(When he told her it was time to retire and give up the game for good, a tearful Paris Hilton told Dana: "But I am the game!" Only then did he fully understand the devils of fame and the ransom they demand. True story.)
- UFC president Dana White talked with Inside Fighting about the disappointing main event at UFC 97, and he also reiterated his commitment to keeping Chuck Liddell firmly in retirement, saying, “Believe me, it will be a fucking war if he tries not to retire, believe me.” When pressed on other rapidly aging fighters who might need to be nudged into retirement, White admitted that Wanderlei Silva and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira “are right there too and yes, I will pull the trigger on them too.” Dear God, he’s not going to kill them, is he?!
- A crazy rumor on the information superhighway says that Fedor Emelianenko and Shinya Aoki will square off against each other in a special grappling match at the “Deep M-1 Challenge 3rd Edition” in Japan on April 29th. I’ll pause a moment and let that one sink in. If true this would be completely insane, but to deny that we would totally want to see it would be to deny the very curiosity of the spirit that makes us human, and we aren’t about to do that.
- After submitting David Bielkheden with a rear naked choke on the undercard of UFC 97, Canadian fighter Mark Bocek is going to be out six weeks with a torn ligament. He says he won’t need surgery, just some rehab time, but he tore it a week before the fight and still went out there and achieved anyway. That’s a man for you, right there.
- The UFC heated up the nascent rivalry between Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson by scheduling the two of them for a photo shoot on the same day. Once they were in the same room tensions flared, according to Evans’ retelling of the event:
"I looked at him and I was like, what, man? He was like, ‘Rashad don’t talk to me, man! Don’t talk to me! Don’t say nothin’ to me! You don’t know me! You don’t know me!’ The (expletive) I need to know you for?"
Presumably that’s when the bell rang and they both had to get to class, but you best believe this is going to get settled at the park across the street after school. Do not say anything to your homeroom teacher and blow this thing.

Poor Page, he is beginning to realize he won't ever hold the LHW belt again, and isn't looking forward to the cut to 185.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:03
Chuck gets forced to retire but Randy gets dragged back.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:03
And as far as Aoki v. Fedor............. Nonsense via armbar 2 minutes in. Balderdash I say, BALDERDASH!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:06
Don't you see Fellow, Randy gets dragged back and has to PAY for messing with Dana White. He gets Nog in a loser retires match, and if he loses, he gets a second retirement beating, just for the sake of Danas amusement. That'll teach him to waste Danas money on lawyers.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:09
wrestlers have a longer shelf life than strikers plus randy still fights pretty well, he lost to Lesner but it really wasn't total domination
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:10
Dana should suck a dick. He doesn't own any of the fighters. He can stop them from fighting in the UFC but he should shut up about forcing them to retire.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:11
I can't argue with Silva being short on options, but Nogueira's lost one fight in the UFC so far. Don't be so quick to pounce on him, Dana.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:12
first! fedor and aoki grappling? curious..
