Rashad should've had words with Rampage first

Rashad made a mistake by putting Rampage's team on the spot by asking them to train with his team. He should've explained to Rampage in private why he wanted Rampage's team to train with his team, instead he put Rampage's team on the spot, making them and Rampage feel uncomfortable.

Rashad is a clever guy, he should've thought about it first. Some are saying Rashad done it on purpose, to try and get one over on Rampage, I'm not sure, maybe he just wasn't thinking. Either way I don't think it was wrong of Rampage's team to decline Rashad's offer, considering they were put on the spot like that.

rampage should have sent a few killers over there to hurt them on purpose.

I think they should have sent 3 guys over to Rampages team and a few of Page's guys to Rashad's team to make it better for them all to train.

Some of the guys in the house WILL end up helping the guys on Rashad's team because they are friends.

You can't blame Rampage's team for not wanting to help, it was the way that Rashad asked.. He also pinpointed certain people to ask, like saying "Kimbo?" "Demico?" etc.

What are they going to say? Also Rampages fighters get offended at Rashad saying Page quit on them because he didn't. Rampage is there training with them every day and doing the best he can, he can't get in there and fight for the guys.

I also don't like how Rashad said to Big Baby "I would pick the opposite of who Rampage picks because he did make you guys 7-1" Rampage only picked the first 2 fights and I think Shivers should have won his, and Abe got taken down by Rashad's fighter pretending he was going to touch gloves at the start of the 2nd round.

Rashad constantly tries to turn Rampages fighters against him and it's not going to happen, obviously Rampage hasn't been that bad of a coach, or that bad to the guys or they wouldn't be so loyal to him.


I hope Big Baby wins the whole show

Marcus Jones is still live in the tournament, so Team Rampage fighters going over to help out team Shad fighters would be hurting their own teammate. Now Shad has seven live fighters and all start thinking about not wanting to help out their competition. Shad should probably split up training into two four man "camps" with the opponents obviously in seperate camps.

If I was Nelson, I might go train with Rampage - get away from Shad's two favorites - Schaub and McSweeney. Nelson basically does his own thing anyways.

Rashad could have handled that whole situation a lot better. Rashad and Rampage should have traded some fighters to make their training camps better, but that just makes too much sense for reality tv.

Hopefully Jones will get beat in the next round, it would be cool if they told Quentin and Tiki their services were we no longer needed and they could go back and hang out with Zack Light.

Rashad is a clever, he wanted a 4 for 1, humiliate Rampage and create disloyalty, back-stabbing, and resentment under the disguise of training.

rampage was there? like he was when demico was ready to fight, but he and the trainers went out to eat? and when he was off whining about the loses instead of taking care of his fighters mental state after a loss? the reason they like rampage is because he is "cool" and tries to be funny. the proof is in the pudding when it comes to training...7-1 in the fights so far.
