You should not get points for takedowns. You should not get points for sub offense OR defense. Damage, and who is controlling who in what position. Is a wrestler in a BJJ blackbelt’s guard REALLY an advantage? Do you get points for pulling guard? lol. If i was a blackbelt BJJ, i’d LET him take me down.
i like Rampage and Rashad but i think Rampage is gonna knock him out cold, if Silva nearly knocked out Rashad then Rampage is gonna put Rashad in a coma
Against Rampage,Sugar Rashad is quicker,more versatile,the superior striking,subgame and wrestling technician and has superior intellect.Rashad also has the superior work ethic and a superior training camp. Rampage is the bigger and stronger man with heavier punches,but that’s pretty much it. Rashad by decision in a tactical but exciting fight,featuring a mobile kickboxing Rashad taking Rampage down a few timez
@HelloHater – cavemen? I have never heard someone who knows what they are talking about calling guys like the Gracies and Bas Rutten etc “Cavemen”. Anyway why all the hate and rudeness in cyberspace these days?
back in the day it was cave men fighting for glory, not honor u genius. Back in the OLD ufc it was purely for fighting and putting to men in a cage & fight.
But nowa a days UFC/MMA is for the true fighters and pure martial artists like Lyoto Machida. STfu & never speak ur irrelevant opinion
u talkin all dat shit about rashad gonna beat rampage your full of shit do u ppl dont relize how strong rampage iz hez 1 of the strongest ppl in ufc are u ppl serious u think mashida iz strongere den ramppage or thigo silva shit rashad almost got ko’d frum silva rampage iz gonna ko rashad i bet my life on dat
Rampage would get beat by Rashad because Rampage is to slow. Of course, this is MMA and everything is possible but I just think that Rashad is in a zone.
@Hackmoune – The UFC fightes nowadays are totally different breed to the UFC fighters of the past due to the money involved and the rules of the UFC. Martial artists used to step into the cage in order to prove their worth, to represent their fighting style and to show pride and honor. Nowadays some guys are just out there for the win via exploitation the UFC rules. Causing some fights to be full of take-downs or just become staring matches because guys knows they are in front on points.

@Importman2008 But if I’m not mistaken if you stop the take down attempts defensively, those score points for ya too.

in comparison to a Modern MM fighter, yes they are cavemen. They have prehistoric skills which would be dominated by the best fighters of this Era.
Bas rutten was a heavyweight, do u think he would stand a chance agaisnt Brock lesnar, Cain V, Randy couture, Shane Carwin or Gonzaga?
& the Gracies? com’ooon, be fair & stop huggin the nutts of the past, a modern day MMA fighter would Smash them

Rashad has no idea what he’s getting himself into, if Rampage does not knock him out, by either KO or TKO, i will be shocked.
