People keep doubting Rashad and he keeps on winning. This may be the very first time we see Rashad work off of his back. I can see Rashad going for submissions in this fight. I wouldnt be surprised if Rampage comes out and puts Rashad flat on his back early. I love both guys but Rashad is my favorite fighter so I'm rolling with him. It would be awesome if Rashad pulls a PRIDE Wandy on Rampage and goes for tons of knees and kicks. Either way I see Greg Jackson preparing Rashad for a war.

nd to the person who said that Rashad gets hit, so what? Everyone gets hit. It's how you deal with it when it happens and so far Rashad has been flawless.

The fact is, Rashad is one of those guys who everyone likes to count out.

People didn't think he'd beat Chuck, Forrest, and now nobody thinks he'll beat Rampage. Everyone loses at one time or another, but after watching the last few UFC events and being shocked at some of the upsets, I seriously won't count anyone out. I say that even Mark Coleman has a chance to beat Fedor in a rematch. (Haha, I know, no chance, but seriously...)

With that being said, I agree, Rampage by TKO, but if Rampage lost by getting KTFO, I wouldn't even be surprised anymore.

Imho Rashad is not that good.

I think Rampage and Machida will beat him but also Shogun, Wand, T.Silva and Cane have a good shot. And perhaps also Hendo and Franklin.

What we all know for sure is that he's far from clearing the division.

Rampage by ko, he has the better boxing and can snuff rashads takedowns with ease.

Rashad's 1st loss will probably come from one of the elite fighters in the sport, like Shogun

SHOGUN IS OVER RATED.
SHOGUN MAY NEVER BEAT RASHAD.
It is pretty obvious

I am going with Rampage for regaining his title back. Rashad is good but I think Rampage is a better striker. Rashad only chance is to win is to try& out wrestle Rampage. Machida would win against Rashad also. I think Machida is a better counter attacker and moves in and out better than Rashad.

Rashad is 10X the athlete then Rampage is I don't see Rashad having any problems at all with Rampage.

Eveyone counted out Rashad in just about everyone of his fights. Rampage is no diffrent. I'll be sure I'll lay the house down on Rashad if these two ever fight.
