Is this interview recent? or does rashad not know that rampage has already fought and beat matt hamil?
2 min interview really?
But we can get 20 minutes of Sonnen making fun of another country/culture.
Hey, here's an idea! Why don't you both quit crying and stop coming online to watch fighter interviews if you no longer enjoy them!
Hey, here's an idea! Why don't you both quit crying and stop coming online to *scroll down and look at people's comments* if you no longer enjoy them!
You're right, I would much rather listen to Rashad then Chael. Atleast with Rashad he's not all over the board. Oh, and Rashad doesn't interupt the interview with an over abundance of "hold on, let me stop you there"...
Yes, a small complaint about how we can hear Sonnen jab jab jab for an hour but Rashad talk about his title shot hopefuls for 2 min is really 'crying'. I suppose I shouldn't share my thoughts on a web site that is all about MMA and is meant for people to voice their opinions. You are right.
I started to like Evans more now especially after that whole incident with Jones...him vs Davis should be a good fight, I'm going with Davis in that one tho
He kind of looks like Roy Jones.
All he said was 2 min interview. Then every one weaks him.
lol and all you said was that and everyone weaks you. A lot of tards have joined this site in the past year.
Rashad's looking rough and stressed out.
I think the reason he looks rough and stressed is he has been traveling around to too many different camps trying to get in the best training he can. he did state after he left jacksons, that he was going to go all over the place for his camp, instead of sticking in one area. hopefully it'll be a good thing and he will get the best of all worlds. and not get too worn out and distracted and waste time and rest with the travel.
I think that Davis has the wrestling and size that would benefit him naturally the most but his striking isn't close to Jones', Jones would take his face off in 2.1 seconds via flying deathblow. Rampage has the best boxing out of the three of the aforementioned names but he's kind of stumpy armed and his punches have slowed over the years, I don't think that he would be able to land much on Jones and Jones is going to TKO him in the second.
And my comment on Hashad is only this: I understand why he never wanted to fight Jones, friendship schmendship, he never stood a goat's chance in India.
I think all three will be destroyed by Jones at one point or another, Bones is the real deal and his reign of terror begins UFC 135.
It seems like Jones doesn't want to fight Evans more than Evans doesnt want to fight Jones seeing that Jones said he was injured n when Evans got a new opponent all of a sudden Jones was fine n ready to fight