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:14
If Shamrock is still out there I think Chuck should be allowed to fight. Even if its getting old hell Coleman was there. Chuck is just getting sloppy and cocky
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:16
it cracks me up that rashad thinks he'll actually win against rampage.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:27
I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF RASHADS BUT HE HAS A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF BEATING RAMPAGE THEN RAMPAGE HAS WITH BEATING RASHAD. I THINK RASHAD WILL RUN OVER TOP OF THAT STUPID MOTHER FUCKER, AND HE WILL PROBABLY DO IT EASIER THEN ANYONE ELSE EVER HAS. RAMPAGE IS REALLY NOT ALL THAT MUCH OF A FIGHTER. HE JUST HITS HARD, AND CAN SLAM A MAN THROUGH THE CANVAS. OTHER THEN THAT HE'S A BEAT MAN ALREADY. RASHAD IS A FUCKING ANIMAL THAT IS SO MUCH FASTER THEN RAMPAGE. THEY ARE BOTH SMART ASS COCKY MOTHER FUCKER, AND I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A FAST PACED FIGHT THAT WILL END QUICKLY WITH RASHAD PUTTING HIM TO SLEEP WITH ONE OF THOSE NASTY MOTHER FUCKERS THAT HE THREW ON OLD MAN CHUCK. GOOD NIGHT RAMPAGE, YOUR NOT ALL THAT BUDDY.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:34
Lmao, The fuck I need to know you for? Rashads pro.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:44
CAPS LOCK HOMO.....watch rampages head movement against wanderlei and say he has no talent...and if your thinking rashad has the advantage because hes a wrestler...rampage is too.Rampage is a totally new fighter now that he's with the wolfs lair and is looking better then ever. It doesn't matter either way, Machida is goin to beat Rashad.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 05:45
Dana White CAN'T force anyone to retire! He can stop them from fighting in the UFC, but there are a lot of other promotions. People need to stop thinking he can force fighters to retire. HE CAN'T.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 06:10
Who said he was gonna' force them to retire? Dana is gonna take them out back Old Yeller style!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 06:36
@D BOY SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING LOSER. WATCH THAT FUCKING FIGHT AGAIN YOU FUCKING MORON YOU WILL SEE THAT RAMPAGE GOT LUCKY AND WHEN HE FOUGHT JARDINE HE LOOKED LIKE SHIT. RASHAD IS SO MUCH BETTER. HE IS FASTER AND STRONGER AND HE HAS SEXY NIPPLES. I LOVE THIS NGGA SO MUCH I WOULD LET HIM STUFF MY TIGHT LITTLE ASSHOLE ANYTIME BECAUSE I LOVE HIS BLACK MEAT. IF HE SERVED COCK MEAT SANDWICHES I WOULD BUY THEM ALL THE TIME. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID FAGOT.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 06:47
White is full of crap. Hopefully the bald guy will piss enough fighters off to leave the UFC and make the other organizations more viable.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 06:57
Wow! So much to say here. The first issue that I need to address and echo here is this new thing where dana white thinks he rules the fucking world! F*&K dana white! Seriously who the hell does he think he is? Retiring people? What a joke. I dislike the ufc more and more every day and we are all hoping so much that these other orginizations can build themselves up to the point that they have steady events too. I'm sick of wasting my money on bunk ufc cards because that's the only 1 going. danan white is a scrub! Look at old pictures of him. He's a pale white, skinny office dork and now he's put on a few lbs and thinks he's a fighter. He acts like a tough guy. I'm from Boston and word on the st isn't dana white is a badass. He's like the kid with the nintendo back in the day. You don't like him but he's got all the games. Fu*& him and the ufc! I need a break after this one because that is really pissing me off. This new dana is almighty crap! OK DANA GIVE ME MY FUC*&^%G MONEY BACK FOR YOUR PIECE OF SHIT UFC 97!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:01
-eelcozy Says - Dude I hear that bigtime! It's like all of the sudden he talks like he can fight and he is such "good frinds" with these fighters that he can tell them what to do. Ok Dana how bout you retire then? You give up money that you could earn just by showing up, not have the new ferrari, house, bitches, toys for your kids and whatever else you choose. I hate dana white and he is now killing the ufc
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:01
