Wow. I guess these two gentlemen really don't get along after all.
Though we were all witnesses to the drama that unfolded on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 last fall, some people still viewed the beef between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and "Suga" Rashad Evans as somewhat of a facade. Well, if that's the case, the two light heavyweights successfully carried their brilliant acting performances to today's UFC 114 media call.
Below is a brief transcription of the verbal warfare that took place during the call.
Rampage: "It'd just be a moral victory for me. He has no title. He couldn't even defend it, you know? I didn't even know why I was fighting him. But after being on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10, now I know why, it's to teach guys like this a lesson. This ain't gonna be a big accomplishment for me. What has he done? I was the first undisputed champion in this sport. He hasn't done anything compared to me. This is a step backwards. He's real fake and real cocky for someone that hasn't done nothing."
Rashad: "I was a world champion man. I got the belt off the guy who beat you [Forrest Griffin]. Where's your belt? You don't got nothing either. So we're the same aren't we?"
Rampage: "We're no where near the same."
Rashad: "That's right, I'm better than you."
Rampage: "You can't do nothing better than me."
Rashad: "Hey, the best thing about all this s**t talking is that in two weeks we get to see what happens. And please be at your best. Let me know what I can do to make sure you're at your best."
Rampage: "Just show up. At the end of the day on May 29, you know you're getting your a** kicked."
Sounds legit to me. And that's only the first three minutes. I strongly suggest you listen to the rest of the call courtesy of Cagewriter.
So who won the opening exchange, "Rampage" or Evans?

Rampage
Is better and will win KO/TKO round 1 i wouldnt mind Rashad winning but nothing and i do mean nothing has been showed by Rashad to say he can take Rampage out. Rampage Shogun II here we goooo!
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Definitely Rampage.
Rashad has a glass jaw. He got outstruck by Tito. The only way he beat T. Silva was b/c the UFC wrestler friendly lay/pray/wait technique.
He can try to throw multiple leg kicks but that will open him up for a counter strike on the chin.
Rampage by ko.
This fight is not going to be fan friendly at all....
I hope everyone is ready to be let down by this one. I can see Rashad doing 1 of 2 things. Using the tactic Bisping used against leben, except with leg kicks as opposed to pitter-patter shots. Or he will jab, disengage, shot for a takedown, lay and pray, get stood up, rinse and repeat, and attempt to exploit Rampage’s cardio.
For some reason, I just see shad frustrating Page, waiting for him to get tired, and squeaking out a close and BORING decision.
Once again, the fans get let down…

As long as Rashad wins I won't feel letdown
Grudge matches usually end up disappointing anyway. There’s no way that Rashad is going to stand and bang with Rampage, he’s got more sense than that. I’ll be happy watching him outwrestle Rampage and prove that he is an elite fighter.

I'm just tired of over-hyped letdowns..
I’ll take the low key match-ups that turn into classics (a la Garcia vs Zombie) any day…

Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won... but still avoids the UFC!
Cole- that's
the way I see Rasahd winning it.
Garcia vs. Zombie was an entertaining brawl but I would not rate it a classic. Miller vs. Bocek is a good example of a low key match turning into a classic.

Rashad outwrestle Rampage???
In his dreams maybe. Rampage could outwrestle that two-faced little prick with one leg tied behind his back. Rampage is a much stronger and better wrestler than Rashad. Rashad’s only hope in this fight is to stick-n-move and use his handspeed and footwork to outrun Rampage and pepper him with jabs to outscore him on the cards. If he tries to stand in the pocket, Page will knock him out. If it goes to the ground, Page will break him in half. If Page comes in shape, Rashad’s only game is to outmaneuver him and take it to the scorecards.
I am struggling to find this beast-man that your post indicates. The only Rampage I have witnessed is the athlete vulnerable to let downs and more interested in other pursuits outside of MMA.

