look at the hair cut of bisping ... it s like a good student boy , loser and geek .
21 people on lowkick.com have that haircut
Rashad Evans wins by decision
and i really dont like my prediction, hope rampage gets it.
Thats my "LowPick" signed and sealed.
Rampage looks huge here and possible in the best shape of his life...i feel sorry for Rashad. Hope Rampage puts a badass slam on him
rashad got similar takedowns to gsp. He's gonna take rampage down, and grind it out.
I mean what can rampage do to stop it? He has a wrestling base, but that doesn't mean he can stuff all of rashads attempts. Especially since the dude trains with gsp.
I agree completely..not to mention Rashads knock out ability is undeniable. I think he wins because hes a more rounded fighter and his speed.
remember the hendo fight? nd i think hendo has superior wrestling to rashad
we'll have to see. But if i had to put money on it, i wud say hendo is a better overall wrestler, but rashad has the better takedowns (for mma).
Well Rampage came from Wrestling and I can't think of a fight where Rampage was takendown and grinded.Of course it could happen but I am not so sure.
Dude Kevin Randleman was 2 time wrestling champ, and he couldn't take Rampage down, Rampage took him down once. You guys underestimate Rampage's wrestling, I mean he's probably got the most natural strength in that division, and hes fought many jiujitu black belts in pride, and hes gotten submissions pretty easy. No way Rampage loses.
I agree completely, I think Rampage has crazy good genetics and has gotten by on natural ability for a while, a little like BJ. Also to Rollin Rashad aint no GSP and Rampage aint none of GSP's one dimensional oppenents he's on a hole other level.
kevin randleman vs rampage (the fight starts around 8 mins)

as you can see kevin randlemans wrestling is no where similar to rashads. And another thing this was like a billion years ago. Things changed big time.
chk out rashad's last fight. You can see his takedown skills are alot different than randlemans and more similar to gsps. (probably because gsp and rashad train together)
but hey i still might be wrong. I don't know how good rampages takedown defense is, so we'll just have to see.
Hahaha yea right! Go Rampage! Represent baby!
Yea great counter-point!
Who that ugly mutha facka at the very end?
you spelled "dat" wrong
Rampage's gonna punch Rashad's head into the ground
i like to see Rampage KO Evans
I wanna see rampage slam rashad ass. The only thing I am worried about is if he doesn't stop pounding on rashad once the referee tells him to...
i think rashad will win dont get me wrong i seriously like both but rashad has only one loss against machida, and is faster and more well rounded,
Rashad ran out of comebacks so now he has to bring in race. You're both black!
People dont seem to understand the definition or what was actually implied by the comments. Basically, lets put it in simple terms.... What Rashad was trying to say is kinda like the way the two appeared in the video.... You see how Rashad was dressed nicely in a suit and Rampage had the stereo-typical outfit with the big gold chain? Rashad is saying that Rampage shouldnt live up to that stereo type by the way he portrays himself.... So even tho it has to do with race, to say "Youre both black," which Rampage said as well, doesnt make sense. If that was coming from a white person than that would be inappropriate. The whole point of Rashad saying that is the fact that they are both black and from one black man to another Rashad feels he makes their race look bad..... So of course theyre both black, it wouldnt make sense if one of them were white....
I am only explaining tho everybody, so dont shoot the messenger!!
Bisping is trying to change his image now and try and make the Britt image better. I hope he can but something makes me think he will go back to his old ways after a win or two.
I'm hoping for a devastating knockout in this one. I want Rampage to end this one in Henderson/Bisping fashion. Yes, the punctuating flying punch on the KO victim at the end included.
Cant wait to see Rashad sleep again...
Primetime shows us very different training styles for rashad and rampage...this video sums up the difference very nicely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXDe7jqeAEE
