whoever thinks Page won that fight with Forrest is worse than Mr. Peoples or Tony Fuckin Weeks!

I don’t care to read any of this shit, BUT the reality of this is Rampage , is that everyone felt Forrest beat your ass, and deserved that belt, and in this case with machida NOBODY in their right mind believes Machida won, that is why shogun gets a rematch and you didnt.
Also notice shogun has not (yet) ran out acted fucking crazy and high and ran over preggo’s and ran from the cops.

Keep acting rampage until you can tell fantasy from reality.

>Rampage is so irrelevant now, it is laugable.

Can you have a thought that’s your own or do you just fart out the first thing you hear?

Rampage will be relevant to you the day he signs back up with the UFC just like you thought that Tito was a washed up piece of shit UNTIL he resigned and how Kimbo was an embarassment until he brought the company 6 millions viewers.

You just need to be told what to think and you do allright.

From the article:
>Plus, there’s no other clear-cut light-heavyweight contender

I so disagree, the UFC has a built in legend they could put in a main event or even title fight: Marc Coleman.

Which brings me back to the first mouthbreather;
Coleman and Tito were shit upon when they were out of the UFC by the same idiots who were trying to convince themselves just a few weeks ago that Tito-Coleman was a real main eventer.

When Rampage comes back, you will laud him.

Its who you are.

@melvin da G: Rampage has been overly promoted primarily because the UFC hasn’t been too shy about sensationalism and melodrama. Look at some of the petty bullshit going on in the house over the past few seasons of “TUF,” and tell me that they’re not trying to make monumental beefs out of what amounts to wet farts. It may be good for ratings, but it’s watering down the chances of MMA being taken seriously as opposed to the angry redheaded stepchild of the WWE.

It would suit a 3rd rate thug like Rampage to be in a cheesy remake of a cheesy 80s TV show, but if he thinks James Lipton is going to invite him for an episode of “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” he’s more stupid than he looks, and that’s saying something.

“move back to Memphis and be a champ on some little local promotion”?

So are you saying all of Rampage’s accomplishments up to this point have been irrelevant? He did recently KO Wanderlei Silva, and decision Keith Jardine, he’s still definitely a top contender for the title especially pending a fight with Rashad Evans.
To say he should fight on local promotions is like saying that Randy Couture should fight in a local pankrase tournament, or saying that Forrest Griffin has no business in fighting anymore.

And there was a post a couple comments back saying he was overly promoted for getting two shots at being a coach on TUF. But wouldn’t you ask him to appear on your show if fans tuned in to watch him? It’s all about good business practice.

Rampage is so irrelevant now, it is laugable.

The reason he didn’t get an instant rematch is because he had to fight to not go to prison.

Rampage would get destroyed by BOTH Shogun and Machida. he needs to just move back to Memphis and be a champ on some little local promotion, where he has a chance to beat someone, not in the UFC where there isn’t a fight he can win (well, maybe he could beat Razzak).

Man screw this clown,he makes it seem like he can capitalize on machidas weaknesses just by wathching this fight, thats bullsh*t man. Shoguns is an exception cause of his deadly kicks, everytime he landed a face shot( which wasnt that many) it was set up by a kick or vice versa. Rampage cant even come close to challenging machida the way shogun did , if anything if they were to fight one day he would come outr of that fight looking worse than rashad did, at least rashad is a semi threat wtih his kicks, rampage would go out there looking for that one big shot and he ll never get it. Im tired of rampage dogging machida saying he is boring and shit everytime he gets the chance. How bout you stop bicthing and moaning, quit acting (ive seen the clips, he really blows) and come back to fighting. One last note, rampage will never get that belt back, if shogun some how pulls off the rematch he destroys rampage(assuming he gets a title shot) If machida fights rampage its rashad all over again.

Seeing as though Rampage has retired from fighting to be a big time Hollywood actor, isn’t he more qualified to talk about this weekend’s box office results? You changed careers buddy, why do you need to talk about UFC to get attention?

Since when have there been rumors or people been talking about corruption within the UFC anyway? He must be hanging around some douchebags.

What a FUCKING IDIOT. The UFC in no way, shape, or form, has any say in what judges are scoring bouts, or what refs are working the fights. What a moron. He should be pissed at the Athletic Commisions for being complete retards instead of being pissed at the UFC since he couldnt have his little rematch. Same goes with all the fucking retard fans and observers that think the UFC is rigged- the judges and refs are not in any way appointed by the UFC and if the UFC did have say, then things would be alot different. Tools..

