UFC 130 Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Thiago Silva

[$migg Cant Rap]

Vera did egg him on when he leg swept him early in the round and then proceeded to celebrate like he won the damn fight.

lmao i forgot all about that. that shit was hilarious. it wasnt exactly the same type of mean-spirited douche taunting that silva was doing, but i can see why it would piss him off. we shouldnt even be having this discussion though, because vera should have been cut several fights ago.

EDIT: he has been cut since the fight, for those who didnt know. personally i really hope SF doesnt pick him up. wouldnt mind seeing him in dream though.

which brings me to another point-- convincingly beating a brandon vera doesnt translate into have success over a rampage jackson, even when he's on his decline. i'm not saying he cant beat page, i'm just saying that beating vera is no true indicator of whats to come.

i thought rampage looked great against machida

IMO if it was scored with the japanese 10-5 round method, machida won. looking @ the whole fight overall, barely anything happened in the 1st 2 rounds. in the 3rd round, machida dominated. he did the most damage in the fight, even if it came late. he's a very slow starter.

 

[T-Rip]

Machida lost the first 2 rounds and its noones fault but his own. He fought like a bitch and a lot of people called the fight boring cuz of it.

But you gotta give Rampage credit for that to because Shogun was the only guy to ever take a round from Machida before that, and people just thought that it was Muai Thai was his karate's weakness.. But Rampage came in with a style that machida should have exploited and took the first two rds.

Maybe Machida forgot it was a 3 rd fight?

rampage pressured him and didnt make many mistakes , that's what machida does is stay out side and wait for his opponent to fuck up

^ that plus he was really timid, I'm guessing because of getting KO'd for the first time in his life.

 

[DAT NIGGA TAZZ]

LOL. GSP middleweight? anderson smith?

YEA IMO GSP WOULD OWN MIDDLEWEIGHT TOO, HATE TO SAY IT...

AND SILVA IS ROUGHLY TRANSLATED TO SMITH=(PORTUGESE) THATS Y ITS SO MANY BRAZZALIANS LAST NAME SILVA, LIKE HELLA AMERICANS LAST NAMED SMITH


BUT REALLY THO. RAMPAGE IS GONNA SMASH ON THIGO SILVA

 

[Chuy Savedra]

GSP would get DOMINATED by the likes of Sonnen, Okami, Marquardt etc. etc. He'd put up a fight against less tier opponents, but no way would he be kingpin @ 185. & Rampage MIGHT beat Silva, but he's not gonna "smash" him by any means. I wouldn't be surprised if Silva uses a similar gameplan like he did with Vera, hell even if he ko's Rampage I wouldn't be surprised. Quinton's last two performances have been less than stellar. Safe to say he's lost a step as a fighter.

i dont necessarily think that's true.

MAIN CARD

* Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (for lightweight title)
* Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Thiago Silva
* Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann
* Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson
* Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Travis Browne vs. Stefan Struve

 

[B-Buzz]

they must've offered Wand a nice off the table bonus, cuz he did not want to face Stann the Mann at all. And wasn't ducking him, he's just so fucking cool that he doesn't want to beat a war hero.

 

[MOREBASS]

Wand Tweeted that he had to much respect for him to fight him.

 

[Pansas]

Frankie v Maynard III added to the card, yeeeee! I really hope Rampage beats the fuck out of Thiago Silva. I can't stand him

 

[WXS STOMP3R]

Nelson beat Mir in a jiu jitsu match before I believe.. Plus, he has better standup..

I NEED TO SEE THE LINES ON THIS FIGHT...IF NELSON IS ON THE UNDER...IM A DROP SOME FUNDS ON HIM...AFTER HIS LAST SHOWING AGAINST JUNIOR DOS SANTOS (DUDE GOTS A GOOD CHIN) AND KNOWING HE GOTS THE BETTER HANDS AND JITS...THIS IS A FIGHT, QUITE POSSIBLY PAYING OUT A HEFTY RETURN... CAUSE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE STILL AINT CONVINCED BIG COUNTRY'S THE REAL DEAL, WHEN HE'S BIG TIME UNDER RATED.

 

[$migg Cant Rap]

big country is hella underrated.

i dont really care for a edgar/maynard 3. especially since i feel like nate beat maynard in the 1st place. poor decision.

 

[EVERgREENRIDER]

mir might not dont got it anymore.
