‘Rampage’ Jackson growing weary of mixed martial arts

How the hell is Rampage minus 260 against Bader?!!!

Since this guy hasn't gotten a knockout win since 2008, maybe it's time to re-think the gameplan.

still if the wreslter beats your #$%$ its still an #$%$ beating

Dear Rampage: You're getting tired of MMA? Try working a regular 9-5 like the rest of us for a year. You'll be screaming to get back into MMA!

The lay and pray that goes on is kinda boring, but it's part of the game, heck people love Shields and that guy humps an opponent to sleep.

If Bader hadn't choked against Tito I might have picked him to win this fight. Rampage is getting old and he doesn't sound motivated or focused at all. All the signs point to Rampage being on the decline in this sport. He hasn't looked all that impressive since the Wanderlei fight over 3 years ago. Rampage couldn't finish Jardine or Hamill who he should have demolished. He #$%$ near lost against Machida and then you have the losses to Jones and Evans. He's only 4-3 in his last seven and could easily be 3-4. I just have trouble picking Bader to win because of that Tito fight. If Bader can get dropped by Tito, he certainly can get dropped by Rampage. I won't be putting money on either of these guys. Neither inspire confidence.

While the "A-Team" could never measure up in my book because I saw each and every episode of the original as it aired in the 80's--I do think Rampage could find a very nice niche in the acting world. He has the look, the personality, and hopefully the self-respect not to become a druggie freak. Jackson has style and personality. I didn't care of his nearly killing people in OC after losing to Griffin. (By the way, his losing to a guy like Gumpy told me back then that he was not 100% into the MMA game. Luckily I did not bet on that fight, but I would have laid down huge on Jackson to murder Gumpy.) At any rate, Jackson's future should be wide open. If he leaves MMA due to a lack of passion, I'll be very disappointed but will understand. I'll just hope to catch him on his next enterprise.

Im not tired of wrestling, im tired of wrestlers that cant use their skills to finish a fight, sure they can get takedowns but whats a takedown without follow up ( ground & pound or a submission ) It gets stupid to watch a guy just dry hump his opponent for 3 or 5 rounds (Jon Fitch)

Rampage ought to do like Brock is going to do again eventually. Go over to the WWE and give it a shot. He has the acting skills and the athletic ability, and he'd make a perfect "bad guy". Just don't know if he could keep up the pace of those guys or not. Their matches may be fake but they still have to stay in incredible shape to do as many shows as they do every year.

I kinda agree with Rampage, MMA is about any type of Martial art, but has moved towards wrestling way too much. there is an olympic medal for that, not in the cage

I'm bored with the take downs too.

just switch to boxing already. quit crying that mma people wrestle and kick. if you want only boxing, go box. i used to like you but now i can tell you are an idiot.

Yes the ground game is like a chess match and just about as boring to watch. Yes if Johnson just pivots his hips another 3 degrees he can pull on Thompson's left ear, then swing around and poke him in the eye, jab him in the nuts & that should give him the points he needs to win this round.

maybe the should put him against butter bean, thats what i think he wants!!!!!

this post is for the former pro wrestling fans turned mma guru's.......here's an nfl themed analogy,,,,,defense wins championships,,,,i personally find watching a 3 downs and a punt to conclude an offense's attempt to score points in an nfl contest to be boring,,,,i enjoy the 'high fly' action of a 29-28 points affairs,,,,long runs by a running back/qb,,,wr's making a catch and run for big gains...special team's making big plays,ect.....mma offers these types of 'play makers',,,stand-up, swing for the fences affairs, are fun to watch,,,,,but here's what makes wrestling so superior to other disciplines,,,we look for just the slightest positional advantage,,,once thats accomplished we look for a better postion,,,from there were looking for a good position,,,i am not done yet,,,,from that good/superior positional avantage,,, i am looking for the dominating position,,,to end the fight....it may not be as exciting as a roc em soc em contest,,,,but wrestling wins championships,,,,,,

Rampage.... If I was to get into the cage with you as an MMA Fighter (lol, I could never be that good), but IF I was in the cage with you; you can bet every dollar that you have every made that I would low kick, shoot for take downs, throw up submissions of all types, & stay out out of range of your power punches. It's entirely possible that guys that sign to fight you, dont want to stand and bang with you unless they want to try and prove that they can (or can't). Bad idea!!! ( ask Liddell, and Wandy).

So Rampage is tired of fighting wrestlers? I say win or lose give him the Shogun fight. That oughta cure the only fighting wrestlers bug.

If Rampage get's beat again,it could be the end of the UFC road for this once great knockout artist.

Well watching guys rolling on the ground for 3-5 rounds do get a bit boring after a while.I want to see knockouts. What sucks more than paying $50 for a big time championship fight that ends up on the ground for 5 rounds.You dont ever see the top 50 UFC wrestling matches of all time do you. If this is gonna be the norm people is gonna get turn off and theyll be afraid to pay for pay per veiw in the future.

Try K-1 World Max tournament.