Excellent points Badguy. I am no longer a fan of Rampage, done with his bullshit.

And he didnt get a rematch because he decided to have a one man destruction derby through southern california. Notice how he NEVER brings that up, ever. The UFC wanted to hide him for a good 5-6 months and have it blow over, they protected his ass and this is how he repays them? What a dick.

Seoul Brother, hilarious!

@ Badguy: Point four is particularly well taken. The UFC really did take care of him after his, well his rampage.

I’m going to propose some heavy accounting along the lines of what Rampage is talking about. When we get a questionable decision, you need to get a good sense of the judges rationale, and then go through the fight frame by frame counting shots, assessing takedowns and the quality of submission attempts.

The judges need to be called into account once in a while or we could end up with the same corrupt situation that boxing is in.

i want to see cecil peoples survive 1 leg kick…

The problem is the athletic commissions, they set up a government granted monopoly on picking judges and refs in order to generate revenue. It’s a disgusting habit of government in general.

I’m sure that Rampage, unlike Rashad, would have been utlilizing the Shogun strategy of vicious body and leg kicks. Oh wait, he probably would have circled around for 5 rounds looking to throw a big left hook knockout blow that Machida, everyone in the Staples centre and yes, even Cecil Peoples, would have seen coming a mile away.

Guys, stop complaining about long posts.
You’ve got enough time to read and critique comments, but nobody’s forcing you to do any of it.

@ 10Pound:

I highly doubt Rampage’s spelling and grammar is that good. I seriously suspect Rampage dictates his blog posts to Tiki, who then edits/types them. In between blowjobs, that is.

^Agentofthebat “Ah well. Hopefully he’ll sleep easy when he gets that A-Team paycheck. Not everyday you get paid to act like yourself”

Wasn’t he a coach on TUF? ;P

You guys are goofs.

Rampage won the fight against Forrest…. He definately didn’t lose it, and judging by the “you got to beat the champ, to take the belt” Philosophy the belt should have never changed hands. UFC wanted Forrest to win to complete his heroic story of coming from the first TUF show to becoming a champion.

Its getting easier and easier to predict close fights, especially title fights. If the fight is close enough that they can swing it a certain way the winner will always be the person who they want to promote at the time.

In, Shogun/Lyoto, Dana probably nodded at the judges and they knew what was expected of them.. Then he goes and bashes the decision and declares a rematch saving the division from stagnation.

Come on.. if you’ve been watching lately you can’t tell me you haven’t been able to predict almost all of main fights that go to decision. Regardless of who you think should have actually won. (As most people point out that they knew and felt Shogun would be screwed. Which should not be even thought under a fair judging system).

How long did it take Quinton to type that all out on a keyboard? I’m guessing at least 5 hours. To his credit, he can type “t i t t i e s” pretty fast, its his silver bullet skill.

Regardless of his typing skills, is it just me or does his whiny commentary remind you of a certain Hawaiian welterweight with on-demand allergies to vaseline grease?

that stupid asshole has made a point.

Dexter Says:
forrest did not beat rampage.
and if you go by the way shogun/machida was judged then rampage should have won on all cards.
rampage did more damage, dropped forrest like 5 times.
==========

That’s some memory you’ve got. Rampage only dropped Forrest ONCE… that was in the first round, then he spent almost the entire second round on his back.

@ mjmcnns

ain’t nobody gonna read all that shit

You’d think after so many years in the sport Rampage would have at least a slight understanding of how it operates. He still thinks the UFC judges fights? Come on. After seeing his two abysmal attempts at coaching it really makes you realize how self-absorbed Rampage is when it comes to MMA.

Furthermore, am I the only one who sees the irony in his bitching about the auto rematch?

If Rampage didn’t throw a temper tantrum, take his ball and go home in the first place, we almost certainly would be seeing Lyoto vs the winner of Rashard/Jackson instead of the re-match. The only reason this rematch is going to be so hastily booked is because there are no other options BECAUSE RAMPAGE SCREWED THE UFC.

Didn’t Dana ask Rampage who he wanted next, Rashad or the champ? He picked Rashad and then he picked a movie instead of that fight….done listening and done caring.

Forrest beat Rampage. That was a good decision. Machida over Shogun was bogus.

Jesus H Crist Holy Monkeyballs man… some of you guys write more stuff in these comment sections than the Bens do in their articles.

Keep it a comment, not a god damn essay. This website has a forum if you want to use this website as a diary and share your life stories and feelings.

forrest did not beat rampage.

but that is all in the past and they just need to get mma judges with there own critiria.
want this sport to grow more than anything and ufc 104 set us back.

