, gomi, Genki sudo

Moral of the story is, I like too many fighters, but of course their is a special lil place in my heart for king Fedor! lol

Linx: Try if you can see it on the net " Loose Change 2nd edition ".. you would want to watch it!

phil, you’re killing me, I just spent 20 minutes ignoring my son! I got into that movie quick. I’m gonna have to take the time to finish it. Quite interesting. Hey, did you check out any of my pictures? Got my family on that page! You got some nice mma pics bro!

Iran had nothing to do with 9-11 and they haven’t had a war in over 100 years!

 Linx, they had a 9 year war with iraq. Every shred of evidence has pointed straight to iran, its only a matter of time before they get their turn. WAR AMERICA!

I hate war protestors that point out ignorant foggy ideas. Our war is not with Iraq. the whole plan, whether the Bush Administration admits to it or not, is for the US to have a presense in the middle east where Islamic extremists have called a Holy War or Jihad on All people non-islamists. By ignoring it, we will be doomed to meet the same fate as many European countries that have become infiltrated and overrun by these terrorists. Look at what’s happened in Spain and France over the last 3 years. . .Linx, I was in Brazil when 9/11 happened. Do you know how many Brazilians told me, an American, that we get what we deserve because we’re a wealthy nation, and that we shouldn’t retaliate because those poor people dress in robes and live in caves and we should forgive them? I emplore YOU linx, to keep an open mind. DBG, God bless you and your family and come home safely.

NewGuy, I meant Iran didn’t start a war, the war between Iraq and Iran was because Iraq invaded Iran. What shred of evidence is this that you speak of? Nuclear weapons? Your own inte!!igence agency says otherwise, it’s only the Bush Administration that is trying to make this happen. I’d rethink this war thing with Iran, Russia would get involved if you guys go in there… and for what? Too many lives will be lost if America goes into Iran, why do you say WAR AMERICA? Do you want to see bl00d drip?

haglnuts, where in Brazil were you? City and State? and maybe neighborhood… I find it hard to believe a Brazilian (not because of the Brazilian nationality but just any human) would have told you this. Here, we were very worried about the US during september 11. Spain got hit in protest to having army in Iraq and helping the US. I’m not condoning the terror, but this happened as a result to the invasion of Iraq… every action has a re-action. Iraq had no terrorism before the US invaded it, now look at how many al-qaeda there are in there, among many other terrorism groups. Doesn’t seem like you’re fixing the problem, but putting more wood in the fire. Now you want to go into Iran, where there is no terrorism either? you want to have two new countries with more terrorists in the list? Instead of fixing the problem, you’re putting more wood in the fire. Yes, please DO keep an open mind…

DBG,

If you feel so strongly about defending our nation then I don’t understand why you would join the service to fight in Iraq where you are basically just fighting for THEIR independence. Any and all links to terrorism were fabricated by the Bush Administration quite clearly and after Hussein was captured that nation poses no more of a threat to the U.S. or any North American country for that matter moreso than fucking Greenland does. Iraq is a nation in complete turmoil and chaos because of their culture and religion. They take that stuff wayyyy too seriously which doesn’t allow them to take other things — like government — seriously enough. It seems like they will never be able to sit down together, have a debate and make a decision on their government and then run a popular vote (if they choose a democratic system).

Which brings me to my other point. It’s not the United States’ responsibility — nor should it be — to govern other countries and tell them how their country should be run. That’s why the UN was created, it’s why NATO was created.

And lastly, my point to you is this: Being as patriotic as you clearly are, as willing as you are to put your life on the line for your nation, you should choose to do in a war that is for the freedom of our nation! World War II was that type of war, as was the WWI. But these wars (Iraq, Gulf, Vietnam, Korean) are definitely not. And you can’t try and convince yourself that they are nor can you listen to the BS gov. propaganda that they will undoubtedly try to brainwash you with. It’s all BS. Use your head, for godsakes!

I’m passionate about this because I am just like you. I feel strongly about fighting for one’s freedom and preserving that wonderful privilege that we are all born with. But you have to be smart about the fights that you choose. This one in Iraq is for nothing more than acting as a parent to the two children aka shiites and sunnis.