i would rather seem them slug it out in this one
SOOOOOOOO Much hype More than i have ever had to sit and listen to.. This fight needs to end in a KO! I like Fighters that have a wrestling base but No Fucking way can this turn into a Wrestling match!
Open up the Shit Gates and where the Hell was Marv?
I don’t know man, why would you think the small guy would be able to bully the big guy? I can’t ever see that happening. Rashad couldn’t take it to Tito and was put on his ass so many times and he was getting controlled in the clinch for the most part.
Rampage i would imagine is much stronger than Tito is and a better standup fighter and wrestler actually.
someone else's success brings pain.
If he does go with the wrestling strategy, I'm sure he would wait until the seond half of the 2nd round.
Knowing how notoriously out of shape Rampage gets, Jackson would have Shad using lots of movement and leg kick to suck all Page’s energy… Then he would begin taking him down..
’’They've done studies you know... 60% of the Time, it works every Time...’’ – Brian Fantana
He’s notorious for being in shape come fight time, Cardio has never been a factor in any of Rampage’s fights.
This fight won’t be a mind game, it will come down to who the better man is. Rampage is ready for everything. ppl need to look at technique/skill instead of yapping about shit like “game plans”
someone else's success brings pain.
Ya cause good game plans never wins fights

Rashad's KO power!
Besides Chuck all of his other KO’s are pounding out wins with his hands. He does not have the KO power to take out Rampage. 15 knees and a handful of soccer kicks and Rampage was still standing in front of Wandy and Shogun. Rashad does not have that kind of offense and while he may have better head movement, Rampage has the better hands and true KO power.
I was a fool for ever doubting Shogun. I should be ashamed for never giving him a chance to get healthy. Shogun made Machida look B-level-Just like my bet made me look b-level!
no actually not.
out performing your opponent and being better in an area wins the fight.

Speed Kills
Look at the last few UFC LHW title fights where the title has changed hands and recently it has all been about speed and this could got back to 6 years ago when the rule is Broken by Couture fighting a very mentally worn Vitor. But look at it Liddell beats Couture (do doubt Liddell was faster and more explosive), Rampage beats Liddell (again it was clear Rampage had the explosiveness that night), Gump vs Bump (Gump was in better shape and was quicker that night), I guess the first round of Forrest and Shad was one sided to Forrest but the second round Shad got the spark, Shad vs Machida (Machida was so much quicker to the punch that night) and Shogun was able to time Machida and beat him to the punch in both of their fights.
I like Rashad in this, he is so much quicker, had KO power and that is all you need. Rampage has RIDICULOUS power but that is just over the top and YES Rashad is the much better wrestler, I mean are you kidding me? People tried comparing Hendo and Page fighting but that is different. Hendo is not a true LHW but rather a MW and he was Greco Roman which is not based off of the Chute which Shads free style is so do not compare the too. I might get blasted for taking Shad in this one but this is just the way I see it.

A bit of an extremeist much?
Tell I am wrong then that every time in the last 6 years when the best has changed hands the speedier guy won. It is a trend I have noticed and I think many people are underestimating Rashad in this one.

yeah, I've heard that from many sources.
Apparently, Tito hates Ortiz so much that he shacked up with a sleazy porn star just to make him look bad. Then Ortiz beat up Tito’s girlfriend.
Personally, I can’t stand either of them I also don’t like Rashad and Evans. Both of them are douchebags too. I hope Rampage knocks them both out.
yeah, tito and ortiz really hate each other, just like chuck and liddell hate each other....

Don't be fooled.
Rampage really hates Rashad b/c he’s an over-hyped UFC TUF alumni that loves to run his mouth over his non-accomplishments.
Rashad hate for Rampage isn’t really genuine; however, he specializes in talking crap so it appears to be real.
Also, Rampage doesn't like black people.
He said so back when he was calling out Randleman in PRIDE. He wants to be the only black guy in the sport. It really pissed him off when Randleman slammed Fedor. He was like, "No hi didn’t! How he finna steal my move? Japan ain’t big enough for two brothers that slam folk! I’mma hafta whoop his ass now!
delldog, well said!
That’s what I’ve been saying about Shad all along.

