Rampage is a idiot and a twit but he is funny,ha ha haha heeeeeeeee!

lmao, Rampage is a character.

Does that game not come out till 2009 then or what,can anyone tell me?
is it on xbox360 coz thats what I have at home.

Wow Rampage just reenacted UFC 71’s weigh in. He’s almost shakespearean in his prose.

I saw that girls face when she looked down. she was hoping that rampage was gonna take of his pants. And that producer guy was scared as hell. his vioce was crackig and all that. i thought he was gonna piss himself

He’s got some real work to do for september apparently.

I have heard 2009 as well, and yes it will be on the xbox 360.

my money is on henderson after seeing that. rampage has a personality, henderson doesn’t, thus henderson = better fighter.

Thank god Jackson’s reign of champ will not be long…Henderson or Rua will expose him for the one-shot wonder that he is.

if jackson is a one-shot wonder what does that make liddell?

My guess is that the game comes out a year from now in 2008. Kind of like how the new sports titles coming out right now say Madden 08, NHL 08, etc.

Henderson actually does have a personality, he just doesen’t get behind the camera much. He can be a pretty funny guy

[quote comment=”118184″]if jackson is a one-shot wonder what does that make liddell?[/quote]

Don’t need to justify Liddell’s accomplishments. We’ll see if Rampage can hold on to the belt as long as Chuck did - I can gaurantee you he won’t.

Like I said if Henderson doesn’t get the job done (which he should) - Rua is going to embarass him, just like he did the last time.

haha, don’t be afraid to call me for anything, I just need a million dollars

Where is the link to the video…All I see is the game trailer.

I wonder who will be in it….. think its too late for Rua, Henderson, or Wandi to be put in the game? Cause that would be an allstar cast to have in a video game. Bananas!

That’s Chuck’s Beer Belly alright! I love Rampage!

Man some people are just Brian dead. No one gives Rampage a chance. Well this is MMA, and if you think something is “sure fire” well I pity you. Rampage is good, and has great skills. Never count any one out, and never count someone with skills out. Another reason I attempt to no longer post, too many “I guarantee u” people posting. Sherdog all over. Mania I love the news, but thats about it anymore.

he should bleach his hair and do an impression of tito’s giant head

he’s got a pretty big cabesa himself.

Rampage is good, I think thats obvious since he beat Liddell twice now. Are there better fighters out there? I along with others (apparently TapUout as well) - believe other MMA fighters will make Jackson’s reign a short one. TapUout’s gaurantee may not go very far, but its his own personal guarantee (or in other words, OPINION). His oppinion is not wrong, neither is yours - thats the beauty of forums like this…only time will tell who is right.

what a champion well said..

One-shot wonder meant short reign as champ…stay tuned to watch my prediction come true.

A lot of people thought the Rampage/Liddell fight would (at least) last much longer than it did, and (at most) spell redemption for Liddell.

Not to mention that ex-PRIDE “shoe-ins” have not demolished the UFC alums the way many people expected. Big Nog, Herring, Cro Cop… all under-performing relative to predictions. They’re great fighters! They just haven’t gotten their octagon “bearings” yet. Yes, Henderson has fought in the octagon. But that was almost 10 years ago. Things have changed a lot since then. And so has the caliber of his next and future opponents.

To presume that Henderson will clean Rampage’s clock is as naive as many of us believing that The Iceman would make short work of Rampage.

[quote post=”2926″]Thank god Jackson’s reign of champ will not be long…Henderson or Rua will expose him for the one-shot wonder that he is.[/quote]

How many times does Rampage need to beat the living crap out of Liddell before you Liddell fans admit that Rampage is the superior fighter?

I too, can’t believe how many people are saying that Dan Henderson is going to demolish Rampage. I am as big of a Dan Henderson fan as there is, but I do NOT see him running through Rampage. Dan Henderson’s strength’s are his wrestling and his left hand, and now his right as well. Rampage has the same strengths, and is naturally a bigger man. At the current moment, he probably outweights Dan Henderson by at least 30 lbs. I’d put Rampage at about 225 and Henderson at 195. (I didn’t take a peak at their scales yesterday, but its just a guess).

