Ft.Dub is getting first class seats in the front row to see third rate fighters go to boring decisions! Be more optimistic man. Hermes Franca and Tyson Griffin might fight! Lol

Can we get a decent f-ing headline fight for UFC 103 in Dallas? I’m so excited they’re finally coming to DFW, but it seems like they’re stacking the card with third rate fighters.

Damn this fight is a long way off that’s for sure.If Machida gets by Shogun he won’t be fighting the winner of this fight until at least late spring next year and maybe even summer.

It will be a tense affair, both prefer counter-boxing. The grappling is tight and so is the stand up. I’d give a slight, very slight, edge to Jackson in both. And this is definitely going to a decision.

very hard to say. rashad is not a former olympian like henderson but neither is rampage. rampage has been getting more technical in boxing lately though his biggest error was eating those leg kicks from griffin. also technical boxing doesn’t mix that well with his old more powerful style. it could be really good or really boring.

That’s true. I forgot about that. He injured his jaw before the Silva fight.

I would also add that jackson has just had surgey on his jaw recently. Im sure that was a factor in the jardine fight. I think the fight will go the distance.

I would disagree that Rashad has better footwork. He might have faster hands, but Rampage’s technical boxing skills are superior than Rashad’s. I think Rampage was burned out in the Jardine fight and underestimated him.

Rampage didn’t look the same in the Jardine fight so I don’t know if its the training camp or the fact that he over trained for the fight. You have to remember that Rampage outwrestled Henderson so I don’t think that will be an issue against Rashad. Its going to turn out into a boxing match, and Rashad has faster hands and better footing. I will however be rooting for Rampage.
