That was kinda weak. I wished it was longer.

gotta love the quote, i am gonna whip his ass or i am gonna get my ass whipped. one thing about rampage, he his honest.

Rampage is a class act..and one MMA persona that embodies what our sport has become..If Rampage and Henderson bring their A games on Sept 8th..Wow!!! I’m pulling for Page in this match up to upset Henderson.

I think Rampage is gonna get his ass whooped.

Vision:

Rampage gets KTFO 1st round by a haymaker right hook.

This fight wll not go to a decision. They both have a great chance to win. If I had to pick… I’d go wit Rampage

Page has no chance of winning. Did you see how he was training? Weak training. He wasnt even hitting the bags hard. He looked so slow. Page cant win.

You honestly think that short piece of footage accurately depicts how his entire camp is going? If it does, I think you are right. He is probably putting in quite a bit of work though. He wanted the Pride belt for a long time and I don’t think he is taking Hendo lightly.

both men are class acts, i am pulling for henderson just so history can be made, other than that i don’t care

[quote comment=”137914″]both men are class acts, i am pulling for henderson just so history can be made, other than that i don’t care[/quote]

..If Rampage wins..that is not history?? To me it’s history both ways.

I like Hendo more then I do page. Both are good fighters..this is really a toss up. I see a 4rd TKO gnp for Hendo. This fight is going to the ground at some point with Hendo on top. WAR HENDO!!

Too many titles being held by one man is not a good thing. If Hendo can get his hands on the LHW and Middle weight belts simultaneously, we will only get to c like one title defense in each division per year. Is that what u guys want?

I dont care what Hendo says about staying at LHW, Dana white will try to unify the titles of as many divisions as he possibly can, therefore I am very sure that Hendo will face anderson Silva.

Rampage will win this fight…. but Hendo will be a FORCE to be reckoned with in either division. Think of the possibilities:
Hendo vs. Shogun
Hendo vs. Liddell
Hendo vs Wanderlei 3
Hendo vs tito (tito would get smashed)
hendo vs. Anderson Silva
Hendo vs. Rich Franklin
Hendo vs. Filho (when he comes over from WEC)

Title or no Title Hendo will be involved in many MMA WARS over the next couple of years. Id rather let Rampage have the title so Hendo can move up and down in weight to give us some of the most exciting fights in history.

What if Rampage’s 1st UFC SLAM comes against Hendo, WOW that would be a huge win!

sorry guys, this one is too close to call in my books…but Rampage seems to have that “I release footage of lacklsuter training videos….then whoop that ass on fight night” thing going for him. So I’m not sure. Hes a big tough dude. Cant eait for the fight though.

I like rampage, but he’s going to get his ass whooped in this one.

sounds good - id most like to see - Hendo vs. Anderson Silva - that would be a good strong match up for both guys

Henderson is cool and proven that he’s a dangerous dude but I can’t help but wonder what will happen to the LHW division if he wins. Henderson doesn’t seem very interested in fighting in the UFC (given his dislike of everything cage/unified-rules oriented so I think it would probably hurt the org to have him continue fighting there to be honest.

What r u talking about? Henderson doesnt have a big deal wit the UFC, but I guarentee he will sign a 5 or 6 fight contract win or loose vs. Rampage.

Believe me Hendo will be in the UFC for a long time

Y did i not know that Nakamura was fighting machida at UFC 76?
This fight hasnt even been mentioned…but Im looking forward to it

Anyone know what day Fedor is scheduled to meet wit Dana? I need a Fedor update soon!

I have respect for Hendo, and I train at a local Team Quest, so by default I support the guy. Either way, I hope it’s a three round pounder.

i dont see any way rampage can win. to me it would be more of an upset then serra winning. rampage might own chuck but he doesnt own hendo. shogun schooled rampage and broke him mentally and physically and i see the same thing happening here. i see alot of hype for a very one sided fight. i highlt doubt hendo will even try to finish the fight early. i see the fight going into atleast the 3rd round with rampage looking tired and beaten down and after he gasses hendo will push the pace more and get the KO.