I no doubt will be rooting for Henderson, but a completely consider Rampage the solid favorite for this fight.

[quote comment=”118229″]what a champion[/quote]

Thats laughable…The great thing about MMA is the sportsmanship and respect shown between fighters (obviously something Rampage lacks). To call him a great champion is ridiculous. Couture is a great champion, Liddell was a great champion, Silva is a great champion, Fedor is a great Champion…Jackson is nothing but a classless, disrespecting clown…Hope he gets his on Sept 8th.

[quote comment=”118173″]my money is on henderson after seeing that. rampage has a personality, henderson doesn’t, thus henderson = better fighter.[/quote]

Never saw Hendo wear Hulk hands on his way to the ring then?

Rampage will destroy Henderson I garuntee it 100%,well not that much but I think he should,Rampage is only like 28 or 29,he is still young and he has now got real belife in himself,I think there is a good chance that we havnt seen half of what Rampage can do yet.
He has a great chin and KO power and I now have my tickets for UFC75 and il be sitting at the front of one of the lower tier sections,I cant wait Im realy looking forward to being there and I will be wanting to see some great fights with Rampage,Bisping and Crocop all winnning exciting fights with KOs.
It is no trouble for me getting there coz I live 30 minutes away from the o2,that 20,000 seat arena is state of the art,its got comfortable seating situated so everyone has a perfect line of site,nearly 600 toilets so no-one has to cue to take a slash and it is just gonna be surreal.
Is anyone from here going to it or been to a UFC before?

Love the angry Liddell fans. Rampge is just kidding around with the hot chick but people try to make it a big deal. I heard that Rampage goes to Chuck’s house and eats his food and hits on his girl and there is nothing Chuck can do since he knows he’s Rampage’s property at this point. :p

Henderson may beat him, Henderson is a world class fighter and can compete with anyone. Shogun though will most likely kill him again if they fight in the UFC…but you never know.

im just kidding, ive seen tons of hendo interviews and i love him, hes a funny guy. but its obvious rampage was having some extra curricular fun at E3 with about a month before a fight with hendo, and definately partied it up after whooping liddell. i just think hendo has settled down a little more and has been taking it more seriously.

but if you want me to pick the fight apart. i think hendo is going to have trouble with jackson in the first round or two, because when rampage has energy, he has top notch head movements feints and boxing. he tends to loose it in the later rounds, where as hendo will just stand in the pocket and swing. hes a great boxer, but i think rampages boxing is superior.

now dont get me wrong i think wanderlei has better striking than jackson, but i think his boxing isnt as good, when he fought hendo there was less head movements, and he just stood in the pocket with each other for a little while.

id say its almost a 50/50 match all things considered. but onto liddell, how can you call him a great champion? in his later fights, i don’t he won so much as the other people lost, afraid to shoot in, afraid to take him down. don’t get me wrong in the beginning of his streak he was a monster, and was ripping guys apart, but he just lost heart. did anybody see the episode of tapout with liddell’s roomate? the training sequences, liddell wasn’t even trying.

Yeah - thats believable…are those the same people telling you that unicorns and wizards exist?

Liddell is 37 yrs old, he parties every night, and many people suggest he came fresh out of drug rehab prior to their 2nd fight. As well he held the belt for the last few years and any champion will tell you that you are less motivated in training for fights with the belt (especially after numerous title defenses) than when you are trying to win it away from someone else.

I for one am not going to count the guy out.

Please buddy…Liddell was a great champion, no doubt about it. “afraid to shoot in” - watch the Liddell/Ortiz II fight, he was hardly afraid to do anything in that fight - he stalked Tito that entire fight like Tito was an injured, 3 legged kitten. As well, Liddell is more known for his counter-attack than anything..thats his game-plan, and for most of his career thats what he’s been effective at.

If your comparing (which we were) Liddell to Jackson as a champion - there is no comparison…his reign will be short and sweet.