Linx: Brotha.. I agree with you.. I think what you insist persists.. We have a war on drugs.. and we more drugs in America.. anti-war.. brings about more war.. anti- hunger.. more hunger.. anti terrorism.. more terrorism.. I believe in Peace. I do not fight the things I don’t want.. I put my toughts and feelings into the things I do want.. So those things can happen. How long has the US been in Iraq?? How many more people died after 9/11 cuz of this war?? Is the situation better or worse in the middle east? Me.. I’m not going to follow the populist.. if I speak out on my beliefs.. I’m tagged as a terrorist..The Patriot act?? What’s up with that..

Ben Franlkin said something that sticks out to me during these times…

" When one gives up liberty for security, one will neither have liberty or security.

Linx eu gostaria de sabe se vc tem uma counta de myspace..orkut.. o email.. para a gente conversar mais.. Ate mais brotha.. agora eu vo trainar…

Kev: You have a beautiful family.. God Bless you guys..

Rapaz, eu tinha orkut uns 2 anos atrás, mas desde que me casei minha mulher implorava para eu fechar a conta, e mulher sempre acaba ganhando no final né hauhauah (mulher ciumenta é foda!) :)

i think PAge would of been better off at Tiger Schulmens..but John maybe it is.. just a thing to get away from the American Media.. that would makes sense.

It has to be that, because I’m sure even Rampage knows that isn’t the best training camp he could have gone to. Either way I don’t agree with it, I mean I don’t really know who is all over there in the Wolfslair, but Rampage has got to be the best of th best over there now, which isn’t all that great for his training now.

I just pray that he comes back more violent than ever! Rampage SMASH!!!

I would of went to Greg Jackson’s Camp. there isn’t that much Drama going down in New Mexico..he could of focused and trained hard there.. and that whole I’m a WereWolf thing.. I’m down now with the " Wolfslair "..sounds high schoolish.

I was right, it is partly about getting away from the USA. Check out what the co-owner of the wolfsliar had to say:

"After the Forrest fight, he felt that his training hadn’t been quite right. He was deeply disappointed in his performance and he felt like he needed to change some things in his life. He came to us as we’ve all been friends for a long time. He feels that training in England can help him focus, which can be difficult in California because of his star status. He’s relatively unknown in England…He will be training when he can in England and the Wolfslair will be running his camps up in Big Bear when he is preparing for his fights."

can rampage leave the country while awaiting trial? I thought he couldn’t…

linx,

Depends on what restrictions the judge has placed on Page. Basically, does the court or state consider him a flight risk.

Thanks Jeff, I thought that rule was for everyone!

JOHN- i Agree….myself am greatly dissapointed in rampages decision to join wolf’slair…i was glad when i heard he left juanito…you know he is a great trainer and all…but he is like dellgarotte..he will take raw talent and mediocrity and take you to that level A game that is required to enter the top. now as for staying ahead of the game and staying the elite of the elite..you need a big name camp with a lot of top fighters to keep you ahead of your own hype you know.Jackson was suppose to leave to join a top notch camp that will take him to the next level of elite…not to a camp where they keep low level class A/top level B class fighters from becoming mediocre top B level fighters.to be honest..this move will be jackson’s undoing…he should have joined those big name camps, i think he likes wolflair..cuz they dont charge like juanito probably did,then again you pay for the best or bettter camps.shogun is gonna eat him alive if they fight and shogun is in shape and 100%

I think he is in England already!

yeah, sometimes he’s a werewolf, sometimes he’s god. He can never accept the fact that he’s only human lol.

CraAAAZZZZY JaCkSoN!

SORRY GO TO DAVID LETTERMAN AFTER SEPTEMBER 11TH AND THEN POST!!!!

If i am correct he is already there.

i used to train with bisping and trust me he trains hard lol he wont let jackson get fat thats for sure

I call BS.

i call it too…so what…jorge gurgel fights hard and traind hard and his win loss ratio in the UFC is pushing it…..i mean you can train till you die, breaking a sweat doesnt mean sh*t man. its having your skills tested all the time by guys who have better aspects in some areas of MMA than you have. example…jason reinhardt trains his ass off and fights hard…he is 20-1 but he hes beat alot of new amateurs turning pro and guys with horrible loss records…lauzon walk thru him like nothing….jackson will loose alot of his luster. wait an see.

