Rampage is the realest and most truthful person in the UFC along with Tito, that’s why they get in trouble.
The better guy wins the fight on TUF regardless of the coaching, it’s just as simple as that.
JG – were u there? how can u know what Page did on the show?

Rampage is a dumbass. im too tired to type it, but go back and re read it, he contradicts himself twice!

http://www.spike.com/blog/war-of-words/87920

I don’t see anything, even if he does his point is still right.

of course it is Robertio, u notice a trend, everyone thinks differently than you. Rampage is a bad coach and says that Rashad is a bad coach, next sentence says rashad has to be good, he wants to do that after fighting. Which is it?

God, Roberto you need to learn how to look at a situation dispassionately. You clearly love Rampage and you never post anything bad about him, and this emotional attachment you obviously have pretty much destroys the legitimacy of your opinions on matters concerning him.

BTW, that comment about Rampage and Tito being the realest people in the UFC was HILARIOUS. those are probably hands down the most dishonest people in the UFC. Is Rampage being real when he pretends to be ghetto to play up an image, or when he does staredown hype, or when he pretends to “want his belt back????” Get a grip, Roberto.

Lol tito is a truthful person, wow that was a good one.

you get a grip, what u just said is for entertainment and business purposes, he’s been honest about doing it for the money since he first started out in the sport and so has my other boy, tell me what’s dishonest about that?

Kevin, where does he say anything about Rashad being a bad coach? he says his personality stinks, and who told u that you have to be good to still coach after your career? that’s about want, not anything else.

being a liar and making money is what’s honest jacka$$! It’s like BJ Penn, he doesn’t care what anybody thinks of him either.

Rashad is a showboater and he gets stick for that but he actually cares about the fighters, Rampage is just there for the money and TV time. Looks like he quit because he thought everyone would love him for cracking jokes on TUF and playing BA but instead we found out that he’s selfish and only cares about himself and making money, he has no respect for anyone else or the sport. Him and his yes men have replaced Shamrock as the worst coaching team in the shows history.

Leaving a fighter on his own after he lost is inexcusable as a coach and cornerman, leaving a fighter on his own whilst he is laying unconcious after being choked out then claiming that you didn’t go in because you would have attacked him for losing is criminal and shows what a nasty piece of work Rampage really is. I used to be a fan but I can’t cheer for someone with such a horrible attitude.

Rampage has lost his passion for the sport and should never have gone on the show, until he can get his head straight he should stick to making films. When your heart is gone you’re done as a fighter.

good stuff JG, Rashad deserves to be shut down for good. Tiki would probably school him in the standup too and then Rampage even worse.

figures they wouldnt post my comment telling roberto to take rampages nuts out of his mouth

Obviously it’s for “entertainment and business purposes,” that doesn’t make it any less dishonest. If not on their outward actions then on what are you basing your thoughts about their honesty?

lmfao wow tiki sucks man….hes lost 4 times in the ufc to people that arnt even that good and rashad would destroy him

I suppose you could say that they’re honest about being in it for the money, but I don’t find greed to be a particularly admirable trait. And who’s to say that people who claim not to be in it for the money (at least solely) are lying. Is this your view, that the only thing humans can care about professionally is money? What about someone like Machida, who broke down in tears after winning the title and fulfilling “his dream.” Is he being dishonest too?

I’m so sick of Rampage trying to be funny. He gets dumber w/ every word that leaves his mouth. He is a terrible coach, and his assistants are SHEEP! Rashad would beat Rampage decisively(mainly because he has a great camp, and not a bunch of YES MEN!).

Good post again, JG. Rasahd did call that Rampage was selfish. He could have used any number of words to describe him but he chose selfish. That confrontation made me want to see the two of them fight so much more and it pisses me off that we may never see it.

Rampage is NOT a good coach no matter how they edit it but in reality, it all comes down to their picks in the early going and the subsequent fight pairings. They don’t have time to make an actual difference with their coaching. Also, Rampage made the mistake of putting his striker against a wrestler at the very beginning and lost control of the matches.

no, frosnt. but they don’t claim to be someone they’re not either like Rashad is, he’s a brotha that’s in it for the money too, that’s why he’s on TV trying to stir sh!t up. when i say honest i mean someone doin what they want and actually doing something irrational against the whole “system” thing! not small potatoes like guys being themselves and start crying and stuff that nobody even cares about.

Rampage is NOT a Coach, doesn’t want to be a coach, wasn’t the one applying to be on the season he was asked to! the reasoning behind having known UFC fighters as “coaches” even from the 1st season is ofc to bring in viewers, and it works!

Getting called ‘Selfish’ wounded Rampage quickly, I guarantee it’s not the 1st time he’s heard that. However, I don’t entirely believe he doesn’t care about his team, I think he does. Rampage is immature and makes spontaneous decisions most of which are bad. Rampage does console and talk to his fighters in the room later and I see a genuine side to him, but as a person he needs to consciously work on himself. Rampage is reacting to his own feelings 1st and thinks about his fighters 2ndly. I really like the way Rashad stood there talking to Rampage until Rampage walked off into the room. Matt Sera called out Matt Hughes for his personal faults all of which were true, the same way Rashad is calling out Rampage’s. I just like Rampage better than Hughes.

its not the ultimate coach, but in order to become the ultimate fighter you need good coaching!!

i used to like rampage so much…now every time he speaks all i hear is “im a douche bag and my jokes arent funny anymore”

I just watched the show and don’t understand how anyone could defend or like Rampage at this point (other than Roberto). He’s not funny and a total douche!