..The Rampage that lost Silva/Shogun is not training with ametuers no more..Rampage is a different fighter with the same insane core strength..to pick Henderson up from the guard and knock him out..better striking..and Juanito in his corner..breaking Page down on what he needs to do to beat Henderson..It should be a War..but I think Rampage is going to big to strong for him.. and I know Dan has fought bigger guys but not anyone with Page’s type core strength.

For anyone to claim that they can honestly predict this fight is crazy.

Page n Hendo r very evenly matched, this fight comes down to:
Conditioning
Preperation
Gameplan

Both Hendo and Rampage have the ability to not only win but finish the fight. If I was forced to choose I would go wit Rampage.

This fight will feature Rampages worldclass take down defense
(which might even b better than Liddells)

Vs.

Hendo’s world class takedowns

Fixed92: u have a wild imagination if u dont c anyway Rampage can possibly win!

Im pulling for Dan but im not counting out Page at all. Im torn with trying to predict the outcome. So im not gonna im just gonna say i want Henderson to win but if he doesnt like John said he’s gonna have a healthy career in the UFC either way.

Tough call who wins this won, I like rampage better but I really don’t know much about hendo, I’m more of a ufc guy. I feel its kinda like 50/50 and will be a good fight, most likely go to a decision.

Rampage should win this fight but Hendo will make noise in 185

“where you at” thats what the ref is gonna be asking rampage, right after hendo knocks his head off!

Check Rampage working the thai clinch and knees. Gonna be a war, but I hope Page takes it

WAR RAMPAGE!!!!

You know I was thinking, that Shogun gets the winner of Rampage/Henderson match for the title, if Liddell wins over Jardine, he WILL face Silva in December, surely for a title match, can you imagine if Shogun wins the title and Silva beats Liddell??? Shogun Vs Silva? I mean they are like brothers! It can happen, would be an insane match. Other than that, other possible matches are any combination of Rampage/Henderson/Shogun Vs Liddell/Silva. Who would you want to see say Summer 2008, fight for the title. Remember Dana said Liddell needs 2 wins to get another crack at the belt, and Jardine is no match for him.

the x factor (to me) in this fight is Juanito. He is gonna have a great gameplan for rampage to execute on Hendo. Gonna be a great fight

Jaunito is a bitch

Man Rampage looks to be in better shape then when he fought Chuck

i dont think this one will be close. page is just too big. dan could land a big right or dish out a little g&p, but i dont think so.

rampage cant be the underdog… right?

Juanito is a bitch? FJ you tough son of a gun, I’m sure if you saw him you’d say that to him too. Thats always how it goes down with heroes that can lift their fingers and type nonsense disguised as personal opinion.

I hope Page wins. Hendo is a bad champ in my opinion. He doesnt have much a personality and is no fun to root for.

Couldn’t of said it better i like both fighters but page more.it would b great to see the new page vs shogun/silva it will be a different match.but good luck to both fighters

IF HENDERSON WINS THE TITLE IN ORDER FOR HIM TO RETAIN THE TITLE HE HAS TO FIGHT FOR THE UFC. IF HE DECIDES TO LEAVE HE WILL HAVE TO RELINQUISH THE TITLE. PLUS FROM WHATS CIRCULATING PRIDE FC IS RAPIDLY FADING.
ON RAMPAGE-HIS SKILLS ARE NOT AS TECNICAL AS HENDERSON’S.
RAMPAGE HASN’T SHOWN CONSISTANCY HIS HIS WILL TO DOMINATE
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. HIS NEWLY FOUND GLORY MIGHT CHANGE THAT BUT I SEE HENDO WINNING BY KNOCKOUT.

Rampage isn’t the underdog
Last odds I seen were:
Rampage -150
Henderson 120

which is funny because:
Shogun -150
Forrest is 120

So in the oddsmakers eyes, Forrest has as good a chance at beating Shogun, as Hendo has of beatin Rampage. That is crazy! r the oddsmakers on Crack…. Im betting Big Bucks on Shogun at -150 odds. The winnings r gonna pay for me to go to my next 2 UFC events live!

Hey, under the fighter profiles in UFC.com, it lists Dan “Dangerous” Henderson, instead of Hollywood. I have always known him as Hollywood, when was he ‘Dangerous’, or did one of the UFC.com interns mess up?

I will go out on a limb and say Dan wins. Setting up Rampage to take on Tito. And Dan vs Chuck. While Silva ends Jardines career.

