The MMA Thread. BJ Penn Didn't Die #HeDeadThough

Damn, winner of Rampage vs Machida in a rematch vs Rashad? CMON MACHIDA.

i saw nam phan at my local chase bank like a week and a half ago.

it looked like he was depositing a check

that point would stand…if he wasn’t crying about not being able to fight and needing to make money, etc… he knew shogun was gonna be out until next year so he should stfu and be happy that the ufc gifted him a vacation.

You know it wouldn’t shock me if this were true, haha. Maybe he just needs some old financial advice. Few years old now I’m sure, but rings true just the same.

Still, I wonder how a fight with Machida would go differently now? I think Rampage would be more of the same, tbh. But we know he isn’t going to try and strike with Machida again, at least not in the same sense as last time. I don’t see him using that goofy monkey stance again in that matchup, he’ll get kicked right in the teef. Makes me wonder if he can work his wrestling against someone that can skate away that quickly? I’m not sure how he would approach that, not ruling him out or making a prediction, I’m just not sure how that fight would pan out exactly.

I said it during the Rashad fight. If Rampage’s fist even clips Machida, the nigga could go night night. Rampage after that fight had better work on his speed. Niggas ain’t gonna stand around and trade with him. And he better work his wrestling. Cause I know for certain that if he fights Rashad again as he is, he is going to lose.

Machida better just walk backwards all day and take pot shots. If he thought Shogun knocked him out…lol.

Word. Then we can see Rashad get knocked the fuck out again, right Rock? :rofl:

I kid, I kid. But I would like to see Machida come back strong after the beatdown Shogun gave him.

why does anyone think rampage is going to change. He’s going to do all the same shit he’s always done and he’s going to continue to lose.

Because he’s changed a lot over the years most likely :expressionless:

Yo man this shit is wack, I fucked up my calf last monday and it still is not 100%. If I don’t get back in the gym I might kill somebody.

Sugar Rashad is that dude thurst. Fall back

was it oversized?

lol no.

i dont watch tuf, but how is nam phan doing comparitively to the other guys?

i hope he does well since he is viet like i am and lives around little saigon.

Anytime he’s not cornering a guy, he’s doing decently.
Holy crap is he a horrible cornerman.

your winning…your winning.

lol…some people can understand a situation better when their in it than when they see it. lol…rampage isnt a much better cornerman and he’s far more experienced.

lol Rampage is shit as a cornerman.

“Okay now get him off you and get back up…”
“You’re going to need to get up or you’re going to lose"
Walks back to Dana
"He don’t listen.”

like i said hes not much better than nam

I’m mainly implying that he’s worse. At least Nam’s horrible cornering is more… encouraging I guess?

hahha nah…i dont remember him lying to his man.

Because people still think he’d be able to powerbomb mans like he did in Pride, I guess? People still think Pride is what’s up, lol. I dunno, I’m with you I think he’s just gonna do what he do, and Machida will run away all day for an easy decision.

I think Machida is going to circle like crazy, frustrate Rampage, then catch him with a punch that will give him a knock down. Then get on top of Rampage for a small flurry until Ref. stoppage. I honestly don’t care who wins this, I like both fighters. But Rampage, like everyone said, isn’t going to evolve his game and that’s going to cost him the W.
