Rampage still has some of the best tdd in MMA. He had two bad knees in the Bader fight and could barely put any weight on them. He had to have surgery on BOTH knees after the fight. He'd kill Chael. That's like saying a guy with two broken hands during a fight striking has gone to shyt because he wasn't throwing.

as a page fan, he is fuking done

i think he has one fight left on his deal, he needs to retire

 

[Strapped]

I want to see sonnen against machida,so he can get destroyed

 

[The Infamous]

If that shyt happens im gonna really start to think this shyt is turning into WWE. Chael in no way shape or form deserves a shot this year. I'd rather see Gustafsson get a title shot, but 205 is so that i can see it happenining

Gus is def. getting the next shot at Jones with a win over Shogun. If Glover beats Rampage convincingly, he should be one fight away from a title shot.

Sonnen needs at least 2-3 solid wins before fighting for the title.

sonnen's instant rematch for looking good losin or hardy and swick being lined up for a number one contender match just cuz didnt show u that already?

His wins over Stann and Bisping didn't happen?

Sonnen should go against rampage since rampage said he would beat the brakes of off him I believe in an interview... Well I know he doesn't like him for sure. Trash talking would do UFC numbers too

Rampage and the UFC have said that the Glover fight will be his last in the organization.

Dana pretty much said in the interview i posted earlier that the Jones/Sonnen fight will happen- so the Griffiths/Sonnen match for a title shot makes sense....lets hope that Griffiths pulls off the win, then we will see how Baldilocks gets his golden boy to fight Jones

They're not giving Sonnen the title shot for beating Griffin [at least, I hope not]. Gus, Machida and Glover [with a win over Rampage] are ahead of him in the LHW title picture.

that match would be boring as hell, rampage TDD has one to shyt and wrestlers molest him with relative ease.His fight with bader was inexcusablecant tell if u are serious but jones strikes me as a neck roller.I can see how hed be adamant about not granting sonnen a title for doing nothing (just on principle)

Rampage still has great TDD. Rashad and Jones, two of the best wrestlers in the division had some trouble taking him down. His TDD looked bad in the Bader fight because of injury. There isn't 5 fighters in the division with better TDD.

I agree all the way that he's done due to his drive and desire to fight/train. He still has great TDD and would kill Chael. I stand by that. He'd have some trouble with a few other guys but Chael is one of the easiest fights for him a LHW.

He doesn't have the will to train anymore so it's a wrap. His skills are still there fir the most part. He's just not willing to properly train or go to a new camp.

In this thread I posted the video of Rampage and King Mo squashing their beef. He says he wants to try other sports like Boxing or Mauy Thai

I do think he will be back in the UFC, like Shonuf said I think he as lost his motivation and is frustrated. Some time out and a different perspective, he will be back

I put nothing past Dana


Um....you forgot to add Hendo to that list and Bader is no slouch either

My list consisted of recent examples.

Bader's wrestling is just good, not great. You're right tho, he is no slouch.

excuses excuses, dude had a half zombie with a weak chin standing in front of him for 3 rounds and he almost lost (sans a last minute flurry) griffin got him down and felt him up a little and he aint even got a rasslin base.Putting stock in rampage and expecting him to deliver is fools game

You kind of hurt your argument by bringing up the bisbing fight

Rampage still has great TDD. Rashad and Jones, two of the best wrestlers in the division had some trouble taking him down. His TDD looked bad in the Bader fight because of injury. There isn't 5 fighters in the division with better TDD.

If you want to buy that injury fair enough but when I look in rampage's eyes I see a dude thats checked out and is just looking for a payday.He was never dedicated or concerned with working on his flaws.He just rested on brute strength and athleticism.Well hes older now, only works on boxing.And surrounds himself with yes men, its not a stretch of the imagination to assume hes TDD has regressed.Sonnen would probably have a tough time like all the others then once he got him down eventually rampage would just wilt

Jason "Mayhem" Miller has been charged with vandalism after allegedly breaking into a church, getting buck ass naked, and trashing the place ... this according to the Orange County District Attorney.

According to the charging docs, obtained by TMZ, Mayhem was hit with one misdemeanor count of vandalism -- and if convicted, he faces up to a year in jail.

In the criminal complaint, the D.A. claims Miller "did maliciously and unlawfully deface with graffiti and other inscribed material, damage, and destroy church property ... in the amount of $400 and more."

TMZ broke the story ... Mayhem was arrested last month inside the*Mission Hills Church in Mission Viejo. Cops say Mayhem was totally naked, reclining on a couch, when they found him.

Cops also claim Mayhem trashed the place, scattering books, photos, and breaking CDs. He also allegedly unleashed a fire extinguisher all over the place.

Mayhem is due in court November 21st.

Calls to Mayhem's reps were not returned
