Rampage and Bones are two of my favorite fighters. With that being said though, I don't know how Rampage can win this one. Bones just seems to tall and has to much reach for Page to deal with imho. It will be a war though so I'm really looking forward to it.
What Page has going for him is great TDD, an iron Chin and big punching power.. I don't think it's a walk through for Jones. 5 round fight but for 3 rds at least Page if he's in top shape is gonna be very dangerous.. He wants to get inside and unleash with those hooks. Jones is gonna want the TD and stay on the outside. But Page can win if he make Jones fight him. One thing we have not seen is his chin.. Page is perfect guy to test that if he connects..
I wish Rampage would switch camps, so he could come into this fight in top shape. With Rampage one punch can do it, so anything can happen.
He has great striking coaches but lacks great wrestling partners i think.. He trains with so many guys at Wolfslair and we know Brits suck at wrestling.. But he has always had good TDD and wrestling mainly cause he is so strong.. Back in the day remember they used to call him SlamPage...
His camp isnt bad, it just seems like sometimes they dont push him to the max. I hope they make sure hes in the best shape of his career, cause if he isnt hes going to get hurt.
Good points...I don't expect it to be a walk through for Bones but I expect him to win though. Unless Page hits him really hard, because like you said we haven't seen his chin, we don't know how hard of a hit he can take. And Rampage will def hit him hard if he gets the chance. This is gunna be a good fight
It's a great fight because it's not one of those when it hits the mat it's over.. Page is to get down and damn near impossible to keep down. You combine that with his iron jaw and big power and you got some fire-works on your hands.. I have really high hopes for this fight..

It almost August they fight in Sept, Page better and i mean better not be out of shape at that presser.. Saying it right now if he is fat at this point forget about it.. Jones will steam-roll his ass with no trouble.. Page has to be in the best shape since the Liddell rematch to win this.. To even have a chance to win it.. No coming into camp at 250, none of that bull ...
Put down the pizza Rampage..
This was tweeted on July 16:Not very telling where his weight is at the most recent picture I could get.Great seminar @Rampage4real fitness academy #legit #markkennyislegit http://lockerz.com/s/120818853
Also not sure how much to read into this but on his official site this was posted:
CAMP HAS STARTED!
July 15, 2011: posted by admin
Rampage has begun his very long camp to prepare for his toughest match yet, as he challenges Jon Jones for the Light Heavyweight le at UFC 135. Check out the UFC WEBSITE for more details.
http://www.rampage-jackson.com/featu...p-has-started/
HE's starting his camp now that is good. He looks heavy in that pic but not over the top heavy..
Damn Page is fired up at the presser. A great sign for him..
awesome presser so far, lol
All these posters are sick bro.. I'm gonna put em on the front page..
Champ Jon Jones vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (for light-heavyweight le)
Matt Hughes vs. Diego Sanchez
Damacio Page vs. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto
Nate Diaz vs. Takanori Gomi
Aaron Riley vs. Tony Ferguson
Mark Hunt vs. Ben Rothwell
Rob Broughton vs. Travis Browne
Ricardo Romero vs. James Te Huna
Jones comes off to me as smug son of a . I dunno maybe its just me.
He's smug. Young and successful that's what happens..
I love both these guys and i am ting myself in anticipation for this fight..
Awesome presser, would have been a lot better if you could have heard all the questions being asked at the end (give the mics to those asking questions).
Also near the end of the presser, you got a taste of the tension between Bones & Rampage. Surely by September (especially at the Weigh Ins/Staredown) the tension will be at a breaking point.
Probably one of the funniest pressers I've ever watched.
Bones just looked annoyed of Rampage...and I wouldn't blame him lol
It def was an amusing presser.
Man that was some funny LOL. I also am starting to see some tension between Bones and Rampage. Especially on Bones side imho, he's very well spoken but I feel like he really wants to prove himself by beating Page. I feel like Rampage was trolling the out of Bones and that was silently killing him lol. Why does this fight have to be all the way in September?
That's a lot of reach Page is giving up.. Get inside or bust Page..
per UFC Twitter:Just added to the UFC 135 lineup - @TimBoetsch vs. Nick @Promise_RiiNG - presale for @UFCFightClub starts tomorrow at 10 am MT
Page trolled that man
