I'm disappointed in Rampage...

He said all along how badly he wanted to fight in Tokyo, practically begging for Dana to put him on the card...

He gets his wish and by all accounts, has a TERRIBLE camp. I know he blames not making weight on an injury during training, but I don't buy it...

I don't think he's thrilled with fighting Ryan Bader.

I hope he took Bader seriously, because this is a fight Rampage should win impressively. Bader is very good and dangerous though. I know Rampage wanted Shogun in Japan but he shoulg just be happy he's on the card. Hopefully he is telling the truth and really was injured, still think he should have made weight though.

In Danas' vlog it shows Dana talking to Rampage and Dana asks him "how's your weight?" and Rampage laughs at him and say "you don't want to know"

Sounds like he knew there was a chance he'd miss weight

Rampage gets PPV % as well, not sure if they can deduct from that or not.

It was close but no doubt Kongo was floored

Oh yea no doubt... Hunt would have likely KO'd Kongo from the position anyway, just thought it was a bit premature... At least give Kongo more than 2 seconds to try and get up or defend.

Rampage going for KO of the night to make up for that penalty for missing weight lol.. Had some good hooks to end that round.

Baders' arm looked like it was about to snap on that slam.

Terrible performance by Rampage. After he slammed and rocked Bader a couple of times, he was dominated the rest of the way.

Rampage just doesn't have it anymore. Came into the fight overweight and uninspired...
