‘Rampage’ weight flop costs him; Bader puts him on his back to roll to victory at UFC 144

I just don't think Rampage is interested in ANY type of fighting right now.
He has grow out of it. He isn't a kid anymore and wants to move on. I can't fault him for that, but please make the choice. Don't just half-way do things and insult the sport on your way out.

I think Rampage needs to go do some boxing and get it out of system if he really wants to keep fighting in the UFC. He doesn't seem sharp and interested in it right now.

Always will be a Rampage fan, but I think it's time for him to go.

RAMPAGE WILL BECOME THE NEXT TITO ORTIZ. A guy who just hangs around and loses making him only a good steping stone for young fighters

Rich Franklin was 100% right about Rampage. Rampage hasn't been a threat since he Ko'ed Wanderlei. He barely beat Jardine, lost to Rashad, got a gift decision against Machida, quit against Jon Jones and now collected a paycheck and got a Japanese vacation against Bader. He's done.

dammit I was rooting for Rampage...i think he's done

rampage's heart isn't in it anymore. retirement time.

All of you saying Rampage is too old, he's only 33!! Do you know how many people like Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture, and other fighters would love to be 33?

Rampage just got caught up in his own hype. He started making good money, got famous, started making Hollywood movies. His mouth started cashing checks his body and skills couldn't. Didn't we hear him say how he'd smash Forrest Griffin, Rashad, Jon Jones, now Ryan Bader etc.

I don't know what to say... Most people would kill to only be 33, have his height, reach etc. He should justhang it up now.

Always been a Rampage fan, I mean, he is just fun to watch...or at least used to be. Since entering the UFC he has essentially been a boxer, and considering his great success (overall anyway) when only using one facet of his game, it is both a testament to how good he truly is/was and how much better he could have been had he used everything. Watching Rampage get taken down it was apparent that aside from being gassed that his wrestling skills (something he originally was known to be pretty good at) were simply not there. Rampage, thank you for the memories, but at this point I think you should retire, because if fighting in Japan can't get you motivated to be the more complete fighter you used to be and take training serious, than I don't think anything will...

As much as I like Rampage, I didn't think he was going to win this fight and when he showed up 6 pounds over weight that pretty much sealed the deal for me. He had an exciting first round but Bader's wrestling was just too much in the other two rounds. Though I expected him to lose I was hoping he would prove me wrong.

hate to say it, but i think rampage's career is done.he's slowly turning into B.J. penn, partying all the time and not taking care of his training.Such a disappointment considering he was truly one of the best

Rampage is done

Well, we knew he wasn't motivated despite all that White and Rogain said about pleasing the Japanese crowd. Last week Page was talking about a switch to boxing and about how he hates fighting wrestlers. I think it is movie time of Rampage. And that is not a bad thing. I could see him making an easy transition. More money, gals, fame, less knocks. Don't knock him if he does it.

Called this a year and a half ago. Like so many of our favorite fighters, Rampage is past his prime, and the new generation of athletes is just too quick and well rounded. He is either going to call it quits now or have one last hurrah (two at max) against Rashad (when he loses to Jones), Henderson or Shogun. Then, he's definitely out for good. Personally, I would like to see him kick Tito's #$%$ but I don't think Tito would accept the fight. Sorry to see you go Quinton! We will never forget your trash talking, amazing slams and KO's.

I was at the fights yesterday. Rampage talked big about how he was doing this one for the Japanese fans and got a huge ovation when he walked in (to the Pride theme music). After the fight he left the octagon without saying a single word of thanks to any of the fans who cheered for him despite the fact he fought terribly. He did spend about 5 minutes talking with some cronies just out of the octagon on his way out. That shows you what his real attitude towards "his" Japanese fans is.

Rampage VS Tito loser leaves town match how exciting would it be the hype that fight would generate.

Seems Rampage is going down the hill but I hope I'm wrong. He really needs to work on his ground game. Would like to see Rampage whooping #$%$ like he used to. Maybe he needs to fight some mediocre fighters to build his confidence.

I wish I could disagree with all the comments on here but I can't. Rampage hasn't looked good his last few fights and one has to wonder if his heart is still in it. If he wants to be an action star that's fine it's his choice. he odesn't really owe the fans anything, but he does owe it to himself to do his very best if he wants to fight, otherwise he is cheating himself above all else.

Another poor excuse for Mr.Rampage....As much as i enjoyed watching this dude fight, He just doesn't have it in him no more. All he want to do is brawl, he need to understand this is MMA, not Pride. He got some much talent, but yet doesnt want to take it to another level.

stick a fork in him....he's well done!!!!!