“afraid to take him down” - again, I think you’re confused on Liddell’s fight-game..thats not his strategy, he was succesful as a countering other fighters.

On top of all this, he has one of the most respected and envied take-down defenses in the entire sport.

His reign as champ (as well as 2 defeats over CURRENT heavyweight champ, Couture) for 2 years easily proves he’s one of the best champions (of any weight category) in MMA history.

I don’t think this will come out in 2009, that wouldn’t make sense making a game that’s 2 years behind. I see it starting a reign like Tiger Woods or Madden, with the teams just 1 year behind that way, bandwagon fans can continually jump tracks and enjoy prancing around with their favorite fighters and intimidate their tv screens!

I’m not 100% sure and maybe somebody else knows… but with video games, usually the game is released the year prior to the title. I.E. Madden/NCAA 2008 coming out in 07. Hopefully, this game will be no different seeing as I really don’t want to wait until 09 to play it.

Well maybe once either Henderson, Rua, Wanderlei gives Jackson a whoopin of his own - you’ll see Jackson get demoted to IFL.

Then maybe he can have a rematch with Marvin Eastman, who??? yes - Marvin Eastman (LOLOL) and get owned again like he did the first time they fought.

The real LOL was the Pride fight and the UFC fight where Rampage kicked Chuck’s ass. What does that say about Chuck? Chuck Liddell was great…but its all downhill for him now. His gut will just get bigger, his style more one dimensional, and his wins fewer and fewer. Maybe Bodog would fit him better?

I dont understand all the hate for Rampage. Hes a good champ, very funny dude and hes a real badass now. Hes got a good chin, KO power in his hands, good technique, and great wreslting to go along with his brute power. i personally never liked Chuck because he just throws haymakers.

Kevin Randleman was a top notch fighter in his early days, HW champ in the UFC, and has some big Pride wins, as well as losses to some top fighters and others. He’s not going to hold any belts but I don’t think he’s a total loser.

He was a decent wrestler - which was how he was able to get away with that (but otherwise pretty one-dimensional). His 16-12 record speaks for itself…hardly the record of a good- fighter.

Did you just see that highlight or did you catch the ending where Fedor almost snaps his arm like a twig and you can hear Randleman screaming like a school-girl?

I have been waiting for somebody to say that for a longtime. I am not denying the fact that Chuck had a dominant reign as the champ but… his time has passed. Nowadays, MMA competetitors actually use MMA and have been training MMA for long periods of time. Chuck however… did not. He relied on his one punch K.O., which was effective, but I just think that the sport has evolved so much in recent years that Chuck will have a hard time competing. And to everybody saying Rampages reign will be short lived… just think about the talent he is going to have to face. Shogun and Henderson are probably the 2 best, and god knows who else Rampage will have to face.

Rua and Wanderlei usually do own whoever they fight… that’s why they are considered to be some of the best

All you guys hype of Jackson - but once he loses to Henderson/Rua/Wanderlei, then you’ll ride one of those 3 afterwards and say Jackson’s a bum…just as you are commenting on Liddell and his current status.

By today’s standards, Randleman is not a good fighter…yeah he was HW champ in a division that was littered with wannabe street-fighters…but hasn’t proven a damn thing since.

Liddell - his time may be up…fine. But don’t discredit what he’s accomplished or what he did for the sport here in N.America - cuz him and Tito pretty much carried UFC on their backs…without either of these pioneers - who knows if the sport would have taken off or not.

As others have mentioned and I will reiterate - Jackson is a good all-round fighter..but his skills are no where near that of Rua…sorry to disappoint you hard-core Jackson fans, but Rua beat Jackson like a red-headed step-child in their fight.

Rua will be champ by years end (if given the opportunity).

And I’m out.

Okay, why is it that you recognize him? Clearly not because he’s a professional MMA fighter or anything like that…

You guys crack me up, saying a guy who has fought regularly at the highest level of MMA is a “nobody” because he has poor MMA skills. You know his name and recognize his face because he was good enough to reach that level of competition and stay there for a long time.

No, Randleman will never hold a belt again, but ask Cro Cop if he’s a “nobody”. You act like he’s some TUF reject.