I dont think camps are as important as everyone makes them out to be… GSP was basically fighting without a camp for a long time and doing very well

yeah and to get to the next level, mentally and physically he went and started training at the best gym for him, Jackson. Of course GSP was doing well before he went there but since he got there he has trained and fought better. Rampage needs somewhere to improve his skills and Wolfslair isn’t pumping out #1 contenders like other gyms.

But to be fair a lot of the main camps attract top performers, they don’t breed them.

I think it would be a good move to get away from the circus that will surround him in the US.

great point nick. i agree, top camps have some of the best fighters but those fighters arent usually from those camps

We’ll see how he does in his next fight. I think he’ll be ok in the octagon. Saying he’s gone as far as he ever will is a little ridiculous. And the comment about the UFC handing him the title… c’mon now. He’s not my favorite fighter, but I expect Rampage to stick around the top 5 for a few more years. Sure, he seems a bit out of his mind, but he’s kind of always had that quality. I don’t think he’s ever been all there.

No way…….Chuck beats him in a rematch.

fo magazine also has chuck calling out rampage for a 3rd fight. their site has the interview posted at08-27-08, but i wonder if this interview is alot older. it would seem that chuck has enough on his plate (rashad, a possible title shot with forrest, and a possible fight with a.silva) it makes me wonder if this interview wasnt done before the forrest/rampage fight or the rampage breakdown.

what are you “no waying”, sir? Chuck might beat him in a 3rd fight, but what does that mean, exactly?

b.w. I’m not sayin your information is incorrect, but the terminology is… Chuck has already lost to ‘Page 3times. So if he’s calling him out, then it is for their 4th fight or the article you read is older than the 2nd UFC fight. Chuck got whooped in Pride by Rampage a few years back, then 2 fights in UFC.

Umm… I can only remember him getting beaten once in the UFC.

You’re right.. I’m a ‘tard. I was thinking of his back-to-back losses & for some reason I thought he had been given an immediate rematch. The 2nd loss was to Jardine. Sorry, I’ve got a migraine from hell right now & can’t think straight.

Joshua, I’m not sure what’s going on here, but you’ve really misunderstood what I said. I meant that Rampage’s gone as far as he ever will. That doesn’t mean he’s suddenly going to stop fighting or even winning, just that I think he already climaxed, and his apex was in great part, from my perspective, manufactured by the UFC for PPV buys. Rampage has evolved as a fighter. He’s in better shape now than he ever seemed to be in pre UFC days, and he’s with a new camp that will likely see that he stays in good shape, but I just don’t think he’s a good enough fighter. He’s good, don’t get me wrong (again), but there will always be several if not many fighters in the game, especially in the new era of MMA, that will be better.

Do you think Shogun would beat him if they fought in the near future? Do you think Forrest takes a rematch? I really can’t think of more than maybe 2 that are better than him.

Re his Visa, he is currently an innocent man so there will be no Visa issues until the trial is finished.

Even then he should be alright, there isn’t the same restriciotns re convictions like there is UK > US.

All of you dogging the wolfslair, have you been there, have you seen the facilities, have you seen the training they go through… no, well guess what Rampage has and he knows more than you.

They are hungry (no pun intended) and out to prove themselves.

Also as i stated earlier the ‘big’ camps such as Greg Jacksons, Randys etc don’t MAKE the great fighters, the great fighters go there to train.

I’m not sure about Visas in general, but I do know here in the states that if you are charged with a crime it is very common for you not to be allowed to leave the state until legal issues are over. So I would doubt his ability to leave the country. Like I said I’m not sure, just basing this on old stupid personal business.

ORR AM I THINKING AKA

yeah I think you are. Alves is the only top welterweight at ATT.

ATT would be a good one for him

Isn’t that where Thiago Silva trains? He could fight Page. Or maybe I’m mixed up too.

Yes and Wilson Gouveia and Thiago Alves. But it is in Miami and there are tons of distractions there.

No Thiago Silva trains at Chute Box.

ATT woudlnt work, too much publicity in miami. he needs to escape his star status for a while. He should pull a Chapelle and go see Africa, then come back and go to Greg jacksons