Gotta say, I'm really sick of seeing this....
“Rampage really hates Rashad b/c he’s an over-hyped UFC TUF alumni”-delldog
The UFC hype machine does not get into the cage with anyone. Rashad is being hyped for actually winning fights. He beat Forrest and Page couldn’t. These stats are not made up by the UFC hype machine.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
If Rampage comes out aggressive I don't see how Rashad will make it out of the first round!!!
Rashad defense sucks!! Look at what happened when Silva got aggressive in the last round of their fight
" The pain that you carry is the love that you never showed "
rashad has 1 loss to another 1 loss opponent. machida.
rampage has many loses and will lose again on may 29th in las vegas at the mgm grand arena. i already got him at +105. i already told another guy and he said he got rashad at even money and on his wagering sports betting website it has moved to -120 rashad. by the time the fight starts i could see -150. peace.

Uhh yea ...
…. and three of those loses were to two of the best fighters ever , Wandy twice and Shogun . Also he has nearly double the wins Rashad does but that didn’t fit in did it ? Rampage will beat him its just a matter of how .

Shad all the way on this one
He’s just too quick for Page. He’s an amazing wrestler and an even better striker. I can’t imagine why any source would favor Rampage to win this fight….I’m not saying it couldn’t happen because it’s by a narrow margin that Shad outclasses him…..but with Page’s ring rust, the odds just favor Shad to win here. To say “Rampage will beat him, it’s just a matter of how” makes you sound like a noob.
And you ...
….using the word " noob " makes you look like a douche nozzle . So here you go Page via KO . Rashad does have the speed advantage , but lacks the power to KO Page . That said when he uses his speed advantage Rampage will use his superior boxing skills and power advantage to catch him , much like the slower Thiago Silva , and Rashad will be doing the " Stanky Leg " all over again . And honestly too much is made over this ring rust crap .

Ring rust has lost fights for a lot of good fighters lately. Maybe that is why it is being brought up so much.
Because, it is a real entity and does affect fighters.
This is what happens when you bet on a loser like Cote, I should have listened to David W-S
I just can't see it ...
…. affecting Rampage . Thats just my opinion .
by MidWayMonster54 on May 18, 2010 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions
yeah
he’s unlike any other fighter, ring-rust doesn’t affect him.
wait…what? why?
Also rampage is notorious for letting himself go after fights. He doesn’t stay in top condition, he has a binge/purge mentality. Not the healthiest, but i guess it works for him.
HOWEVER- I have to agree that he’s going to come in with a lot of ring rust, and he’s going to fight very emotionally. He’s going to be winging bombs, swinging for the cage, and making mean faces the whole night.
I’d like a KO, but i see an end similar to the forest fight. Page will look great the first 3-4 minutes, and will fade faster than (insert appropriate thing that fades unusually fast here).

I see this fight going o decision with rashad being the victor.
I dont think rashad wil knock rampage out. And Ramapage has been out of the octogon for a LONG time. I dont see rampage being all that dominant
Rashad has KO power....
He KO’d Salmon with a head kick, Chuck Lidell with a punch, Forrest Griffin with GNP. Anything can happen in an MMA fight. Who predicted Machida to get KO’d in Rd 1 by Shogun. I sure didn’t. Let’s see how it goes down, but my money is on Rashad.
And which one of those ...
… fighters you listed still has a chin or a career for that matter ? Chuck had been KO’d already ( Rashad got Pages sloppy seconds there ) , Salmons is a never was and Forrest is punch drunk already in his career . So really give me a real name who has a chin he KO’d . How bout Tito ? Tito’s chin is suspect and he didn’t KO him . Look at who Rampage has KO’d Wandy & Chuck ( Page was the first to do so for some time ) . At the time both still could take some punishment and Page got them with one .

i've got a feeling.....
That evans has a game plan that uses lots and lots of leg kicks, just a feeling, but i would be very surprised if he even threw a punch in the first half of the fight, unless it was a setup for a kick. (i’m being sarcastic)

I’m with you mmachiro.. Evans all the way!!! I really don’t see why Rampage would say that when he couldn’t defend it either? I did like how Evans came back on him..

