Silva and Rampage 3rd rematch: Who'd win?

jasonist · 08-14-2007, 10:36 PM

I really don't know who to pick

History shows Rampage has been manhandled by the chutebox, (Silva X2. Shogun.)
However, after his stunning KO of Liddell, he is at the top of his prime and is extremely confident.

If Silva steps in to the UFC, silva will now become the underdog, compared to the days in Pride when Silva was the absolute king of 205'ers and one of the prominent symbols of Pride itself. Silva will have to adjust to the cage, and rampage will be (or at least should be by now) equipped with improved clinch-defense and a better way to block himself from Silva's swing punches.

Silva also has to regain his ferocity and relentlessness. A guy like silva will immediately bring a huge fanbase; No body ever so vicious has stepped into the cage.

Aside from rampage, silva will (should) have a rematch with tito, and a match with chucky.

If i have to pick between silva and rampage in a 3rd fight, i'd still pick silva. Chutebox owns (well, silva's training with couture or something, i dunno)

Silva
But it wouldn't be a walk in the park like their first 2.
I think Rampage has improved since their last fight.

I think Rampage could benefit from the scoing system and the different rules if he could make it to decision he could take it. Though it could be all knees to end it. I think Rampage is in better form now than Wandy especially w/ the lay off

Silva won twice already! Who the #$@ would pick Rampage? Why?

Silva.

I'd still pick Silva.

why it has to be different than the other 2 when the other fights wasnt even close, bassically 2 of the most brutal kos in the history of pride

If Silva is still with chutebox (which does not look likely) then Rampage wins easily...

Rd 2 at the most.

If wanderlei goes and TEAMS up with Randy (not just works out there on every other Thursday, or some garbage like that...), and he takes his new team training seriously then it is a different story.

I think if Wandy and Randy team up (randy retiring soon, and wandy being his protege.. that is my best guess) then Wanderlei will be ALMOST unstoppable in the LHW division, and he will beat rampage.

Just my 2 Cents

3rd Fight.
*2nd Rematch.
Don't know why it would happen, but if it did, Silva.

Picking Rampage over Silva is like picking Liddell over Rampage.
