UFC 114 - Rampage VS Evans - 29.05.10

[The Mad Ghost]

Who is going to win, who is going to get knocked the fucck out?

My money is on Rampage, because he's never trained so hard for a fight in his entire career, he uses his mind to calculate some of the most ruthless wins over UFC Champions - But then again, Rashad Evans has been training the RIGHT WAY for a powerful dude like Rampage, it's highly likely Rashad could bag this.

 

[Dust 2 Dust]

If this fight had happened a year ago I would have taken Rampage, but I think Rashad is gonna win it. Rampage hasn't fought in almost 15 months and the ring rust from his acting career is gonna cost him in the ring. I predict Rashad by TKO in the 1st or 2nd round.

What! Rashad in the 1st or 2nd by TKO? Dude are you forgetting who he is fighting? Rampage has only ever been beaten by TKO 3 times in his career.

Rashad cannot stand toe-to-toe with Rampage, he has too much of a glass jaw, scrambled egg legs and will get ROCKED! Didn't you see how Thaigo Silva dropped him in UFC 108 - and Rampage has stronger striking power than Thiago - That was fight was stolen - All he did was take him down GSP style, he cannot compensate this for stand up against Rampage. So Rashad is going to have to bounce around the ring trying takedowns to avoid Rampage's fist - about Rampage having months off for a film, don't forget he hardly ever trains for his fights.

Rampage 2nd-3rd round by KO.

I, for one, am just excited that this damn match is finally taking place. I'm rootin for Evans, but I like both fighters.

I'd like to see Rampage get back some of that "fresh killer from the streets" he had going on in 2007. Since he came to the UFC, all he's heard from everybody is how he needs to become more technical and develop a ground game, but he is a clobbermeister and should run with it.

 

[Lexington]

If it ends by KO, Rashad is the one who's going to sleep. I don't see Rashad knocking Rampage out. However, he might outfox him by moving in and out and scoring takedowns to ride out a decision. I don't know how the long layoff will affect Rampage. But if he is 100% I think his takedown defense will be too much for Rashad and on the feet, Rampage has the advantage.

Rampage KO's Evans in 2nd round for the Lulz.

Evans Gameplan:
- Use fence to get Takedown
- Avoid Rampage's Ape Smash and Takedown
- Gain a decision win
- Leg Kick and shoot

Evans fate?:
- Gets knocked out whilst talking smack
- Gets knocked out

 

[FairShake]

Man, I should've spoken up. Doubt anyone will believe (or care) but this fight went the way I figured it would. UD by Rashad with some kind of "stalling" as his game plan. I figured his speed would win out over Rampage's strength, which, in the end, wasn't that impressive.

Rampage APPEARED not to care about this fight. Which is fine by me. While gifted as hell with alot of great wins he has become more of a professional wrestler than a fighter over the last couple years.

 

[TheBucketOfTruth]

Rampage is little more than a cartoon character to me. I wanted Evans to win the fight and he did, end of story.

Rashad didn't win, he danced around looking for a takedown as per usual.

A cop out to stand up against somebody he knew could knock him into tommorow.

What rounds did Rashad have? Considering it was a 3-rounder crock of shyt? Given 5 rounds, Rashad would've got gotten. 2nd round was Rampage's, Rashad got 2 takedowns in the 3rd and got a UM for it?

That is why Rashad has very few fans - all that smack talk about how hes going to knock out Rampage and yet he didn't land any punches, but danced around avoiding toe-to-toe, UFC should be called UWC - Ultimate Wrestling Championships.

 

[Dust 2 Dust]

Rampage needs to either stick to acting or fighting full time. You can't do both. As they say in boxing, "never bet on a guy who hasn't fought in a year."

LOL U MAD?

Yet another Rashad nuthugger.

Like I said before what rounds out of the 3, did Rashad have?

Amazing, obviously actually believes Rashad deserves a title shot

All you're favourite WWE wrestler did was hug up against a man in a Mixed Martial Arts ring. Rampage took the punch - 1st round, thus why he didn't get downed, Rashad got clobbered in the 2nd round and was looking like a fish fresh out of the water as usual - You're main man is going to get his running-away azz kicked by Shogun anyhow, and he'll make it a boring fight for all of us. I know it's Shoguns fight, I just hope he get the 1st round so it isn't another wasted PPV.

Lol @ this Rashad fan - Why does he have more Unanimous Decision wins than TKO's? Why couldn't he down a master at takedown and submission - Lyota Machida? Machida KNOCKED him out, What happend when Thiago Silva rocked him like Rampage did? Yet you cheerlead for this fraud.

Poo.

I never understood how disrespectful he so called UFC "Fans," Are these days.

It takes more skill and experience to win on the ground IE "Wrestling,' As opposed to knocking out someone hence why alot more fighters opt to learn "Boxing," As opposed to trying to get proficient in wrestling.

It takes longer to get better at ground game as opposed to boxing.

The fight at hand now.

I never understood Rashad's whole "Monkey," Routine coming into the fight that always freaked me out haha as well as his taunting in the cage during the fight.

Rashad was to fast and landed hits which equals points...I didnt see any time he was in trouble except for the 2nd round and even then most of Rampages hits barely even hit Rashad.

Rampage was extremely slow in this fight and like HE said "Ring rust," Played a big factor.

The real problem I had with the PPV was the lil nog fight..he should not have won but because his nae is Nog he wins..so stupid.

Tod getting KO'd in the 3rd was horrible...

Towards the end, the best Jackson could hope for was a knockout. He landed a very good hit on Evans which had him clearly dazed, but then Jackson let him recover, and that was it. If he had really gone after Evans after clobbering him, then he might have had a chance. It's certainly possible, given Jackson's comments at the end of the fight, is that he "put all his eggs in that basket" and didn't have anything left to throw out at that moment.
