(Clip courtesy YouTube/Cagewriter/UFC – Let’s hope the fight lasts this long)
If the fight between Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is half as intense as their pre-fight bickering has been, we’re in for a hell of a fight Saturday night. Let’s just hope both guys save some of their energy for the Octagon.
During today’s conference call ahead of the May 29 event in Las Vegas, the pair who really do seem to hate each other, got into it again and after arguing for more than five minutes had to be cut off by UFC president Dana White. The funny thing was, as incoherent as their argument got at times, it still made more sense than Franklin McNeil (who was the reporter who asked the original question in the clip) makes 99 percent of the time.

HAHAHAHAHAHA "You got Gumby legs, homie! All jigglin' looked like you were gettin' jiggy wit it." Damn that was an ab work out no doubt. Rashad is acting like a little kid thinking he can do any damage to rampage cause supposedly Rampage got rocked by Jardine...dudes crazy, I like him as a fighter but he's getting laid out. WARAMPAGE!

Evans doesn't HATE Rampage. I believe what he was quoted as saying was something like: No, I don't hate him. He's got more qualities that I dislike than qualities I like. I guess I just dislike him. Evans was incredibly reasonable about the whole thing. Still, I hope, for the sake of all LA pedestrians, that Rampage wins. I would LOVE to see Evans K him TFO, though. 'Page is batshit crazy and, in my estimation, he's taken a dark turn. It's no longer 'fun crazy' like Diego Sanchez or even A. Silva. It's 'crazy crazy' like Harold Howard - somebody that, at times, is so out of touch with reality, he's capable of doing really horrible things. That's not my idea of a good martial artist. I used to like you, 'Page. RIP

You think they'll hug it out afterwards?
Tue, 05/18/10 - 05:37
@booyah I have a strong suspicion Evans will be hugging it out the entire match.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 05:37
@booyah I hope not. What I hope for is a WTFKO like Hendo-Bisping. Then the winner should talk shit about knocking the other guy out aswell. Epic.

@Almost North +1... Damn wrestling.

Maybe its just me, but I don't see Greg Jackson sitting around in the fighter room going, "Yeah Rashad we want you to go out and trade punches with rampage." Rashad might be a prick, but hes not stupid and hes going to do what he needs to to win this one. I think he learned his lesson from the how taste my own pee-pee stanky-leg incident. Call me crazy.

Rashad by Unanimous Decision. Ground control, minimal damage. I actually don't care who wins, I just want to see a spectacular knockout. Rampage has 6 fights left, and doesn't want to even fight anymore. I can see him pulling a Paul Daley.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 05:59
Hmmm. I see Rashad standing/dancing long enough to see if he can land effective leg kicks and testing his speed agains Rampage's heavy hands and combos. Failing that, as soon as 'Page finds his rhythm, it's going down to the mat, if he can manage it. Holding Rampage down is no easy task, though. It's a pretty cool fight on paper.

Rashad sounded like a little kid on that audio clip. Both he and Rampage have the MOST ANNOYING HABIT IN THE WORLD of repeating the same catchphrase over and over. Nawm sayin'?
Tue, 05/18/10 - 06:30
Come Saturday, one of these men will be eating his words. I worry though that this fight might end up like Jackson/Silva III.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 06:31
I tried to listen to that clip, but the sound of Rampage's voice made me have a miscarriage.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 06:40
@ Wifey +1 controversial!
Tue, 05/18/10 - 06:47
wifey>> +1 funny. nicely done, ma'am.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 06:58
Rampage should fight with his B.A. Mohawk
Tue, 05/18/10 - 07:13
do i get a t shirt for finding that mistake? how about an ipad?
Tue, 05/18/10 - 07:25
I hope page goes full cali highway monster truck baby killer mode on rashads cocky ass
Tue, 05/18/10 - 07:27
Where's my belt, better yet WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY PANTS? Now that, ladies and germs, is how you sell a fight. Please excuse me while I go punch myself in the nuts, vomit six or seven times, and then desperately attempt to restore some form of logical rationale to my throbbing brainsack.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 07:33
I hope the ref has a taser and they get a couple extra of those red shirted goons. If Rashad wins a boring lay and pray decision I can almost guarantee another Rampage. Throw that dude in a cage and shoot him up with some tranquilizers for everybody's safety, let him out somewhere in the wilds of Africa after a few weeks pass.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 08:03
im getting less amped for this fight as a result of this shit. Its the same thing over and over again. I like neither fighter hopefully someone gets WRECKED. If this is a boring fight it might be the the most anti-climactic thing ever.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 09:09
these guys are so much fun, I get they are just trolling all of us they are hanging out right now drinking a beer reading all our words and laughing at how they have us jacked up for this fight. what a bunch of kidders. Oh and wifey if you have a miscarriage, don't worry Rampage will hump you preggers again. He's a nice guy right?
Tue, 05/18/10 - 09:39
I hear he's generous like that.
Tue, 05/18/10 - 10:17
What we have here, little yellow sister, is a magnificent specimen of pure Alabama black snake. But it ain't too goddamn beau coup!
Wed, 05/19/10 - 12:02
rampage by KO ala wanderlei was knocked out.
Wed, 05/19/10 - 03:20
I really hope Rashad wins this. I'm so tired of rampage and his bs. He is so full of himself, and really? Where is he funny? NOWHERE!. But i see Page knocking Rashad out cold. As sad as it may be. :(
Wed, 05/19/10 - 05:09
dranokills, wifey>> it's anice thought, but there's now way that rampage will hump wifey. she's not asian.
Wed, 05/19/10 - 05:20
+1 to Misanthropy for the Full Metal Jacket quote. And +1 to me for catching it before the rest of you nerds :)
Wed, 05/19/10 - 05:25
Rex13 - put a microphone in her hands and have her pretend it's an interview and Rampage will be all over her like a rash, dude.
Wed, 05/19/10 - 06:19
Where yo belt? Where yo belt? You so fat you don't need no belt homey. Yo fat belly hold yo pants up. Axe me where my belt? Damn...
Wed, 05/19/10 - 06:43
If rashad tries to stand with rampage, he will get dropped. Rampage has more power and a better chin. We might just see rashad's gumby legs again.
Wed, 05/19/10 - 06:52
ReX13 Says: Wed, 05/19/2010 - 15:09 dranokills, wifey>> it's anice thought, but there's now way that rampage will hump wifey. she's not asian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- now hold your writing pen sir we don't KNOW that for sure.... wifey, iz yuns asian er not?