There’s a difference between some people thought you won and everyone thought you won. In his fight against forrest, it was a 50/50 split, in the Machida/Shogun fight the only people in the entire world that though Machida won were 3 retarded judges. That’s why Shogun is getting a rematch and that’s why Rampage didn’t. He makes some good points, but let’s face it, Rampage didn’t deserve a rematch.

Not trying to be a smart ass, but rather asking a question I’m way too lazy to research. When was the last time a championship changed hands on a decision? UFC or any other promotion.
====================

How about Rampage vs Forrest Griffin last year, or Couture vs Sylvia the year before?

Few points

1. TUF editing wasnt really neccasary! Rampage screwed himself and made himself look like a jackass. From showing up very late in prefight prep for one of his fighters. To not supporting his fighters after they lost, it was all about him, and his words did all the editing they needed to do.

Didnt Rampage oversleep for one of his fighters the last time he was coach on TUF? I could be wrong.

2. Rampage was furious before the show even aired and was talking shit becaus ehe new he didnt not show a very good light on himself in the show.

3. Name me one fighter at 205 the UFC has promoted more then Rampage since his arrival in the UFC? Two tuf appearances! Rampage was always promoted and heavily.

4. The UFC stuck by him during his darkest hours and still promoted the hell out of him after loses and his energy drinking problem, LOL! But he claims they have done nothing for him.

5. Rematches are not the norm and anyone with a half of brain nows this fans, fighters ect. Problem with this scenario is Rampage is far short of a half of brain!
Rematches are granted under circumstance or fans demanding it!

6 Rampage is an idiot bitch.

well said rampage

Not trying to be a smart ass, but rather asking a question I’m way too lazy to research. When was the last time a championship changed hands on a decision? UFC or any other promotion.

He looks like Aries Spears doing Shaquille Oneal doing Mr. T…. but the judges and referees as of late have been pretty fucking sloppy.

Page won that fight with forrest. if they would have rematched he would have destroyed him.

Looks like Rampage is getting rather doughy.

Rampage didnt get the immediate rematch cause there wasnt any controversy, the judges got that one right. Forrest won that fight, and nobody said otherwise.

“Not to be whiny here but I still don’t feel like I’ve been beat in the UFC.. but I’m not champ anymore.”

Rampage is STILL DELUSIONAL!!! Forrest whupped dat azz just like Shogun did Machida!

Here’s a wild thought…maybe he had a chance at a rematch until 2 days after the match he went on a rampage (har har) through the streets of LA, running over a pregnant woman, and ending up getting taken down on camera like an episode of Greatest Police Chases. He only gave the UFC it’s biggest publicity black eye since…well…I can’t come up with a worse one.

I kinda like Rampage, but for him to whine about not getting an immediate rematch…he was fairly fortunate not to have had his contract terminated.

As they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day… and ‘Page is right on both accounts.

Cecil Peoples is a karate “sensei” and gives that match to a fellow karate practitioner. Hmmm? He says “leg kicks don’t win fights.” Hmmmm? What would have happened if Cecil’s background was in Mua Thai? Or, God forbid, MMA?

Something to think about.

I’m with Defender, if I was super-drunk, I would have been snoozing during the main event of 104. As it was, I was able to ramble incoherently to my friend about how Shogun would probably get screwed on the decision, between trying to decide which BWW’s waitress was the least ugly and thus worthy of a hail mary perverted pickup line.

Of course Rampage has some good points…he took 3 days to write this.

I just watched 104 last night, (I’m sure there is a longer thread about this) and while I don’t think there is any corruption, anytime you have to justify why you did what you did…it’s usually because you are in the wrong.

I really want to like Machida…but after watching him only throw 2 flurries after waiting…and waiting…and waiting…and ZZzzzzz..

Sorry.

It got to the point where I was waiting for the decision so I wouldn’t have to see his name in the prize fight away. Instead, hilarity ensued and the uni-brow lives another day.

I immediately want to scoff and call Rampage crazy…but lets face it. He makes a couple good points here. If they are giving out rematches this easy now, it should have happened for him too.
Ah well. Hopefully he’ll sleep easy when he gets that A-Team paycheck. Not everyday you get paid to act like yourself and shave your head into a mohawk.

Very valid point on the rematch thing. Why did he not get one with Forrest?

Isn’t this like the pot calling the kettle black?

Oh wait…Rampage, right. Ha!
