Darrill normally fights at 205, and as a football player Marcus was taught how to get body position to manhandle men even bigger than yourself.

Marcus has a good ground game and a tremendous size advantage. A couple of people on Rashads team picked Darrill as the easiest fight to get to the semi-finals, so I don't believe he is as good as some people think.
Then again, does the UFC want to brand one of it's future fighters "titties"? Maybe Schoonover isn't seen as a prospect by the UFC brain trust. I mean if Schoonover made the finals would they be calling him "titties" or editing all that stuff out?

Schoon is undersized, he is a natural 205er and seems to just gain fat in order to make it as a heavyweight for the show. I assume there was a weight minimum of 230 this case to try and get legit heavies rather than 205ers who will cut back down.

So Marcus does have all they physical advantages, likely 6-7" inches in height, much longer reach, and probably 50lbs of muscle difference, meaning a HUGE strength advantage. Gas tank is still questionable though, and Schoonover still has the punchers chance and enough of a ground game to be a threat there as well.

To all the guys siding with Rampage on this titties issue: you wouldn't mind if Rampage called you sugar bum and grabbed your ass. Right?

Rampage takes his jokes too far and in the end even Darrill was having a laugh at it, but when Rampage grabbed his chest Darrill did the right thing.

Rampage didn't duck Machida either, Dana said he wanted him to do the Ultimate Fighter show and talked him into it.

Rampage would do FAR better against Machida than Rashad did..


Rampage would smash Rashad, I don't see where people can't see that. I don't even see Rashad walking through Thiago Silva.

This is what ive been saying all along. I mean Rashad says all this shit about how Rampage has gotten knocked out, lets see Rashad against a prime Wanderlei and see how he fairs, or a prime Shogun, Dan Henderson etc... Rashad gets ktfo'd by every one of those fighters. I mean there is no comparison at all. IMHO Rampage vs Rashad=Dan Henderson vs Bisping 2. Same result Rampage by KO

Freaking out like that only encourages Rampage. If Schoonover didn't take shit so personally, Rampage would've let up a long time ago because it would be no fun for him.

There are plenty of other fighters with man-breasts on the show, why would Rampage single out Schoonover? Because he's shown himself to be the most amusing target by reacting so obviously.

This whole thing makes me wonder why Rampage has such an obsession with another mans chest. I mean, he does seem kind of obsessed.

He took it for weeks before he even reacted to it, guys have even said they were surprised Darrill put up with it as long as he did. It's not like it was once and awhile either, Rampage was constantly doing it.

Right thing? He just looked like a goober.

Who are you clowns that take everything so seriously and personally? Have to be able to laugh at your own expense. Taking yourself too seriously is like taking the Internet too seriously. If Titties had been smart, he would have played along from the beginning and then it would have stopped being fun for Rampage quickly.

No one else is really calling Darrill titties to his face so its obvious that he wants to live down that nickname...

Although Rampage wants to see titties get smashed, that was a good pick for Marcus to advance.

So you want me to find Darrill at fault for being to easy a victim rather than find Rampage at fault for being a classless bully. I've seen plenty of people in my life that would be easy targets to bully, that doesn't mean I bully them.

When you go on national TV and get constantly bullied and taunted by a fighter who knows he's stronger than you and a better fighter than you, while your family and friends watch....then let me know.
