I think Quinton would be a very tough fight for Rashad.

I predict a very boring fight with a lot of standing around and posturing and little engagement. Rampage could catch Rashad and KO him, but otherwise I think it'll go the distance and Evans will get a hometown decision.

At this point, I give anyone a chance against anyone. I think we are at a point now where the TUFers and younger fighters have an edge over the old legends (even the "not so old") Anything can happen, but I think Rampage may be the underdog.

Rampage certainly has improved his boxing, but so far, in the UFC, he has faced brawlers and wrestlers. Against Rashad, I don't think he will have such a clear advantage standing. I wouldn't be surprised if he one-punched Rampage in a way that makes Chute Boxe look like a girls club. At the same time, Rampage could land that big punch too. The most likely outcome is that both will avoid each other's power and the fight could be a boring decision.

I dont think Rampage will beat Rashad...Rashad fights from the outside and uses his speed...Page is a pocket fighter and will have trouble getting in range with Rashad...Rashad will do to Page essentially what he did to Chuck...pick'em apart from the outside which will then frustrate Page into making a mistake that Rashad can capitalize on.

There's a good chance at that. Quinton was pretty tentative with Forrest.

I thought the same thing of a potential match with Machida as well.

Hopefully they both bring it.





(is 'bring it' one of those too often used terms from that other thread?)

This is going to be a great fight. It's too close to call in my opinion.