@D BOY. LOOK DUMB FUCK, THE POSTING AT 18:36 WAS NOT MY WORK PAL. HOWEVER I DO HAVE ALITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU THOUGH. FUCK YOU, AND RAMPAGE. RAMPAGE IS COMPLETLY OUTCLASSED BY RASHAD EVAN. SO MUCH SO THAT I'M GOING TO BE PLACING A NICE BET ON RASHAD IN TERMS OF KNOCK OUT IN THE 2 ROUND. RASHAD IS SO MUCH FASTER, AND I DO BELIEVE HE HITS MUCH MUCH HARDER THE RAMPAGE DOES. WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ANY OF RAMPAGES PAST FIGHTS. NONE OF THEM COMPARE TO SEVERAL OF RASHADS PAST FIGHTS. RASHAD IS NOT ONLY A VERY GOOD WRESTLER BUT HE ALSO HAS SOME OF THE MEANEST HANDS IN THE BUISNESS. OTHER THEN THAT RAMPAGE IS NOT LOOKING BETTER THEN EVER IN ANYWAY. HE STILL LOOKS THE SAME AS HE ALWAYS HAS. YOU KNOW THAT IS TRUE DON'T YOU. YOUR JUST A HUGE RAMPAGE FAN AND YOU HATE TO FACE REALITY ON THIS ONE. YOU'LL SEE WHEN RASHAD BEATS HIS ASS BY THE END OF THE SECOND ROUND WHILE MAKING IT LOOK EASY. YOU NEED TO GO HAVE A TALK WITH CHUCK LIDDELL, AND AFEW OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THERE WITH RASHAD. DON'T GET YOUR HOPES ALL UP ON THIS ONE OK. EVEN IF RASHAD DOES NOT WIN HIS NEXT FIGHT THAT DOES NOT MEAN RAMPAGE COULD BEAT HIM. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN, AND ITS VERY POSSIBLE RAMPAGE WILL BEAT HIM BUT IF THEY ARE BOTH IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIVES I JUST DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING. GET WITH THE PROGRAM DUMB FUCK. THINK ABOUT IT.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:13
Rashad is going to get beat by Machida first off. Second I am sure Dana has a stipulation in all of those fighters contracts preventing them from going to another organization and thus forcing them to retire. Second Wanderlei is on the edge and Nog looked terrible against Mir so if he loses against Randy I will not surprised if he goes. If Wanderlei gets knocked out like he did against Rampage he will be forced to retire for sure.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:36
Now for the Rashad-Quinton issue- Ramapage is definitely 1 of my favorite fighters but just like any other fighter I am not afraid to speak the truth and my gut is telling me that Rashad has the tools to take him out. I've been watching Rashad since day 1 with the rest and he was my guy but man is he a fucking maggot. He's not as good as hal makes him out to be but he is a hell of a lot better than everyone thinks. Not because of that 1 punch on Liddead either. He's got heart for days, speed and power. Put all that with his wrestling and you can match him against anyone. Not saying he'll win but he'll be in it. Even if it means dancing and bouncing around the ring like a moron. He's no Ali but you can't tell him that. His resume' is crap !!!! The one thing I know for sure is that Rampage needs to do something about that turtle on his back response if he wants to remain in the top fleet because people are going to eat him up if they get by his hands. Rampage is also lightyears better than hal is mentioning. Hal has some good points in the midst of the rant but Rashad is no legend and never will be. He's exceptional but not great. RAMPAGE IS A GREAT FIGHTER. Excitement, power, ferocitiy, stalking, power slams, knockouts etc...... we always get our monies worth with him! Rashad is a paper champ! FACT WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID; RASHAD EVANS IS A PUNK!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:56
I completely agree with Vinsullo....Hal you need to realize that I never even said Rampage was definitely going to win, I was just saying he's a lot fucking better then your making him out to be. You need to get the jiz outta your eyes and realize that. And to say that Rampage hasn't fought the quality opponents that Rashad has is complete garbage. He fought in Pride for a majority of his career and you can't even include Rashads KO of Chuck cause oh yea....Rampage did it first bitch.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 07:59
Twice....
Wed, 04/22/09 - 08:24
I also have to agree with that nasty little clip of the last 5 seconds of the Jardine KO. Perfect head movement, blocked a punch and BAM! Hal how can you hate on that? Rampage is nasty with the hands man. I will agree that he'll sit there and robot it out weathering legkicks and lay on the ground but his boxing is on point. Rashad just dances around man. I compare Rashad's style to Christina Aguilera's singing. All kinds of movement and hand gestures and animated faces but in reality there aint shit going on. Bottom line. Rashad does the shuffle as if he's quick. Rashad's hands aren't nasty. All of the sudden people are up his ass. He's mid level gate keeper. He beat Forrest to get the belt. Forrest. Nuff said. Forrest can't handle any power at all. He was nothing against Rashad. And don't even bring up the fact that Forrest beat Rampage. 1st Rampage is a looney and 2nd HE DIDN'T WIN THAT BELT! That was bullshit.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 08:33
I LOVES ME SOME MEAT! I GOT THE BUNS TO PUT THE HOT DOGS IN!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 08:44

So are we over looking machida?
