I love the way Rampage talks. Was so excited when I met him in March.

"Quinton should win this one, when I interviewed him, he was the person again who was on my wedding, just love him" -Bas Rutten.

Doesn't bode well for Hamill especially after seeing that first round.

Well if Rampage can keep it standing against Bones Jones he has a chance, not sure he has the tools to beat him though, should be interesting.

I think Rampage would win between those two ONLY if Jones leaves his chin open when he goes for something flashy (Spinning back kick, spinning back elbow, over hand right)

Rampage certainly has a punchers chance but I think he's too mechanical in his movements and lumbers a lot, he did show great take down defense tonight but Jones is a whole other animal.

Couple things:

1. Struve got knocked the fuck out! Superman punch worked finally!
2. I'm glad Mir won. I just can't stand Big Country. That dude is tough though. If he was in better shape he would be a beast.
3. Rampage looked phenomenal. Totally outclassed Hamill.

"Big Country" proved he's a brawler. Boy, does that guy have a chin [and a gut].

"Rampage" looked like a top 3 lightheavyweight. I was THOROUGHLY impressed with his fight; especially if he had a broken hand.

Was happy to see Struve fall like the tree he is.

Rampage looked good, I wasn't surprised by his standup looking good against Hammil as Hammil's standup has always sucked. I was surprised by how good his TD defense was. If his TD defense was that good against Rashad he pummels Rashad.

Mir tore Big Country up, but that doesn't surprise me either.

I'm pumped for GSP/Diaz!

Junkie reporter said Rampage didn't look that good Saturday. He must not have been watching the same fight as everyone else.

Rampage looked excellent. Anyone that says otherwise is blind.

GSP/Diaz should be sweet and I'm getting more pumped for the July and August fights. Fedor/Hendo looks interesting and UFC Rio should be a good one especially since I'm a big fan of Forrest.