I believe he is not going to Stand N Bang! He’s going to come with the same stratergy as he did for Thiago Silva…or try at least… Rampage Will catch him coming in. KO!!

Call me ignorant David but I’m not sure how big certain songs are/were over there, but I think a hilarious intro song for Rashad to use to cap this all of would be:

Any of you guys use it? I don’t but, maybe you guys can help? If you followed Rashad on Twitter could you msg him and him actually be able to view it? Someone should shoot him a twit or twat or whatever and say “Hey use ’I’m sorry Ms Jackson for your intro!”, then if he actually did, come Monday morning we could be like “Hey did you see that sh*t he listened!”

Sorry Ms. Jackson (obviously)
B.O.B (bombs over baghdad)
Roses

Haha good stuff
To be honest the only Outkast song I know is Hey Ya but that was some funny shit, hopefully Rashad does come out to something original like that. I wish more fighters would use their entrance music to make fun of their opponent.

David WS,
I’ve heard rumor that there is only a very select list to choose from for intro songs in UFC. I always wish I could get a proper answer on if that’s true because if it is its super lame, and if not where is the creativity? Like look at boxers? They got some real funny ones.

I'm not sure mate but I wouldn't be surprised
Dong Hyun Kim was supposed to come out to the DJ Sammy remix of Heaven for the Matt Brown fight and Dana took the piss out of him on his vlog then in the end Kim came out to a different generic song. Since then I’ve been dubious about how much control the fighters actually have over the songs and I’ve heard some things about Dana having the final say over what these guys pick. The fact that they always get dubbed over in the DVDs anyway because of copyright I don’t see why they shouldn’t be able to pick their own songs, there doesn’t seem to be any legislative reason anyway. Typical Dana, the guy is a control freak and wants to be in charge of everything, even something as trivial as entrance music. No wonder guys like Swick listen to their ipods on their way to the cage and most entrances are so generic.

that was my thought on headphones too
If they were allowed to pick their own songs why would they wear headphones? Just play whatever song is on there for your intro. I think there’s a list. And a pretty short one at that. Kinda lame if there is. I mean maybe since you’re Dana and need money for everything charge them an extra 100.00 for a song not on the list or something lol.

Think I read somewhere...
that listening to loud/fast music can build adrenaline. Many athletes will listen to music before/while they work out, not just for the rhythm. You would think that the screaming fans would have the same affect. Eh, just a thought.
You would rather have a lexus, some justice, a dream or some substance?

They get to pick it, but Dana has to approve
fuckin wanker…… dana obviously has to compensate for a small penis by having a huge ego.
but anyways, yeah, they can pick their song, but Dana has to approve.

makes sense
Like your description of how it works makes sense. The fact they have to do that is stupid. Radio edit version of each song and then there is no issue at all.

So hopefully we hear something, but I won’t hold my breath! It’ll just be all the cooler if it does work out then. Lol. We all know Shad and Page beak back and forth on the regular on Twitter so its not like they don’t use the thing.

I really don't like Rashad
but he would move further up my list if he chose that song.
that would be too damn funny……

ya im kinda impartial to the both of em to be honest
I like that Rashad is a smart man, I enjoy his intelligent convo’s but don’t care for his fights much.
As for Page, I rarely if ever find him funny anymore, he’s kind of worn on me a bit, but I really enjoy his mean animosity he brings when the cage closes.
So I’m kinda torn on the whole thing.

