dont get me wrong , he's a great fighter and has potential to be a huge star in North America. But he seems to have that belfort look to him , after randy beat him. he has lost his last 3 fights to guys in the top ten and didnt look all that impresive in his last win at pride.
I loved watching Rampage when he had that crazy look in his eye like he was going to kill someone, now he just seems to go in with doubt or disinterest in his eye.
"he has lost his last 3 fights to guys in the top ten"
Two of those were the same guy, though.
Rampage was always kind of a methodical fighter. He's a good finisher when his opponent is hurt, but he's no guns-blazing type like Shogun. Look at his fight with Randleman -- seven minutes of nothing, then bam. He smashed Yokoi quick enough (a hell of a lot faster than Nogueira did).

maybe im wrong . what do u think."
after Randy beat him?
Randy?
when did that happen?
he lost to Wand and Shogun, these guys are the top of the food chain, i hope he squishes Lindland....
"Rampage just needs to learn how not to get kneed from the clinch that is where everything goes wrong for him imo."
Excellent point... I thought he was winning the second fight vs Wanderlei until he kept getting caught....
Here's a definite example that he could has easily avoided (from early on in the fight):

(here) so it only shows the lead up... what you don't see is him being stuck in Wandy's clinch and taking a big knee.