Wed, 04/22/09 - 09:24
once stephon beats mark coleman put chuck in there against him
Wed, 04/22/09 - 09:45
Big Nog did not have a full training camp because of a staph infection when he fought Mir. Wandy does need a win. But retirement because White says so is absurd. Randy got knocked out 2 times by Chuck but was not forced to retire it was on his own. Multiple losses require retirement? What about Andrei when he was with UFC. Two losses to Timmy no talk of retirement from White then. Because Andrei sold seats. There are many more examples. Everyone ask your self when and if you get to retire do you want to do it when your ready or be forced unwillingly by someone like White. There would only be one exception a medical retirement. If anything release them from their contract. Nomatter what any one thinks about Shamrock he is right by keeping fighting if that is what makes him happy. We live in a society where everyones opinion is supposed to be taken seriously but not your own. I guess just do things your own way but be willing to deal with the consequences.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 10:22
This retirement things is brutal. Whu the F does dana white think he is? He's still that same old skinny, pale faced little bitch from the old ufc'. Watch when he brings the belt out on the old videos he looks like he really is not with a ll the attitude and fat like he is now. We need to get rid of dana. Dana is killing the ufc and mma now. There are so many other promotions that want to put fights on that matter and gewt right down to business unlike the ufc's long, drawn out, "greatest fight ever", in mma history blah blah blah hype machine!
Wed, 04/22/09 - 10:41
If Fedor was interested in fighting top competitionon a regular basis he would stop putting on freakshows in Japan. Rampage is baiting Rashad into a fight because of his arrogance.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 11:11
FUCK, THIS IS MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT, WHO EVER POSTED AT 19:01 UNDER MY NAME WAS NOT ME. I WOULD NOT WRITE THAT SHIT BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING GAY AND STUPID. WHOEVER WROTE THAT FUCKING SHIT NEEDS TO DIE YOU STUPID FAG MOTHERFUCKING ANIMAL FUCKING PILE OF ROTTEN BILE, FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKER. STOP PRETENDING TO ME YOU DUMB FUCK THAT PISSES ME OFF. I FUCKING LOVE RAMPAGE HE IS THE BEST FIGHTER ON THE PLANET AND HE WILL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF SUGAR COCKSUCKER RASHAD WHO CAN'T FIGHT FOR SHIT. I WATCHED ALL RAMPAGES FIGHTS AND HE IS THE BEST BECAUSE HIS SLAMS AND PUNCHES ARE AWESOME. I WOULD NEVER SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT HIM.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 11:39
"The fuck I need to know you for?" Haha. I'm starting to like Rashad more. I always took him for a kinda whitebread brother, but he's holding his own in the trash talk with one of the masters.
Wed, 04/22/09 - 11:58
That is a great, great interview with Dana. Well done, Inside Fighting.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 03:30
I wish Dana White's uncontrollable yet transparent love for money doesn't speak for him any more.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 04:10
RASHAD IS TO MUCH FOR RAMPAGE. LETS SEE HERE. FORREST BEAT RAMPAGE. RASHAD BEATS FORREST AFTER THAT. HMMMM, YOU FUCKS ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT MATH ARE YOU. NO YOU ARE NOT. I'M SURE IF YOU COULD HERE IT FROM CHUCK HE WOULD SAY THAT RASHADS HANDS ARE MUCH MORE LETHAL THEN RAMPGE'S HANDS, AND BY A FUCKING LONG SHOT. YOU FUCKS WILL SEE IF THAT TIME EVER COMES FOR THAT FIGHT. NIGHTY NIGHT RAMPAGE. RAMPAGE WILL BE SITTIN ON THE FRONT PORCH WITH OLD MAN LIDDELL WHEN ITS ALL OVER..........SO SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY, AND FACE THE FACTS.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 04:43
I HOPE TO FUCK THAT RASHAD KICKS THE BLACK OUT OF RAMPAGE. WHEN WE HEAR GOLDBERG SCREAM "IT'S ALLLLL OVER" I WILL BE WAITING IN RASHADS LOCKER ON ALL FOURS WAITING TO BE DOMINATED IN MY REAMED OUT ITALIAN POOPER BY THE CHAMP. I LOVE DICKS ESPECIALLY LARGE BLACK ONES!! CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE RASHADS MAN GRAVY ALL OVER MY ASS AND MOUTH!! ATM (ASS TO MOUTH) IS THE BEST!!

