Tonight they fight. The rivalry was made far worse on the Ultimate fighter and few matches are as anticipated as this one. I think Rashad will take him out and I don't think it will go to decision. Jackson is to slow and will be easy prey to be picked apart.

I have wondered the same thing. You can always tell by how they are in the post fight interview. I think it is genuine though. They just have that vibe.Originally Posted by Hassun
I think due to their history Rampage will want and try to draw Rashad into a straight up fist fight much like Don Frye vs Takayama back in Pride, but I have faith that Rashad will be able to keep his cool and emerge victorious from one of many probable mistakes Rampage will make.

Well I don't know if it was ring rust or just apprehension but Jackson didn't nearly try hard enough to get anything done.
I agree with you assessment hassun. I mean Jackson didn't even win one round. That surprised even me.
But Mike Russow! Hahaah, Duffee struck himself out in that one. Not enough stamina to make a body like that work that long. And then POW.
Rashad has both power and speed, Rampage is all bulk no speed. Rashad did the right thing in the fight by chopping Rampage down.
I was also surprised with Rampage's performance he got murdered with only a few highlights.
