“batman on July 29th, 2008 11:14 pm I think it’s funny how rampage can treat life like it’s bumper cars and all dana white cares about is his next dream match. When Jesse Taylor breaks a window Dana White freaks out and fires him on the grounds that it was unacceptable for the company. Ok then what about Rampage shouldn’t Dana white fire him.”

You do have to admit that there is a big difference between having a breakdown and being a drunken douche bag. Not saying what Rampage did was right, but who knows what he would have done if he had gotten fired. Besides, Taylor got his second shot and got whooped.

If he fights anything like how he’s been fighting in the UFC, he WILL beat Wanderlei. Silva doesn’t seem to be as sharp as he was in his pride days. On the other hand, Rampage seems to have improved greatly. I just don’t want Rampage to be pushed into any corners. If Juanito screwed him over then he could go to hell. If not, he’s ok. I just want to hear more on his road to recovery, and why he would split with the people he valued so greatly.

Everyone is dying to see Rampage whoop ass, but his needs come first.

Rampage needs to go back to Colin Oyama. The reason they split originally was that Rampage pulled a “religious experience” and didn’t eat before a fight. As many people have mentioned, Colin ripped him a new one in the ring during his lackluster performance. Now people should understand why Colin was so harsh on him. Colin is a tough but fair coach, but at this point that is what Rampage needs.

Juanito was too involved in all of Rampage’s affairs (financially) and I would guess that is what caused the riff.

Ultmma, so fighting Wanderlei is hard, but a rematch with Liddell would be easy? How so?

Any way you cut it, to put Rampage against a chump is playing the same kind of game as EliteXC is playing with Kimbo Slice. Further, it would be a slap in Rampage’s face to treat him like he is a newbie.

You have to give Dana White some credit, he isn’t playing nice with any of his fighters, he puts them against real competition. Anything less and people will call “Foul!!”.

I wish Quinton the best and I hope for a quick recovery from what he has gone through. I can not wait to see Rampage back in the cage when he is ready. November may or may not be too soon. Only Quinton can decide that but when he does return I look forward to seeing him back in top form to get his title back from Griffin.

Everytime a fight doesn’t go a particular way, everyone winds up shouting that a fix is at hand. I can’t even count how many people were crying about a fix in the Forrest vs. Rampage fight. The bottom line is the guy is human, he can be beat (and I think Silva, Rua, and Griffin will testify to this as well). Back to the subject at hand, I wonder what made him split Juanito. It seems everytime he gets his ass kicked he drops all his management (Remember how he dropped everyone and picked up Juanito after Rua defeated him?). He seemed to take the loss with integrity in the post-fight interview with Griffin but it seems that was just a veil. Anyways, Rampage is too goddamn stubborn he will lose the same exact way did before, TWICE. Let’s just hope we see the Wanderlei that knocked Jardine into another reality. Muay Thai clinch all day. Peace guys.

Hey rampage

you just had a complete mental breakdown and part ways with your head trainer…..yeah now sounds like a great time to jump back in the ring with Wandy???

are you freaking kidding , can the guy get a warm up fight? or at least put off the bout to early 2009

This like Mir getting in a motor cycle accident and his first fight back is against Fedor lol

Dude Wandy is hungry do not feed Rampage to him

give Rampage Chuck when he comes back and watch him beat the iceman for the 3rd straight time lol