Thu, 04/23/09 - 06:07
Wand is one of my favorite fighters but i also believe that he may be up for retirement as much as it pains me to say that but he has been knocked clean out 3 out of his last 5 fights (much like chuck). Nog on the other hand i have to disagree but i can see where some may want him to retire i mean the man made a living from getting the shit beat out of him only to come back and get the submission. Big Nog's durability is legendary but how many more beating can he take before some serious damage is done. I still believe it should be the fighters choice no matter what. As for rashad and Rampage its hard to say. Rashad has knock out power but not like Rampage. Jackson is one of the strongest fighters in the LHW division. I have to give the edge to Rampage in boxing. Forrest was doing a pretty good job of oicking Rashad apart until he broke his hand. Rampage on the other hand fought forrest and was sending forrest flying when ever he hit him with a punch ( granted very few landed flush). I do believe that forrest did beat Rampage. I think it comes down to what kinda traning camp rampage has. If every thing goes well and jackson sticks to his diet and does not get lazy i believe he should takd out rashad. As for chuck, it is easy to knock out a dude who carries his hands down by his nipples.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 06:09
I SELL PROPANE AND PROPANE ACCESSORIES. BOBBY! PUT DOWN THAT GADDANG VIDYA GAME! THAT BOY AINT RIGHT.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 06:14
You can bet your ass Liddell being promoted as a headliner on every single UFC card he's fought on for the last 3 years earned him a "do-not-compete" clause in his ginormous contract. If he can't fight in the UFC, my guess is he'd have to wait at least a year before fighting anywhere else.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 06:40
WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO COPY MY RETARDATION? IM GOING TO BRUNO YOU GUYS NEXT TIME I SEE YOU. YOU CAN FIND ME IN A TIGHT PINK FISH NET SHIRT.

Why would it be insane for Aoki to grapple against Fedor? The weight difference? Ever watch ADCC? Ever see Marcelo Garcia take on guys twice his weight in the absolute weight class What does Eddie Bravo weight? 140pds max? Only people who think this to be insane are UFC nuthuggers who thinks MMA revolves around their precious. This makes PERFECT sense for Fedor to see how he matches up against a small guy. If he loses no big deal, its a demo but it will give him of what to expect if he is doing ADCC like was claimed. Grappling against a much smaller opponent has its advantages like strenght and mass but there are also disadvantages against a much smaller opponent. Just ask Ricco Rodriguez. I know the idea of a fighter not sticking to just MMA rules fights sounds strange to some newbs but what makes Fedor (and many others like Mousasi and so on) special is his willingness to do so. Instead of sitting on his ass and fighting once a year, he does his national sambo tournament as well as the world event. Hell, I'd want him to put on longer pants and give judo a try if he had time to practice. But if he can only do MMA, Sambo and ADCC this year, I will still be pretty impressed. Real fighters fight. They dont take layoffs to sit on the sidelines doing reality shows like Nog did (with the ensuing result.)
Thu, 04/23/09 - 10:02
i love how people think rashad has more power in his hands than rampage when up until pretty recently he was known as the guy who couldnt finish a fight. as for better movement sure the guy has it he is a d-1 level wrestler while rampage only did it in highschool. still tho he has made huuuuge advances in movement after he got his blue belt in bjj a while ago. cap locks hal is a retard that doesnt no shit about fighting. and if he did he wouldnt say rashad is going to win cause forest bear rampage. just recently rampage has gotten over the whole starvation to purge the evil bullshit and is working hard as hell. its gonna be a good fight but i dont see rashad walking over rampage. his takedown offense is great and people dont wanna get close enough to find that out because he will knock them the fuck out or slam them thru the ring, also rashads hands cant be more deadly than wandys knees and how many of those did rampage stand up to before he fell??? basically tho everyone needs to stop arguing cause they both are good fighters in their own sense. only thing that really needs to stop is people saying rashad can hit harded and again cap locks hal needs to shut the fuck up and learn a little about fighters before he spreads his bullshit.
