I don't remember the last time Rampage has been this serious before a fight. Is he nervous aout the fight and putting up a facade or is her serious and determined? A determined Rampage is probably the best fighter @ 205 based on his wrestling skills and his pure power. I can't decide if he is determined or nervous. Thoughts?
I think it's pretty much the same stuff he said leading into the third fight with Wanderlei. The difference is Rashad is improving as a fighter whereas Wanderlei is in the twilight and not nearly the same fighter he was when he knocked out 'Page in the past.
Do you think their fighting styles will make this an exciting fight? I know both guys hate each other, but that doesn't always result in a good fight unless they both come out swinging. I just don't see Rashad pushing the action right away and will dance around the ring to frustrate Rampage and force him into pressing with his strikes and making a mistake for Rashad to capitalize on. Could be a boring couple of rounds.
Possible but eventually Rashad will have to come close to Rampage. Evans tries to hard to be a fan favorite, so I think eventually he'll engage. Jackson is too strong to be held down if Evans can even get him down.
Evans will probably employ a similar strategy to Griffin. Lots of movement, leg kicks, and eventually when 'Page starts to get worn down, take-downs. This is a three round fight so I think rounds two and three will feature Rashad taking 'Page down and trying to keep him on his back.
The leg kicks are going to be where Evans wins this fight. If Page hasn't learned to check those fuckers, he is in for a long night.
shard has a awesome camp.. if he can move shane carwin around he can definately move page around as well.. its going to be a very interesting fight.. just hope page gets KTFO..
