Rampage Jackson: I'll powerbomb Ryan Bader if he's dumb enough to let me

SLAM! duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh ...
Former PRIDE Fighting Championship superstar Quinton Jackson, who was able to transition to Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) back in 2007 and win light heavyweight gold, returns to the "Land of the Rising Sun" for a 205-pound showdown against former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 8 Champion Ryan Bader.
"Rampage" will throw hands with "Darth" on the main card of the UFC 144: "Edgar vs. Henderson" pay-per-view (PPV), which goes down on Feb. 25, 2012, from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
What's the gameplan for Jackson?
Well, aside from putting on a "great fight," he plans on taking out his anger, which came from losing a title shot to Jon Jones at UFC 135 last September, on his unsuspecting foe, even promising to "powerbomb him" if the opportunity presents itself.
Or if Bader is dumb enough to let him.
From his UFC 144 blog (via Yahoo! Sports):
"I get to fight in Japan for the first time in six years. It's no secret I love Japan. Japan is where I became a MMA fighter, it is where I made a name for myself and learned how to kick ass. The fans there are so respectful, I can't wait to perform for them again. I really, really want a sick knockout for them, and maybe even I'll do my powerbomb if Bader is dumb enough to give me the chance. Some haters have said now that I didn't get my belt back after three years of waiting for my shot, I'm not going to be motivated in my fighting career. That is what my English friends call 'bollocks.' I am very motivated to kick Bader's ass. I was a little pissed off and disappointed that I didn't get my belt back and I was upset with my performance [at UFC 135]. I'm going to take that out on Ryan Bader and - in front of the Japanese fight fans - put on a great fight."
Jackson made the highlight reel hall-of-fame by driving Ricardo Arona through the canvas at PRIDE: "Critical Countdown" in June of 2004. He also slammed his way to victory over Masaaki Satake at PRIDE: "Armed and Ready" way back in April of 2002.
Is Bader next?
Hard to imagine the former collegiate wrestling stud being on his back looking for a submission, but stranger things have happened. Expect this thing to play out on its feet or turn into wrestlemania if Bader can't go blow-for-blow.
Early predictions on this 205-pound slugfest?

Dangerous fight for Rampage
Rampage fights his worst when he doesn’t think his opponent is on his level. If Bader fights smart and transitions well, he could win on Takedowns.

Blasphemy

Whatever you do don't read history books, don't study the constitution, do everything you can possibly do to be happy in life. Just don't ever get involved in your government, big brother will take care of you. Your elected officials always do what's in your best interest, there is no corruption in our government, good little sheep, just make yourself happy, just entertain yourself, the government is only here to entertain you and take care of you and feed you and make you happy, don't you worry your little head over world affairs.

Such STUPID matchmaking
Page vs Shogun II would have blown the roof off Saitama. Who in Japan has ever even heard of Ryan Bader?! Just plain stupid! The UFC sure doesn’t seem very interested in drawing the PRIDE fans in Japan to the UFC with this lame card. No Wandy, no Nog, no Hendo, no Shogun…those guys are gods in Japan! Just stupid!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
can't imagine this fight being exciting
It could have an exciting finish via rampage ko.Ryan bader will circle around looking to do two things 1)throw that awful overhand left 2)shoot for a takedown.

Bader won't have anything for Rampage,
he has a bit of power but his striking sucks and his wrestling isnt good enough to cause Page problems, hopefully rampage finishes him i mean if tito can drop bader..

Dude got dropped by Ortiz, he’s got no chance standing with Page and I really doubt he’ll be able to take him down enough to get a decision.

he got dropped by tito because he didn't respect tito's stand-up
He’ll respect rampage power and will kindly circle the cage (like hamill) rampage has to force the action

The Only Thing That Happened in That Fight Was
Jones choking Ramage out. That was the most boring and uneventfull fight up to that point.

by G Squat on Feb 17, 2012 3:18 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
agree
IMO i love rampage but I believe he gets almost too much respect
no bady wants to really stand with except Jones.
Shogun is probably the only guy at this time that wouldnt pussyfoot with him and just throw hands.

well for one he's still winning fights, he's not doing a BJ penn and flitting about getting fat all the time
since the A-team movie (when he was fat as hell) he’s always been in good shape trained hard, hasn’t looked terrible at all, I do think his killer instinct has gone as of recent years, he couldve finished Hamill I think if he just went for it.

Ithink that could hurt him more than help
Rampage likes the Japanese girls a LOT more than he likes training. A lot of distractions and Bader isn’t a guy he’s gonna be motivated to train hard for.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Alright just curious....
I get the Machida win being close/controversial. But what was the other one? Jardine? Hamill?
You mind your own damn business.
by jestermarcus on Feb 17, 2012 5:34 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
neither were controversial :)
I can see why the machida one was..but other than that nothing at all.
considering before that machida fight everyone was saying rampage is too slow, he’s gonna get picked apart blah blah blah he has no fire left. he did a fucking good job only shogun beat him prior so yeah. Rampage aint no scrub, I don’t get the hate

Honestly I feel that Bader is a bigger threat than Hammill ever was
Power in his hands and much faster with the takedowns. You won’t ever convince me to pick him in this fight but, there it is.

it's incredibly cool to see, don't get me wrong
And the sheer power and core strength required is impressive as hell. But its the headbutt on the way down/impact that scored to knockout.

I think that was the intent..
Hardly anyone gets a slam off THAT hard…
Even if he didn’t hit the back of his head.. He was gonna have the wind knocked out of him…and Rampage is vicious as hell ground/pound wise…
Arona was done after this however it went down mechanically …

true i think his last ko was wandy ..
So every morning this guy comes to my apartment complex to collect cans out of the dumpster he then crushes them .. turns out the guys name is fedor ..
If Machida hadnt let go of his triangle in the 3rd.
He would have been power bombed.
