Rampage has apparently said that he's open to the possibility of signing with Bellator now that his UFC contract is up.

Rampage has apparently said that he's open to the possibility of signing with Bellator now that his UFC contract is up.

Bjorn pretty much said he didn't want Rampage.

"That would be one of those square-peg-round-hole situations," Rebney recently told Yahoo! Sports. "I don't think he would deny he's at the latter stages of his career. He's not in the infancy or even in the middle portion of his career."

"How he can conceptually fit in the structure that we have -- that would be [a question] I would have to get smarter people than I to sit down around a table and discuss," Rebney said.

"Rampage" is now a middle of the road fighter by his own admittance. A gatekeeper, if you will. Someone like that probably won't ever see a belt around his waist again, but that's not to say he's completely washed up. At 34 years old, he still has some usable years ahead of him. What he uses those years for is still up in the air, but they'll likely not be spent in a Bellator cage on Spike TV.

Right, so Bjorn wants War Machine and Paul Daley, but not Rampage. Page would be the biggest star Bellator has ever seen and would do huge numbers. I do not believe he wouldn't sign him. What I find funny is the idea of Page even considering it. Page seems WAY too big for a promotion like that.

Its probably because Page could be the champion of Bellator and then Dana White would rail on about how the Bellator champ loss so many times in the UFC. On top of that, Bellator probably doesn't want to pay Rampage over a million dollars everytime he fights. They probably can't.

I doubt Rampage could even complete a tournament in Bellator. Those guys fight 3 times in like 2 months or so. He could never stay on weight for 2 months.

LOL.

It's true...I'd fade Rampage against lower level guys too (well Bellator pulls their LHWs out of the stands) but I think he is injured/injury prone and would fight hurt and shit if he was in a tourney. Would not surprise me if they brought him in for Rampage vs King Mo though

I bet mo would whup his ass and Rampage would cry because Mo took him down too much...

I think it is because Rampage costs too much

[SPX]

Isn't Bellator owned by Viacom? They have a shitload of money. But whether or not they want to spend it . . . that's the question.

If Mo was allowed to use elbows I think he'd fuck Rampage's shit right up. Rampage's T3D looked so fucking bad against Glover I have no doubt Mo could take him down without much effort especially if it went into the 2nd/3rd rounds. I'd take Mo up to -300 in that fight if it ever happened.

[Ludo]

I'll post them if he wants to send them to Me. I'll PM My Cell number if you're up for it, Wiseman.