Im so over it
Im so tired of this trash talk. They dont even know how to talk trash right. They r both uneducated fighters talking nonsense. Before someone says oh Rashad went to college he is educated! I know Evans went to MSU, but I live in MI and know u dont have to be a genius to go to MSU. Pretty much just have to graduate HS. Sweet ass party school I will add though. Anyways Im tired of this and just cant wait for them to fight. Ayone else notice that Rampage looks fat as hell in the primetime? I want Rampage to win and think he is the better fighter but if hes out of shape, he is in trouble.
I think the weight cut is going to hurt Page in this fight… I say he is going to gas in the second round and Evans will finish him….
What
When has the weight cut ever been a problem? He says during the call, he is training for a 5 round fight, but well see.

Says he always ion shpe and it about 50/50 if hes telling the truth. I think by just his look in camp that he is way overwieght and will have to cut way to much and it will cost him. I totally agree with tap

I really do
Take a look at the Hendo vs Shields fight.. The weight cut killed Hendo in that fight… And Page is a hell of a lot bigger than Hendo is….
Hendo is also known to look gassed in all of his fights. I’ve followed him since back in Pride and he’d look even more tired in fights back then.
There’s nothing wrong with Quinton’s gas tank and he’s never had problem making weight. So your speculations are really crap at best.
someone else's success brings pain.
A-Team!
Hes also never took this much time off either RoBerto
he’s been a pro athlete for i don’t how long, he doesn’t need to train as hard anymore. If you have a gas tank it’s easy to keep it and get it back.
someone else's success brings pain.
He used to fight 10 min rounds in Pride and went 5 rounds with Hendo and Forrest.
When have you ever seen Rashad look fresh after 3 rds? he can’t keep his mouth closed and he’s literally drooling over his sweaty ass.
someone else's success brings pain.
yeah, he over trained. He got exhausted. if you had ever been training hard you would know that you just don’t lose a gas tank like that. If you train hard when you’re younger you’re good, it’s not like Page has been away for 3 yrs from training.
someone else's success brings pain.
Now wait!!!!!!
You just said if you have a good gas tank it’s easy to keep it and get it back?? But then you say he over trained, but he’s a pro athlete and he doesn’t need to train hard anymore right? He is a pro hahaha… Doesn’t make sense to me
Train
Every single one of those guys train their ass off for each and every fight… If they don’t then it shows big time!!!! You can say what you will about his gas tank but when it comes down to him cutting all this weight it is going to hurt him… He will gas in the sencond round and Rashad is going to have his way with him… And if he didn’t train 100% then he is in for a long, long, long night!!!!!
yes i said that, yes he over trained (common problem for all athletes in pro sports) and when that happens it doesn’t really matter if you have good cardio or not.
someone else's success brings pain.
Roberto
Same name as me lol… I just hope it’s a great fight… I hope they beat the hell out of one another for 3 rounds… I will be happy!!!
Nonsense
Your a pro athlete so not training as hard is no big deal. Ok that makes u a moron if u believe that. The best train their ASS off and that why page will never be the best. For the record he is my favoirte fighter along with BJ. But unfortunatly they both slack off in training sometimes and it shows.
Page could be the best
But your right to be the most important thing is his endurance, if he’s tired in the later rounds Rua will KO him out. Him and BJ are naturally gifted but lack in the training as did Hendo but they are all talented enough to be champs and have been.

but not any more
The LHW division (as well as all of MMA in general) has evolved to the point where simple talent isn’t enough to get the belt. You need talent, endurance, and just a little bit of lady luck on your side. He was champ, sure, and he deserved it: PAGE IS A BEAST. But unless he puts the other pieces of the puzzle together he will never be champion again.

Page doesn't have a bad gas tank but it's not good either
I think Evans last opponent Silva is comparable to Pages but I doubt Evans will be able to get Page down as easily.

You are talking about a naturl LHW cutting to MW though. I really dont see the comparison.

Hendo has a bad tank and always has
Since I can remeber even agaisnt NOG he did very well in Pride until the second round then he gased hard. Him and PAge both have the same problem they hate training.

