Rampage is affable, talented, humble, and all-around entertaining. I can't imagine someone not liking the guy. I could lie and pretend to like the guy (not going to but I could)? I'll tell you (And I'm not doing this as a personal attack on Duce... and his huge gaint mmA EGO!) why I don't like Rampage. His whole speach about "Heh here in Pride CHuck you won't be able to elbow the f... out of guys and stack them up agianst the cage." Yeah rampage... Chuck really elbows guys... That happens alot. The whole low brow, black folks love the chedda nonsence where he looks like mma hooked on ebonics. If duce never exhisted I would still hate Rampage. I know he's a likeable guy but he rubs me the wrong way. I was annoyed when he use to talk about how it was all about the money before coming to the ufc and said he wasn't interested in the belt.. and how he use to make jabs at the ufc.. the samy company he depends on now to make a living. Is it small and my own personal view? Yes. I'm not threatened by rampages fans and he's allowed to have them. I'm not Duce for crying out loud. I just don't like him and I don't feel like pretending. |

The whole low brow, black folks love the chedda nonsence where he looks like mma hooked on ebonics. This is why I should hate him too. I hate when athletes play the "I'm black" card. Or try to act "street" or whatever you call it. However, for some reason it works for him. I will not however give him an exemption for his commission of Timmay Sin 101 - wearing his belt around everywhere. The jagbags at Sherdog rip on Timmay for this but defend Rampage saying it's part of his bling. Hypocrites. FYI - Any non-MMA fans reading this who think there are a lot of morons who post, etc. go to www.sherdog.com. I like reading some stuff there but I've never seen a higher percentage of retards posting anywhere in my life. |

Well thank you for your discussion Havoc. It's been enlightening and refreshing.
The irony is I like Crazy horse Bennette. But I'll go into that later lol.

He's goofy and not to be taken seriously. Him beating Noons proves Noons is a chump (at least to me).
Still i recall showing some none mma fans his fight "Down Horse.. stop it!" and getting loads of laughs. NIck Diaz must have slipped on the slime trail noons walked in on fell over and knocked himself out. It sure wasn't because of talent.
I mean who else lets themselves get knocked out by a crack dealer?
(If anything I said is wrong feel free to correct me).

I meant when Jo Boxer made him look like a clown. |

Well Knapik It's not that I have a problem with black mma fighters. I like Yves Edward, Melvin Gullard, Din Thomas, so forth and so on.
Maybe it's the whole knock off junk yard dog motiff, who knows. It's not because he's pride, hell I like Bob Sapp (even though he's technically more k-1). Part of it is how he acts, and the other half is his fan base that laps up his speal like it's fine whine.
Than there was the whole annoying fan base of his that blamed him finding God on becoming a worse fighter. Like I said there's alot not to like. It's those same fans now that he beat Chuck just shut up about the whole God thing, when in fact it was something the man found as a personal source of strength that may have improved his life and allowed him to focus more on training.
But if you'll listen to Duce he'll just explain I'm not really Catholic and because of his HUGE GIANT EGO i'm making this all up to troll.

Now than my top ten for light heavy weight.
1 Rampage (he has the belt)
2Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida
Well I’m eating crow again. Unhappiness has a name and for me it’s the light heavy weight division. Some day I’ll have a light heavy champ I like..... Som day far, far from now. Undefeated and a big win over Soku seems like a solid path to the title.
3 Okay this is going to be messy from here. Rashad Evans. Wins over Jardine, Bisping,, he’s undefeated he’s drawn with Tito, and has a impressive win over Jason Lambert.
4 Jardine. He holds recent wins over Forrest Griffon and Chuck Liddel. It’s not a perfect rank, but right now that’s almost impossible.
5Forrest Griffon He hold a very high and impressive upset win over Shogun and is slated to face the champ. Just imagine if he wins he’ll be number one ney?
6 Chuck Liddel
Made his first step to get back on track with a legendary battle last night... But lets keep in mind both man where on a down hill free fall. We won’t really no where Chuck is until after his next fight ability wise. Still great fight.
7 RAMEAU THIERRY SOKOUDJOU 4-1
The bubble has burst. He’s finally started to lose some of his steam and has finally started to look mortal. Still... I expect him to bounce back given the chance and I think he could easily give anyone in the top ten a run.
8 Shogun
Speaking of fighters given the chance to bounce back, nothing would make me happier to put this man around 3 or so. His past record speaks for itself but we’ll have to see if his game improves now that he’s in a new fight org.. and with a new camp.
9 Wanderlei
I learned to be a Chuck Liddel fan and Wanderlei fan all in the same night in one fight. One guess? I’ve always liked his fights... Now I learned he just isn’t some over inflated star. Thank you Wanderlei for not being one more disappointment. With any luck we’ll see you spring up higher in the count and soon. Due you know the irony of this one? Wanderlei fought to the best of his ability last night and still lost. I think we saw peek axe murderer last night, and yet I veiw Shogun's future more brightly simply in that I think he can perform higher than he has.
10 Thiago Silva
Is undeafted and just recently poped Houston Alexander. I'm interested to see more.
Now to be fair, I really should change this to the UFC light heavy weight top ten.
Now keep in mind ranking should lead to title shots. In my view I think Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida has earned the next title shot.
I'm not his fan. I never will be his fan. I'm not on his band wagon in the least. I just think he deserves it.
