I want to see a rematch with Rampage. I doubt Jackson gets through Jones, but that'd be sweet if he did, easily my favorite fighter.

Yeah, I'm not sure how Rampage/Bones is going to go. I'd like to see Rampage win because he is one of my favorite fighters also but Bones is a beast.

I dont wanna see an Evans Rampage rematch. Evans is terrified of Rampages power and all he did was lay on him the entire fight. Typical Jackson fighter, fucking pathetic

Yeah, Rampage and Rashad I was a horrible fight. I remember being so pumped for it and then being so disappointed.

I want to see it for Rampage to get revenge. Rampage KOing Rashad would be amazing. Jones might be one of the only fighters I like less than Evans.

He just rubs me the wrong way. I know a lot of fighters are cocky, but the way he carries himself just gets on my nerves. Tito is cocky as hell but he's funny and usually hyping a fight. Jones just comes across as entitled.

Agreed, Jones is arrogant and needs and ass whooping to bring him down to earth, I like him as a fighter but I don't like his fake persona.

I agree but those are dangerous, right where the spinal column meets the skull. That's the second time Vitor has done that, did the same thing against Rich Franklin.
I agree 100%

I thought overall the card wasnt very exciting and might have been the shortest card in a long time. Dana White went out of his way to praise Tito after the fight. The coolest thing of the night was in the first prefight on spike when Fabers training partner did the flip in the last seconds of the fight. Also what was up with hallmans speedos.
Rory is a very young guy, only 21 or 22 (can't remember)? You maybe right but at that young age, someone working out and sweating all the time it wouldn't surprise me to see some back acne.

Don't forget UFC on VS 5 this coming Sun 8/14, it IMO is a great free card:
MAIN CARD (Versus)
Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle
Ben Henderson vs. Jim Miller
Donald Cerrone vs. Charles Oliveira
Duane Ludwig vs. Amir Sadollah

As stated above Rory is very young and the acne is not just on his back, it’s all over including his face. I would never count out steroids or him taking something though, it’s just too prevalent.
Why does everyone seem to like Rampage over Rashad? Rampage has been the one in trouble with the law, and was extremely lame when he coached on TUF. He is also pretty one dimensional as a fighter which makes me not like him that much. He could be so much better if he evolved.
The free card coming up on Versus should be awesome. I am liking all four of those main card fights.

I like Rampage more than Rashad simply because of his attitude. I like the way he portrays himself as far as what he says and I like to watch him fight. Like I said earlier I used to hate Rashad because I don't generally like showboating but after watching him as the coach on TUF I started to like him. Rashad is the obvious more well rounded fighter but can be boring (see the Rampage fight).

That Cerrone Oliveira fight is an amazing matchup, also local product CB Dollaway is on this card, hell of a free card.

Wow, I didn't expect that from Hamill, I guess his heart wasn't really in it.
Pretty straight forward explanation from Hamill, just too many injuries

Hamill looked really soft in his last fight, easily the worst physically he has looked from what I remember. I guess this makes sense.

Few comments...
Not sure how anyone can say that this was a poor or boring card. 4 of the 5 PPV fights ended in great KO's...you don't get much better than that. It may have shortened, but it was good!
Kind of figured Hamill would retire after that. Maybe he will keep working out and work on his boxing for a year and try to make a comeback...that is the only chance he has of being successful at this point.
For the Rampage/Evans debate. I absolutely love Rampage. Love the humor and his attitude. HATE, HATE, HATE Evans. Their season of Ultimate Fighter is what got me into the UFC and I couldn't stand the trash that Evans talked. Sure Rampage did a lot of trash talk, but it was more humorous and seemed not so nasty. Evans just seemed like a DOUCHE! However, I do agree that he was one of the better coaches on the show.
For the Belfort/Sexiyama fight...absolutely knew that was how it would go. I have NEVER EVER been impressed by Sexiyama...hopefully he will take his talents somewhere else.
Loved the Ebersole BONUS that White gave him...cracked me up!
Finally, the comments on Jones, the negative ones above are the first ones I have ever heard HATING on Jones. Everyone else I have ever talked to LOVE him...including me! I disagree completely what everyone says about his attitude and sense of entitlement. Everything you read about him says he is the most down to earth guy in the UFC. From what I can tell, seems like an upright, Christian man. Oh well, not everyone will like him.