Yeah my house is million miles away still doesn`t mean shit
I don`t using the length of time I have been watching MMA in my arguements but anybody that has watched MMA from the Hendo Pride days understands Hendo`s cardio is his weakness, was and still is. I`m one of his biggest fans man and all his interviews and coverage I watched and many times he has stated his hate for training. After UFC 100 he didn`t start training tell Feb. and was 230-240lbs and stated he was enjoying his time off, and staying away from training. Hendo in the first round might be the best MW and LHW in the world but rounds two on is a different story.

i was making a joke, that since he lived by me id go “set him straight” and get his cardio on par
what is it that you thought me saying he trains by where i live, actually would mean?

He gassed against Lil Nog as well in the MW GP
Hendo’s always had horrible cardio and it’s cost him a bunch of fights. Really there is no excuse for not training hard so I hate it when guys like Hendo and Rampage use being lazy to justify some of their losses, at the end of the day training is an integral part of fighting and if you don’t do it properly then it’s your own fault and you deserve to lose.

...A long night for Rampage...
I’ve always been a Rampage fan, but I think he’s in for a tough lesson…. & it has nothing to do with Rashad Evans. He has taken a long layoff, has been dealing with many distractions for quite a while now, & is at a questionable-level training camp, while Evans, despite a tough loss to Machida (which can make a dedicated fighter a much better fighter) has been focused, working on his game, maturing, & in the mix the whole time Rampage was away.
I don’t think any fighter, including one as talented as Rampage, can afford to be away from the game & unfocused as long as Rampage has & still fight at an elite level…. the MMA game has evolved way past that. I’m taking Rashad Evans on this one.

Rampage by total domination
Rashad has no chin. We seen that in the machida fight n the thiago silva fight. He hit em with 1 punch towards the end of the fight and he was on queer street the only reason he won was bc silva didn’t try finsh the fight. We will all see in about 2 weeks.
by Getknockedmma1 on May 18, 2010 8:39 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I cant call a winner in this one....
In my opinion these guy are very similar, both of their strengths are boxing and wrestling and their both pretty even in those two styles, but the difference is Rampage has more power/strength and rashad has more speed/agility, so i wont be surprised if ether one of them Knocks the other the F*** out.
by John Rosencrans on May 18, 2010 8:41 PM EDT reply actions
Rampae Has An Iron Chin!
The only way Rashad wins this fight is if he lays on top of Rampage. I do think Shad’s wrestling is just a little better than Page’s but Page has an excellent sprawl and if Shad get’s his takedowns stuffed a couple of times then I think he will try to stand and bang with Page and that will be a big mistake. I think standing Rampage will break his spirit very fast and eventually knock Shad out. My advice for Rashad is to work the leg kicks and time your takedowns because that is the only way I see him winning. I do agree this fight has the potential to be a snooze fest but it also has the potintial to be a barn burner and end in the first round. Either way I’m to curious to not watch it and really hope for a good fight. Knock his bitch ass out Page!

He's only been KO'd out cold the one time that I remember
Where he was hanging limp through the ropes after eating Wand’s knee, but other than that the guy can take a crap load of punishment.

yeah truth
Just giving jimmy dean here a hard time. Rampage definitely has a great chin, but the man can be KO’d. He’s not Garcia or zombie or Hendo, where a KO is literally impossible.
That being said I doubt Rashad KOs im
by Body Triangle on May 19, 2010 9:05 AM EDT up reply actions
I am with you
Rampage can be ko’ed but it’s going to take a flurry of strikes like Wanderlei did back in Pride where he was repeatedly eating knee after knee. Last time I checked rashad isn’t a Muai Thai wrecking machine like Wand was back in Pride and Rampage has a lot better hands than Chuck he proved that twice. Anyone can be knocked out. Big Nog proved that theory to be correct.
I could not possibly care less about these two.
Except that ‘Page is in a movie with Liam Neeson. After Taken, I’ll watch any movie that dude is in.
You can't be serious?
Do you even like MMA? lol Everybody should want to see this fight!
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won... but still avoids the UFC!