Now I know Rampage isn’t that fat because he’s sticking the abs out to give the bloated appearance but Jesus how can a professional fighter get that out of shape that quickly and back into shape so quickly too. I know british boxer Ricky Hatton id the same. 12 weeks out from a fight Hatton weighs 12 st and he fights at 10st! How?

Cannot wait for UFC 75. Was at 72 (wasn’t that bad) and will be at 75. 50-50 for Rampage and Henderson. What a tough one for your first title defense.

Rampage is fat hahaha.

ya know what though granted the first match up was one sided for rampage but rampage just happen to catch a lucky punch to were i think they stopped way to early so rampage gata shut his mouth because dan hendo is gana hand his ass to him

In your opinion, who is the better fighter, Lindland or Hendo?

Aside from the heavy right hand, what does Hendo bring to the table that Lindland doesnt?

Have you seen Hendo fight larger, stronger opponents & have you watched those fights in their entirety?

Now, how is Hendo going to win this fight?

Sound to me like you simply prefer Hendo as a fighter & simply want to see him win. I can respect that but personal preference does not trump fact.

His reign as champ (as well as 2 defeats over CURRENT heavyweight champ, Couture) for 2 years easily proves he’s one of the best champions (of any weight category) in MMA history.[/quote]

There’s a HUGE quality of competition arguement here.

[quote post=”2926″]One shot wonder? Watch some Pride Mr. Only Watch UFC[/quote]Actually I’ve watched more PRIDE than UFC in my day…and I remember Quinton getting owned by both Rua and Wanderlei…big-time owned.[/quote]

Owned by Rua? Yes! Owned by Wand? Highly disputable; Fight 1….maybe but let’s not forget Page scrapped with Chuck earlier that same night. Fight 2…….not at all. If you’ve seen the entire fight you know that Page was givin’ Wand “the business”. But I will say that in terms of HOW Wand finished Page then yes, ownage.

[quote comment=”118492″]Now I know Rampage isn’t that fat because he’s sticking the abs out to give the bloated appearance but Jesus how can a professional fighter get that out of shape that quickly and back into shape so quickly too. I know british boxer Ricky Hatton id the same. 12 weeks out from a fight Hatton weighs 12 st and he fights at 10st! How?

Cannot wait for UFC 75. Was at 72 (wasn’t that bad) and will be at 75. 50-50 for Rampage and Henderson. What a tough one for your first title defense.

Rampage is fat hahaha.[/quote]

He poked his belly out. Anyone can do it. Even those with six-pack abs.

For the record, I am well aware that Rampage is not the best MMA fighter in the universe. He’s good at what it is he’s good at which just so happens to be better than most. I’m only giving credit where it’s due.

Say what you want about rampage, his interviews are always funny as hell. His “I wanna be master chief with gold teef” killed me.

[quote post=”2926″]ya know what though granted the first match up was one sided for rampage but rampage just happen to catch a lucky punch to were i think they stopped way to early so rampage gata shut his mouth because dan hendo is gana hand his ass to him [/quote]
Whoa, how can you say that was a lucky punch. The Leben Santiago fight was a lucky punch. Rampage was looking at Chuck the whole time and caught with a perfect counter punch. And that was not stopped pematurely. When it was over you could read Chuck’s lips saying “What happened?”. Watch the fight again.

Don’t need to justify Liddell’s accomplishments. We’ll see if Rampage can hold on to the belt as long as Chuck did - I can gaurantee you he won’t.

Like I said if Henderson doesn’t get the job done (which he should) - Rua is going to embarass him, just like he did the last time.[/quote]

well chuck would get ktfo by hendo or rua to so you do not have much of a point brother.

I’ma big chuck fan and the hendo vs. page fight is a good match up for page….he will block realy good like always….and hendo will throw over hands like always and that is good for rampage because he blocks over hands very well….I think he will be to hard for hendo to take down and I think he is alote stronger than hendo…….

CHUCK LIDDELL….BEST LHW ever!!!!!!!!!!

