The mystique of the first few seasons is gone. Now, it's basically watch the idiots wreck the house and cry when they lose. There's very little for the audience to connect to. The first season was fresh because somehow the viewer actually CONNECTED to the fighters. TUF has really devolved. The mystique of the first few seasons is gone.

Dana White has big plans for him...but I'm not sure if making him a coach on TUF would really be that great. This past season has just been boring if you ask me. I think they need to get Rampage more active and do more promotions with him. Rampage is a great canidate for marketing.

Thank you. I want more people searching/demanding Rampage, because this guy should be out doing mainstream promotion 3 days a week if his hand is still injured. Even if it's not, he doesn't have a fight. Get him out there generating interest (and self promoting in the long run). I asked the same question in a column at MMAOpinion a few weeks back. Thank you.

That's about the most direct answer the question I can provide. Well, last night Rampage was at Legends in Hollywood training with Chris Reilly.

IMO...the following needs to happen. Forrest Griffin Vs. Keith Jardine 2...because Jardine KO'ed Griffin...Griffin subbed Shogun...then Jardine beat Liddell who is the former champ...the winner of that fight is the #1 contender... Have Rampage fight the winner of that fight in March...then if he wins let him be a coach on TUF against the winner of Wandy/Liddell...then that sets up his next fight(whom will be Wandy hopefully).

Could it be because he makes fun of mentally handicapped people? Or because he might get on his knees and hump a Japanese lady? Or because he continuously refers to himself as the "the ni**er UFC champ"? “it’s kind of strange how little of a promotional push he’s received from the UFC.”

He's pretty good on camera. Rampage and Griffin would make a good fight. But agree with ttt, he needs to fight again soon especially with all the LHW waiting for a shot. I like the Couture vs. Rampage rumor better, tho. Rampage would make a good tuf coach. He’s pretty good on camera. Rampage and Griffin would make a good fight.
