OOPS. honest mistake Joel
I still feel that Liddel vs Rampage “3″ would be more marketable than rampage vs Wandi 3 since they are both coming off losses both former ufc champ etc. Rampage has improved greatly sine coming to the ufc
but I think Wandi is back and the fight would go his way again.

This would be a great fight. As we all know Rampage is not the same Rampage he was in pride. His striking has looked much more sharp then it did in the past. He also looks like he is in better shape and is more serious about fighting. I think Wand would have hid hands full this time I dont see Rampage falling into the clinch or brawling woth him like Jardine did which is the wrong way to fight Wand.Regardless of the past it would be an awesome fight and great for both fighters and the UFC!!

I don’t care. I want to see this fight.

I think Rampage will run over Wanderlei. <– see what I did there? Because he hit people with his truck. Get it? *elbow nudge.

Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.

ok,
just because Wandy already won BOTH fights.. doesn’t mean this isn’t a good matchup..
First of all,
we all know Rampage is wayyyy better since his move to the UFC.. his striking is good enough to hang in there with Wandy’s now.. and although i haven’t seen it in a while, i can only imagine how much better his wrestling is..
Second of all,
Put the trilogy aside.. If Rampage wins, it won’t do much for the TRILOGY because he’d still be down 2 to 1… Same for Wandy.. If he wins, it does nothing for the Trilogy, because he had ALREADY won the trilogy in PRIDE..

What i’m trying to say is, don’t look at this as a trilogy.. look at it as a GREAT matchup.. a matchup that will probably fight for the 2009 FOTY spot.. a matchup that gets either Rampage, or Wandy closer to a title shot..
that’s what’s important in this fight..
it’s exciting, and it’s simply two of the top dogs in the LHW division fighting for their shot at a title..

and when you think about it, that’s what Nog/Herring III was..
first and foremost, it’s an exciting matchup [at least, it was supposed to be] and it’s a match to decide title contenders.. I, personally, see the whole trilogy thing as just being a little bit of icing on an already beastly cake..

I agree with you HexRei as long as Rampage can get his head in the right place with all that is going on.

What I dont like is that if Jackson loses it will set him back years in getting back a title shot. When think he deserves one now

would be a great fight card if its true.

i think Rampage would finally beat Wandy.

Jimbo,

Liddell and Rampage 2 has already happened in case you didnt know.