It was a desperation over hand right that happen to connect and yes he did stop it early after 3 punches he stopped it but Kieth Jardine got KO’ED about 4 times before they actually stopped it

All the page and Liddell fans bickering lol comical. Im a liddell fan and reguardless of your opinion no one can take away Chucks Accomplishments or Page’s. Now im wanting Hendo to win but id agree he’s the slight underdog in this fight. Page really doesnt have to many holes in his game.As far as the Stomach thing well thats just Childish and the type of humor Page has is well childish. Page is one tuff SOB but i think the longer he is champ the more he will slack off in training for fights and that will be evident in the octagon. I think he will be in good shape for the Hendo fight but if he wins that it will slowly downgrade. No matter either way we have some great LHW’s now so hopefully we will be seeing some great fights in the coming future no matter whos the champ.

[quote comment=”118173″]my money is on henderson after seeing that. rampage has a personality, henderson doesn’t, thus henderson = better fighter.[/quote]

idk about that he looks damn serious and scary as hell before he fights. when it’s time to fight he’s as serious as they come

Well if Chuck should is “horrible” because someone beat him twice, then Rampage is “horrible” as well. Silva has two massive KOs on Jackson. My guess…. they are both great fighters.

No one is unbeatable. No one is so-called “guarantee.” If anyone can bring great hype to the fights and fight great, then I’ll be happy. Don’t forget we’re just fans with very very biased opinions about certain fighters. As for y’all Liddell-bashing fans, you would’ve sung a different tune if you had grown up with Liddell and known him as a person and being one of hardcore fans of Liddell, regardless of the outcome of his fights. I’m sure same goes for any fighters. In my case, I’m pro-Hamill all the way regardless of how suck his stand up is. At least, he’s undefeated until Sept. in London, where it may change. Still, I would be his fan mainly because I’ve known him and hung out with him at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Rampage is hilarious. I bet if Liddell saw that he probably laughed. It would seem Rampage just pokes fun at guys in a good natured context. I don’t think these fighters are all that sensitive about their 5 month pregnant bellies or missing front chompers.

Chuck wouldn’t have had such a long run with the belt if he’d been forced to fight the guys Rampage has.

On a serious note does anyone know how much Rampage cuts? Dan Henderson will be around 198/199 I think when they fight and he won’t have to cut weight in the final 2 weeks. Won’t have to lose water. Are we talking about a 225 lb er vs. 200 lb er.

Thats hilarious!

Are you guys serious? I can’t believe how many rampage haters there are lol. Dude is a great fighter and has a great personality which makes him a great champion. Great fighters lose..and they learn..and they train..and they come back. So if Hendo beats him..and I like Hendo too..then he’ll learn..dust of, and come back sharper ready to fight. People are blinded. Never deny someones skills like them or not.

Heh. Everyone hating on Rampage. So what if he loses, he owned Chuck.

he is pretty funny

Because someone knows him by name and can identify him from a picture - that gives him credit in MMA?? I think not.

The discussion is his MMA abilities - not whether we would recognize him.[/quote]

Okay, why is it that you recognize him? Clearly not because he’s a professional MMA fighter or anything like that…

You guys crack me up, saying a guy who has fought regularly at the highest level of MMA is a “nobody” because he has poor MMA skills. You know his name and recognize his face because he was good enough to reach that level of competition and stay there for a long time.

No, Randleman will never hold a belt again, but ask Cro Cop if he’s a “nobody”. You act like he’s some TUF reject.[/quote]
agree totally. randleman is like a 5 on the 1-10 scale of justifiable fighters if that but you make him sound like a 2 aka gabe ruetgger or whatever that losers name is/was.
and as far as rampage being less legit cuz he wont hold the belt as long…thats crap. although liddell fought good competition noone can say the UFC is as competitive then (when Liddell had his streak) as it is now. Rampage might lose to Hendo but if Liddell had to fight all the tough comp of todays UFC 5 years ago im not sure he would have had the impressive record he does or the recognition. or maybe he wouldve still beaten em i dunno, i think i made my point.