Yeah Dan wanted it changed to Dangerous instead of Hollywood. At least thats what Trigg said on FSN.

Are you sure about that? That’s gonna screw up all the schedules for the fighters. If Hendo moves up and down in weight (assuming he holds on to LHW/MW belts) competing in more than 1 division …this will STALL championship fights in LHW or MW depending on which division Hendo competes in.

Even tho i’d like to see him face A.Silva, i think this’ll just screw up the matches. I hope he picks ONE divison to fight in.

If Hendo wins…I think he’ll stay @ 205lbs.
If Rampage wins…Hendo might go back to 185lbs. I think there’s a little more pressure on Rampage to win.(not that pressure means much to either fighter) But Rampage is @ 205lbs for life. Hendo could really drop down whenever he feels like it. Another words, if Rampage wants to stay on top…he HAS to win. Hendo could lose this fight and have another title shot right off the bat @185lbs.(possibly?)
I’d be just as excited to watch Hendo face Anderson Silva!!!
HOLLALULLIA HOLLA BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

This fight will be a war. There will be no quick stoppages or any other nonsense for this fight. Hendo is a warrior and Rampage is a soldier.

This fight could go either way. If Rampage can control the pace and the clinch, he can beat Dan much like he did Matt Lindland. If Dan can create space and throw those haymakers and set up the takedown….he might have it too.

Don’t listen to the haters, this fight is going to be a war.

Actually I wrote that post assuming that he looses against Quinton. Sorry I should have been more specific

Actually I would love to c Dan not hold any titles. It sounds selfish but without a title, he can move up and down in weight classes giving us all kinds of dream matches.

If I had to pick a division for him to stick to, it would be Middleweight. No one else can really challenge Anderson for the tittle in that division. He is really needed in that division. I would like to c him fight Rich Franklin also

But b4 any permanent move to MW, I will guarentee that Dana will set up a Henderson vs. Wanderlei 3 match, especially since they fought each other on American Soil last year, so it will be a very marketable and exciting fight!

Tito will never have the ballz to get in a cage wit Rampage, he will spend the rest of his career ducking Rampage and all the other Pride stars. At this point in his career he seems content on squeeking out a win by decision against lessor experienced TUF alumni. Until Bisping KTFO Tito, and then the only person left for Tito to fight(and that he isnt scared to fight) will be against Albert Crane at UFC 80: THROW EM TO THE WOLVES! This event will take place between Janne Jameson’s legs!

I just hope Herb Dean isn’t the ref!

I was watching Pride 30 last night and Rampage was talking about training with Tito and saying how Tito was moving his huge head around…I busted up laughing.

Actually the axe murderer picks Rampage to take it to the distance and pull a win.

Seeing that you ’supposedly’ train at Team Quest, I would hope that you knew that your fellow teammate if fighting in the first ever unification title bout, which is FIVE ROUNDS. Unless a “three round pounder” means that you don’t care you wins, as long as someone gets KO’d part way thru the 3rd round? Or do you want it to go the distance???

Why? Because he ain’t Hip Hop like Rampage??? Dan is a class act that deserves everything he has recieved in life because of his hard work and dedication. I’ll have fun rooting for him as he tears up the 205 and 185lb divisions of the UFC, win or lose the fight against Rampage.

The Facts:

In today’s conference call with Dana White, Dana said that if Dan loses, he doesn’t know what division he would be fighting in.

When Dan was asked the same question, he said that he would actually prefer to fight at 205lb so he doesn’t have to cut any weight, and there are better fighters in the 205lb division. Also, he said that he has fought against bigger guys his whole career, so its no big deal.

No one listens to douche bags that triple post. STFU.

No one listens to douche bags that triple post.

STFU. No one listens to douche bags that triple post.

Nathan I don’t think Rampage has that kind of stanima but i think it’s his chin that won’t last the 5 rounds. If this match goes all 5 rounds I will be $hiting my pants w/ anticipation for all 25 minutes. TEAM QUEST all the way!!!
Congrats to Randy for destroying Gonzaga.

I cant wait for Cro Cop vs. Gonzaga 2. The same thing will happen but the exact opposite and that I can promise you.
