UFCGOD1 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 It?s no secret that Rampage has taken some flack over the last year for his decision to take time off to film The A-Team movie. When we spoke to Quinton this week, he had an important message for his fans on the subject? ?I still want to clear [something] up?some of my fans don?t understand why I didn?t fight Rashad in the beginning. I don?t think?the fans that don?t understand now, I don?t think they?ll ever understand. Just because I?m a fighter, doesn?t mean I can?t do other things. I just want my fans to know?no matter what, even though I haven?t been in the cage for a while?people think that I went Hollywood, people always got negative stuff to say. People always underestimate me. I?ve been in this game for a while; I just think it?s funny. I?m just gonna go out there and do my job. I wanna knock Rashad out as quick as possible and get on with my career.? Rampage went on to reveal that he expected to fight for the light heavyweight belt following his 2008 KO of old foe Wanderlei Silva, and that had Rashad still been champion, things might have played out very differently? ?If Rashad would have had the belt back then, I would have fought him most likely. There was a good chance that I would have fought him, but the dude didn?t even have the belt. After I knocked out Wanderlei I was supposed to be fighting for my belt next. So here I am. Now I?m really motivated to fight Rashad because of his mouth.? With the fight just over a month away, Jackson wont have long to wait before he finally gets his hands on Evans in what is fast becoming one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history. In an attempt to vocalise his mindset going into the fight, Rampage issued a chilling warning to his opponent? ?I don?t fight for glory and fame like some fighters. I don?t wanna walk around acting all tough coz I?m a fighter. But when people run they mouth like Rashad?they get dealt with. I hope he learns his lesson.?

Meekie01 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 i cant wait for this fight i just hope it lives up to the hype and rashad has the balls to stand with him instead of trying to lie on him like he did the injured thiago silva.... rampages takedown is good tho, should be a good fight.

The couple shots Silva connected with in Round 3 only proved that Rashad has a new chin, and it's more fragile than it once was. I got my money on Rampage though his wrestling is decent enough to force Rashad to have to stand with him, and IMO it'll only be a matter of time before he connects. Just hope he shows up in shape, and not like he did in the Forrest fight he was a little bigger in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay out of his limited kill zone, and don't let him take you down, a top LHW stands a very good chance at beating him.

Dicker410 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Here's a blog I wrote about him as I have to think I've seen it all, I follow ever aspect and Org in MMA The bum gets a new deal even though he can't fight! To boot he whines like a baby and youse all still give him respect. A black man that looks mean and intimidating is the only reason! Stereotyping this man is all the UFC has done. Promote a black man that has the looks and plays the image of a bad guy to selll thats all they've accomplished! No I'm not racist you could be yellow, purple, green or pink as long as you can fight! I'll take the heat but oh well, I speak the truth and walk to the beat of my own drum,so don't be shy! Wasn't that long ago that Chumpage didn't have his heart here in the UFC and wanted out. Dana gave him his wish to make movies but like all babies comes running back and signs a new contract.Even though he still didn't rightfully or contractually fulfill his last one. So are you looking for a comeback from his days in Pride? Let me tell ya he didn't impress me there either.Lost before he stepped in the ring with Shogun, I've said it a million times bur Sugar says it and its all good " I saw the look in your eye's" Thats becouse he knew he was gettin a beating for revenge on The Sho's brother! Correct me if I'm wrong. Most people didn't know of Rampage here in the UFC till he beat Chuck the second time! So yes even the sun shines on a dogs a$$ every once in a while, like the few impressive wins he has! But do I wanna see him , Hell No unless its against " Bones " Pride's rules so he cannot fulfilll his contract, hell it can even be Macheeza if he would do him in properly. Guaranf*ckunteed He'll never beat Shogun , Bone's or Anderson should he move up and want to take that fight ( Love to see it ) I see a Grif happening. Image is what keeps him around and I find that sad! I love MMA and respect what he does for a living, but he's not even a good fighter nor was he ever IMO.To come home and here the news the UFC resigned him is sickening.

bobby09 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 all you people act like this is rashad's debut and has never fought before.. ya its one thing to think rampage is gonna win and thats fine.. everyone has an opinion. but to say Evans will get killed and has zero chance on winning is stupid and a bad comment in general and proves you have no mma knowledge what so ever. and i'm gonna say 90% of all the people that think rashad will get killed and ruined and has no chance only say that cause they don't like rashad.. not because they actually think rampage will win. it would not surprise me one bit if rashad won and even in devastating fashion..

Danomaticc Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 When was the last time you seen him wrestle? Gee I dunno, how about when he outwrestled Dan Henderson?. Or when he took down Jardine? Saying he has no ground skills is stupid aswell. I believe the only person to ever submit Rampage was Sakuraba. He just hasnt wrestled in the UFC as much because his hands have gotten alot better so he doesnt have to. But when Rashad wants to wrestle with Rampage dont be suprised when he gets slammed and ktfo.

LW4MMA Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 You can beat Rampage from the outside' date=' (Griffin, Jardine) or the clinch, (Shogun.) If you stay out of his limited kill zone, and don't let him take you down, a top LHW stands a very good chance at beating him. [b']And you don't have to point out that Jardine lost that fight, because the judges said it was his 'til he got careless in the last 13 seconds[/b]. No. One judge that scored it 29-28 may have said that. Did you notice the other scores of 30-27 that means Rampage won the 1st 2 rounds, so even IF Jardine was winning the 3rd round it didn't mean that he would have won the fight! Though it was obvious that Rampage won all 3 rounds decisively. Forrest only beat Rampage "from the outside" (AFTER the 1st round whopping he took) after he kicked his knee out and still couldn't finish him in 4 rounds or even will all of them.
