Rampage gonna "son" Bader Phone Post

 old rampage would woophim, not 100% sure the new unmotivated rampage will

Pretty good card just got better

War bader! Phone Post

Should be a great test to see if rampage can stay on his feet vs bader's wrestling, im seeing alot of clinch work and dirty boxing in this fight. That being said i am a fan of both these two and i know its going to be a great fight. The best gift of all would be to give Japan one last rampage slam!

MentaL -  Why is this fight happening?


because Rampage is popular in Japan, really wanted to fight ...and Bader was obviously healthy and interested.

I understand why everyone seems quick to write Bader off, but I don't see an "easy win" for Rampage here. Bader has all the tools to be a top 5 LHW, he just needs to find the right gameplan for each fight. Still, I got Rampage in this one, probably by KO.

I am confused by this fight.

Rampage via Decision is the most likely outcome. Rampage by TKO potentially.

rampage wanted shogun or forrest.

shogun stated on twitter he isnt injured, and forrest has had plenty of time to recover from his tko.

why didnt ufc set him up w/ either of those?

Why do people pretend that Mo is relevant? They have beef? Fake beef from Mo so he could get in the UFC you mean. Phone Post

okay match-up, but nothing special.

Smart for the UFC to get Rampage on the Japan card.

norcal3737 - rampage wanted shogun or forrest.

why didnt ufc set him up w/ either of those?


shogun and hendo both got 6 month suspensions for their fight

The ufc probably doesn't want Forrest to lose 2 fights in a row so they'll avoid that match up for a bit either that or this Japan Card wont be on ppv cause of the time difference and the UFC would want to put Forrest/Rampage on a card as a draw. I think Bader can win this fight but if he charges at Rampage like he did with Tito he'll end up KO'd.

We all saw how Forrest felt about being in Brazil so why would he go to Japan? Phone Post

trianglezilla - Rampage vs Hamil 2? I don't see it going much differently <img src="/images/phone/apple.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>

My first thought

<blockquote>goku - Mo v page made a lot more sense. There is beef and the Japanese love to see muscular black men hit each other.</blockquote><br />Beep

wow this is a really lame match to make right now.


if they aren't giving Shogun a rematch with Dan, it would be AWESOME to see a rematch with Jackson happen in JAPAN.

wishful thinking, but would be cool if PRIDE rules were in effect while in JAPAN. Shogun did win by soccer kicks afterall...

Damn bad matchup for Bader.

I have wanted Rampage/Shogun 2 for years now.

Hope it still happens someday.