Thu, 04/23/09 - 02:06
@ ANONYMOUS, YOU'LL SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU STUPID BASTARD MOTHER FUCKER. I'M SURE THAT THERE WAS A TIME WHEN RAMPAGE COULD'NT FINISH A FIGHT WAY BACK IN THE DAY BUT NOW LOOK AT HIM. SAME FOR RASHAD. IT IS RASHADS TIME TO SHINE. RATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT OR EVEN WANT TO ADMIT IT BUT RASHAD CAN IS VERY CAPABLE OF FINISHING RAMPAGE IN A VERY DOMINANT FASHION. CHANCES ARE THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SHUT ME THE FUCK UP, AND TEACH ME ANYTHING ABOUT FIGHTING YOURSELF SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER AGAIN YOU SICK FUCKING INBREED SON OF AN UGLY FAT BITCH. GO FUCK YOURSELF. JUST WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO OR SAY AFTER RASHAD DOES BEAT THE DOG SHIT WOLFSLAIR OUT OF THE DUMB COCKY LOONEY MOTHER FUCKER RAMPAGE. THE ONLY PEOPLE TO FEAR THAT MOTHER FUCKER ARE PREGANANT CHICS, AND OLD FOLKS ALONG THE FREEWAYS. JUST SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.
Fri, 04/24/09 - 03:30
Are you serious? Your a fucking dip shit if you believe that Rashad is gonna beat rampage or even hold the title.. Rashad's a fucking cum rag & has more of an over inflated annoying ego than any fighter since tito.. Rashad's a douche bag & unworthy of the title!!!
Sat, 04/25/09 - 09:20
Here's the bottom line, every fighter is different, some can last longer tha others, while some after getting TKO'd or KO'd, they just can't take the punches like they use to. You can't compare chuck to randy, both different styles of fighting, even though chuck prevailed over randy before. Chuck was too sluggish in the shogun fight, timing seemed off. He definitely looked better against Tito and Silva, but for shogun he seemed to have slower movement. The whole time I watched the fight, Rogan was saying how it looked like shogun was trying to set up a punch with the left hand, which ended up happening. Just because nog, randy, or coleman can still fight, chuck also has gotten beaten pretty badly in his last few fights, much worse than those other guys i mentioend...when your too sluggish, not keeping your hands up to guard your face, then its easy to hit that sweet spot to TKO/KO your opponent. Had chuck fought like the way he did with say Tito then maybe his shogun fight would've ended differently. Dana can force chuck to retire from the UFC but not MMA. If chuck wants to still fight, Dana will probably not make any exceptions of him fighting again in the UFC. If chuck decides to leave the UFC just so he can fight, he takes the chance of making less $$$ from those other organizations, and getting fucked up again by someone else....plus those other MMA organizations aren't as poplular as the UFC, so chuck won't be the golden boy like he is now in the UFC. Chucks made tons of $$$ in the UFC, probably more than anyone...so $$$ will never be a problem for him, plus dana already intends to keep chuck involved in the ufc doing other stuff while retired. As for rashad and rampage, it should be a good fight. Rashad has speed, and power, and who's to say Rampage can hit harder than rashad, they may very well be equal. Can rashad beat ramapge, I believe he can, especially if he has a strategy like Keith did, since rampage doesn't like leg kicks, i could see rashad using leg kicks and taking him down to the mat. I also think if Rampage connects really good that rashad will be KO'd, or possibly stunned with rampage going for some GnP to finish him off. Rashad has speed, but rampage has good timing and moves around as well, I think it'll be a great fight but I hope rampage does win. The bottom line is your only as good as your last match, so we'll have to wait and see IF rashad/rampage end up fighting eachother, it could very well be machida/rampage, who knows until the event happens and the bell rings.
