So, real talk. . .

Rampage is gonna beat the shit out of Tito. Thats probably the only fight I would bet Rampage the rest of his life.

Page should win that one. I just hope he is in decent shape for it. Then again, how often is Tito in shape for his fights? Jesus Christ I just looked at Titos record and since beating Ken Shamrock he is 1-7-1. I almost forgot how bad his record was. Terrible. At least Rampage was beating some guys in the last few years. He hung with Jon Jones for four rounds, and lost to top guys like Bader and Tex. QJ hasn't really been trounced by anyone. I wonder what the line will be.

[SPX]

I'm not positive this is such a lock for Page. Tito looked pretty good in a lot of his losses, despite not winning. He came very close to being Forest in his last fight.

While I do favor Rampage it wouldn't shock me to see Tito win.

[edman5555]

I can't really remember the Forrest fight that well but I am guessing he came close because of his wrestling which isn't going to be super effective against Rampage. Rogerio and Rashad stopped him. He did well against Bader. I do get what your saying though now that I think about it. He isn't as out of this one as I was saying. He has a shot. He did take Rashad down in the first round of their fight. If he really commits to the takedown he can win but I could see him gassing from doing that. QJ's takedown defense is pretty solid and his hands are much better than Tito. Tito usually looks like shit striking.

It is kind of sad watching them try to hype the fight like it has meaning. It is painful to watch Tito hype fights anyway, but watching that almost made me cry.

If they are going to pull off a PPV, they need Chandler, Askren, and Mo on it too IMO. Those guys are legit current top talent, and they are going to have to put everything up if they hope to have a PPV worth buying. I mean, only 1M people wattch their free shows, so I have no idea why they think people are going to buy a PPV.

It used to be at least. But that has seemed a lot shakier in recent fights. Like you said, Tito took Rashad down. You don't think he can do the same to a Rampage who got dominated in the wrestling by Bader? Not that Bader is bad, of course, but he's not great either.

I've come to find that I'm in the minority around here on things like this, but I feel like once you've earned your name--earned a legacy--then your fights always have meaning. If Royce came out of retirement to fight tomorrow, it would have meaning. When Ken Shamrock fights, pathetic as the performance would undoubtedly be, it has meaning. If Matt Hughes ever comes out of retirement, the fight will have meaning. And any Anderson Silva fight--ever--will have meaning.

Tito and Rampage are in the same category. And besides, it's not like they're not still both very capable fighters. Granted, they're not at the top of the division, but there are guys who would get slaughtered by either who are out there winning fights in professional MMA contests.

[poopoo333]

Bader is a pretty good wrestler imo. He didn't look effective with his wrestling against Jones..that's it. He didn't even shoot on Machida. I know the missing weight/injury thing will come up with Bader vs Rampage, but I think Bader is legit and doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Moving on....Rampage wins. This is going to be a shitty fight. Tito won't be able to take Rampage down. They will both probably gas. They will both look like shit. They will both say "WE FOUGHT FOR THE FANS!!" at the end.
