I hope the fight plays out similar to Machida/Shogun 1 which imo was the best technical striking fight in MMA(that I have seen).

I don't see the Machida/Bones fight being the same as the Rampage fight. I'm not saying Machida will win but it won't go down the same way.

Teeps aren't the same as what he did against Couture. Different kicks. Yes, he's thrown teeps before.

Yeah I understand what you're saying, but that kick does add to the element of surprise. He knocked out Rich Franklin with a front kick followed by a left hand just as an example.

Not exactly MMA but is anyone else a gigantic Ramon Dekkers fan?

Bad intentions behind every punch and kick.

Yes. It was like watching an exhibition when an major league teams plays a team from the minors. Jackson had nothing for him. Not only that, he never even let his hands go because he was too dumbfounded on what to do.

Dekkers hits to kill. He is punching THROUGH guys faces. The punch at 1:48 spins the guy around like on "Punch Out". Then a few seconds later he kicks a guy in the LEG and he goes down.

I've watched a lot of Dekkers, too bad he was just 1/2 a generation away. Give that guy some TD defense and he runs the UFC LW division.

He had 1 MMA rules fight ever and didn't know he was fighting under MMA rules until just before the fight, he lost by heel hook.

He won his 2nd to last kickboxing fight with a torn ligament in his shoulder, he could only punch with 1 arm. That was in 2005 and he was about 36 at the time. He could not throw a punch with his right arm, and knocked Duane Ludwig down a few times with only his left.

One of the best kickboxers/Thai boxers of all time.

Going to have to grab a link for tonight. Just don't consider it a buy. I may be wrong but not worth 45 to me to find out.
