I just don't see any possible scenario where Rashad wins. He is faster and has really good wrestling....but Rampage has fought BETTER wrestlers than Rashad. He has faced strikers as fast as Rashad....Rashad has never fought anyone with the kind of raw power that Rampage has. The only way Rashad wins is if Rampage goes in this fight not in shape and his mind on his lame ass A-Team movie. I hope Rampage wins. Rua vs. Rampage II would be a dream come true. An in-shape Rampage that has a good training team means the fight would look nothing like the first fight. I am a big Shogun fan but to say Rampage has no shot is just silly....everyone said he had no shot against Wandy for the third time and he proved everyone wrong...then everyone blamed it on Wandy's age and his chin... I'm not saying Rampage doen't have a chance against Shogun this time, last time Rampage didn't look right, and now he is training better and hopefully looks good for this fight but at the pre fight press confrence Rampage looked at little different but IDK what for. IMO I think Shogun will watch out for his power but I think he will keep the pace and use his Muay Thai.

Rampage said he also has no game plan for this fight too. I think his game plan is rip Rashad's head off and throw it back at him i just don't like Rashad...maybe if Rampage knocks him out he will be less cocky and then I'll warm up to him its funny, because everyone else in his camp i really like...Nate being my favorite fighter ever..

I try to not let the personality get in the way of why I like a fighter but as Evans himself would say I strongly dislike that mother ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) er. I normally like Evans as a fighter though.

I used to be a pretty big fan of Rashad...but ever since he beat Chuck and THEN Forrest he really thinks he is the baddest motherf***er on the planet. I completely agree with Rampage when he always asks Rashad "What have you done in this sport?"....he beat two names and has two KO's under his belt and all of a sudden he thinks he has Rampage power. But I'm sure Rashad's attitude has to do with that little weasel he trains with who never shuts his f***ing mouth. Last fight Rashad had the weasel said "Oh the world is going to see a Rashad they have never seen before..no way this goes to decision"...and what happened? Rashad Lay n Prayed his way to a decision win...so I really can't take Rashad or his camp too serious. The only one I like in that camp is Nate Marquardt.

After rewatching some of the Primetime shows, something caught my eye and made me wonder. Rashad trains with Shane Carwin, specifically in wrestling. Now from what the trainers and Rashad say, he can hold his own pretty well against Shane.
Shane's a big man, who I'm sure doesn't go full force with Rashad. But if he does, and Rashad is able to slip out or take control, what does that say about Carwin? I'm not looking to go off topic. Just caught my eye.

I usually go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch it, but I am very short on cash right now. I literally JUST made my car and insurance payment and my apartment rent is due by Sunday. Maybe I'll just go and have a couple beers, because I'm really psyched for this event after seeing the last Primetime episode and the Countdown show.

I usually go to Tail Gaters sports bar and get some awsome pizza and watch but it's to the point I spend $60 on the food because of the drinks. I missed the last Primetime and the countdown show. Where they good?

The Primetime was great, as the it a good summary segment at the end of it. The Countdown was pretty good, as far as highlighting the Little Nog and Bisping fights.

I found some of Rashad's comments interesting. The first one in reference to Rampage acting like he's not intellegent, when he really is very smart. After the first Primetime, where they highlighted Quinton's rise in grades during High School kind of support that he is smarter than he may appear to some. The second comment was about Rampage taking Rashad "lightly" and not really training as hard as he should be. With all due respect, if a pissed off Rampage is telling me that he's training harder than ever, has dropped in weight and made up for it with pure muscle, is now faster, stronger, training with a world class gym, and is more focus than ever.....It's pretty obvious to see Rampage isn't taking Rashad lightly. It's so hard for me to wrap my head around Rampage not really training or having a good team the majority of his career. The idea actually scares me of what Rampage could do given actual training and teaching. He's going to be one bad mother ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) er.

I'll give Rashad all the credit in the world, but if Machida proved anything, it's that Rashad has a weakness when pressed up against the cage, clinch or no clinch. And that is one of Rampage's favorite things.
It was also pretty nice to see Rampage with his kids too. I love how these Primetime events give you a real complete look at the fighters and somewhat humanize them. I never knew where Rampage came from, and everything he's been through.

Finally got around to watch an episode of primetime, and it got me even more excited for this fight than I was before.
To me this fight is almost like a real life Drago/Rocky, Rashad is doing training that involves a lot of science and it seems like Rampage is just doing old school training. I just hope Carl Weathers dosen't get beaten to death.