Well I like Rampage too[still]. I know he robbed us fans of a good match-up, but I like the “Hollywood move”. BA BAracus rules!!

I realize he’s a horrible coach, I already knew that. I won’t react to things that’s obvious even from the start. It would have been another thing if being a coach was his job, it’s not his job is to get ppl interested in a reality series, most ppl watch tv to be entertained atleast i do.

RoBerto, come out from Rampage’s arzz and get some air man! This show is TOTALLY based on star fighter teaching the rookies how its done right from the start. Stop saying…

“he’s not a coach”,
“he’s a fighter”,
“his job is to get ppl interested”

How about you stop making excuses for the guy. RAMPAGE accepted the coaching position…TWICE! He knew this was a “coaching” job, as the position is called “ULTIMATE FIGHTER COACH”. Makes sense now?

one more thing, I HATE Evans, so I’m not being biased at all.

He did accept, but Rampage did it to gain exposure like any other smart person in a business would. I guess they had some convincing to do too when they asked him, but bottom line is that they asked him to coach on the season because they knew he and Rashad would mean big ratings. They ALREADY KNEW Page was a terrible coach which was clear to see on TUF 7, and still wanted him on! blame TUF and the UFC if anything for wanting to make money.

also, stop being so serious and accept that it’s entertainment, not some political sh!t. just kick back and relax. I hate Rashad too btw, he’s a great coach and a good fighter but i can’t stand him, he acts like a kid trying to be god.

FIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT***

MMA Big Show’s November 28 event entitled ‘Onslaught’:

Junie Browning (3-1) will face Scott Cornwell (1-0) in the main event at the Belterra Casino Resort & Spa in Indiana.

FIGHT NEWS***

UFC has signed 20 year old, Canadian, Undefeated King of the Cage champion Rory MacDonald (9-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) to a multifight deal. He will compete as a welterweight

Nice was wondering when Rory was gonna be given his shot. He’s pretty tough. Also Ricardo Munch out of Team Link (Gonzaga’s team) just signed with the UFC- Another tough kid.

As far as rampage, god does he ever stop making excuses. This guy whines more than Arona. Don’t tell us your life story, just admit you left your guys hanging out to dry. You’d get the firing squad if this was a war.

Rory’s a great fighter but still too young imo for the UFC. I know he’s 19 but its often nice to actually have a loss on your record before you come. It’s great for him and I wish him luck but it’ll be extremely overwhelming for him as he’s only 19. Great fighter though. He’s finished all 9 of his fights!!

I feel the same way NNR. I’ve been a Rampage fan for a few years now and all of his recent antics over the past year have been hard for me to stomach. Unforunately this season of TUF is the last straw for me. I’m out of excuses for him and I’m out of the Rampage business altogether now. I’ll let John have him all to himself lol

you think I am happy with the way Rampage has been acting? I hate it! But I judge fighters on how they perform in the cage, and since he BRINGS IT, everytime he fights minus the Forrest fight., I will stilll be a fan..especially since he is a legit top fighter, who paid his dues in the game!

Pretty bad coach though for sure!

actually, Curly, Forrest won both rounds of that fight very decisively before he got caught with that one good punch. So don’t say Rashad had little trouble with him. Rashad was getting schooled for the first 10 minutes of that fight.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing Shonuff. I could bet one thing regardless if he got in with MAchida or Shad, neither one of them are knocking out the hard headed SOB-that is Rampage. Also, I don’t recall the fight exactly but did Forrest win a split against PAge? Also, if I recall many people thought PAge took 3 of the rounds, is that correct? I am just thinking anyway. People still forget Forrest is still a top 5 LHW to many of the ranking lists. So there is no shame in losing to that….

Page peaked and lost interest in fighting after he finally KOed Wand…

same here, shonuff.. i still don’t see how forrest won that fight unamious.. bad judging always sucks, but that bad? on a title fight? c’mon!~

and mc~art said it best, page “lost interest after he finally ko’d wand”

I think Forrest won that fight. I think they should have 5 judges as opposed to 3. That would fix some of the screw ups, or would it cause more?

Same here Shonuff, horrible judging on that fight. One idiot had it 49-46, giving Forrest a round in which he was knocked down. I had it as 47-47 or 48-46 Rampage (R2 was 10-8 Forrest), he didn’t perform to his best but Forrest didn’t do enough to win that fight and the title in my opinion.

I like jay’s idea…either 5 judges or make all main card fights 5 rounders

He along with all fighters who enter the cage after a fight, was pushed in by Dana. Do you think fighters just get up and walk in to talk trash? They are made to talk trash.

Come on dude,lets be real Shads no saint.He talks big sht thats 1 reason i like him.He grabbed his frckn nuts and smacked Forrest upside his head in the middle of a title fight.I guess Mir doesnt talk sht eitha.

Tito ducked Liddell for years! He wouldn’t defend his title against the No1 Contender, so Dana finally had to bypass him and have a title fight between Chuck and Randy.
