there is a winner but there is not a loser in a sense looking at the work they put up training for the fight
And Page had no excuses, he said he was in good shape
To be honest, I don't know how the Rashad endured those punches by Rampage, he got rocked so hard... to be able to still get back up and fight is beyond amazing. Rampage may have been out of shape, but those punches sure as would have knocked out just about any fighter.

none of these were clean
He can say he had 8 ing arms but I'm not believing him when I only see two. He was not in top notch shape. He was gassed pretty much the entire fight, and from what?
Page needed to let Shad up and let his hands go why he didn't amazed me, he was jokeying for postion on the ground when all he had to do was let Shad up and let his ing hands go..
And when they finally did get up they just played patty cake for a minute.
simple rust
If you could see other fights rampage always came quick in the fights. Now he got caught and that set up the pace which QJ was not ready for
At the end of the day as much as i root for certain fighters i appreciate anyone who works their asses off and shows heart, skill and determination..
Rashad showed all of those things tonight so he gets my thumbs up..
Page if he wants to come back has to get consistant training... Make no mistake about it Rashad won that fight because he is a harder worker in the gym than Page.. Page must committ to fighting 100% or forget it
Shad is good on the ground, not great but good enough that is where he wanted to be. Shad was thinking "Hang on and recover" and Page let him do it. When he goes home and sees the tape of how bad Rashad was hurt he is going to be even more pissed than he is now.. Rashad's eyes were glassed over he was hurt bad....
Rust and being out of shape for camp.. That is where Page killed himself for this fight. When i heard on Primetime that he came into camp at 250 pds i paused big time. All he had to do was watch his damn diet and he would have come in at like 230.. I was worried all day about that but thought his experience would carry him through. But it didn't. He let Shad off the hook and was outworked by the more dedicated fighter
Rampage can beat Rashad
he 100% can but he needs to work harder and the layoffs.. Promote your movie this summer and get back in the ing GYM!!!!
Maybe not out of shape. He was in shape after the camp. He got down to 220 and then was making the last cut. That is huge and the body responds.
UR right, he should not be out of shape before the camp, but I don't know if he knew he is gonna be back. Dolce said he was training that year secretly - I do not believe it.
take fedor for example. he might not fight in long streaches but he trains all the time
All that and rust and Shads quickness and gameplan was too much unforunately.
.
I was so sure that glass jaw will previel ...
I had pleasure to talk with a guy who is a co-oner of biggest polish mma organzation. he said that evans will win I said Rampage gonna take it with KO
damn I'm pissed after what Evas was saying.
And I do see Evans matching up with Shogun good (like he said few minutes ago) unfortunately
ps. If you do not understand something from my posts just say
I ment that I thought that glass jaw of shad will come to play as rampage can end the fights with one shot
I really feel the Page that beat Hendo and Chuck would have won tonight by KO. But that is not the Page that stepped into the cage. The Physical talent is still there but the drive and consistant work ethic is not.. That is where Shad earned my respect tonight. He is a fighter and only a fighter where as Page's other interests clearly costs him one of the biggest fights of his career.
He can come back
i do think there will be a rematch as long as Page gets it together with his training. I expect Shogun to whip Rashad, so Page needs a fight in between..
win and get a rematch..
Your English has come along great Poland
You're doing great..
True but think about how many weeks he was training not in top shape compared to Shad who never got out of shape. He is always training and not taking layoffs where he gains huge amounts of weight. You know when Shad found out that Page was in camp out of shape it only fired him up more
how could it not???
First things first, I missed some of the opening fight because TW Cable put some bull purchase pin lock on my and I had no idea how to buy it. I caved in at the last minute, but eventually got it working only to discover...
Diego vs Hathaway - The first thing I saw was a huge knee to Diego's face. , not again. He looked nothing like I expected, and Hathaway showed some real smarts. It's amazing that someone as big as Hathaway can be WW, but Diego looked like he didn't have any idea the size or caliber of fighter he was fighting. HIS CORNER IS ! HIS SENSE OF URGENCY IS ! I am very sad.
Nogueira vs Brilz - Great fight from the underdog, he definately deserved the decision but was very humble. I have no doubt Dana will remember him stepping up and putting in a great effort tonight, looking forward to his next fight!
Duffee vs Russow - WTF. I kept waiting for Russow's head to unscrew, then all of the sudden Duffee is on the floor and gets rabbit punched for the KO.
Bisping vs Miller - Bisping has been a new fighter since losing to Hendo, and he continued to show improvements tonight. My only problem with him as a fighter is that he can take anyone to a decision and win, but I don't think he can finish anyone in the upper tier of MW. That's what I'd really like to see from him.
Jackson vs Evans - Rashad showed Diego the importance of a good corner, strategy, and sense of urgency. Rampage is bigger, meaner, and has better instincts than Rashad...but Rashad kept things off balance and put in even more work to increase his already solid speed and cardio advantage. Glad to see both guys left out the talk when it was done. Shogun vs Evans is gonna be awesome, as is Rampage vs Machida!
Sucks but Diego is done.. He looked so bad tonight i was amazed. No striking or wrestling whatsoever. He also looked slow which is puzzling since he is a small WW
What did he do? I didn't watch
Umm just like Carwin ?
I know carwin does not gets out of shape but is not all in fighting as he has other job.
We do agree on this
--------------
Damn I met a fine girl which is huge mma fan for a long time ...![]()
Some boooos came and he said there are no losers in cage and that
But I would need to listen to it again as I was still stunned
We'll see what happens
We have not seen the last of Page, he will come back.. How big he comes back is 100% up to him..
Yea if he gonna have motivation now?
maybe Forest for a rematch ?
