Rampage's Asian fetish shot to hell by Mir

By Steve Cofield

Quinton Jackson looked pained each time that he spoke about the change of plans from the UFC. He was slated to fight in July at UFC 100 now it looks 98% sure that he's going to make a quick turnaround to fight Rashad Evans at UFC 98 in May. It's all because Frank Mir had to get knee surgery and cancel his fight against Brock Lesnar. We found at the end of this morning's UFC 96 postfight press conference Rampage had big plans:

"Y'all don't even know. I got a bunch of Asian girls waiting for me. Damn! I was going to see which one I was going to take with me on a little getaway. Fly first class, talk about how I'm going to be UFC champion again. Get a private hut somewhere. All that just shattered cause somebody got their damn knee scoped."

Jackson tells a funny pathetic story at the very end that someone stole a jacket from his lockerroom. He didn't care about the jacket but asked whoever stole it to return the phone that was in the pocket. UFC 90 marked the silliiest heist ever at one of these events when some jackass stole the microphones and the UFC mike flags right out of the press room at All State Arena.

    Sad ......the ones whom get shots at the titles are the ones whom have their lips stuck on Dana "NUTSACK" Whites pecker. !
    He has to go get drunk ? You think he would of learned before ,when he went to the crazy house.
    Yes goofs I know he wasnt drunk when he was doing the OJ shuffle in his suv, but you know what I mean.

    Great, now Jackson can (if he loses) hauk it up to his no down time and his unfortunate turn of events....sorta bad move Dana. Jackson had some serious mental and law problems less than a year ago and now he is going to get some more mental stress and possibly some physical stress to add to all of it. Why not "punish" Wandi, who is currently under Jackson in the "LHW ladder" and force his Franklin fight a month earlier and give Jackson the 99 fight, you did want to make a big splash in Germany right?...

    I really dont like evans or rampage, so whoever gets knocked out, I hope its brutal. They are both way to cocky, and could both use an ass whoopin or two.

    For a long time I hated Rampage cuz he knocked out Chuck over in Pride. I actively rooted against him because I had never heard of him or seen him fight or listened to him outside of the ring. But then I started following up on his career and saw a few interviews, and when he knocked Chuck out again....... I couldn't hate on him anymore. Is he cocky? DUH..... Any man who steps into a cage and doesn't believe he is going to beat the other man has no business in the sport. I don't see how people can still hate on 'Page. The guy is genuinely funny, self depracating, and honest. When he lost to Forrest he said, "He whipped my a$$." The guy is humble in defeat and gregarious in victory.......... so you don't have to like him, but you don't have to hate him either.

    This is ridiculous... can someone please tell me what exactly Rampage did more than Machida to deserve a title shot, other than beating a guy (Jardine) who couldn't beat the last guy he beat (W. Silva)? Meanwhile- Machida is undefeated, and EARNED his shot by beating another undefeated LtHvyWt... where's the matchmaking logic here? Oh yeah- Rampage= $$$. I'm usually pretty defensive of Dana White; but I'm p!ssed about this one...

    I think its a prefect situation now, Rampage has fought twice and may have hurt his arm. Have him take a few months off and let machida fight evans next. Its not a matter of who is the number one contender they both deserve title shots and machida like evans are rested so let them fight. No matter who wins that fight makes an exciting fight versus rampage. If rampage were to take the fight in may, a loss by rampage would always be questioned because of the short turn around, never mind the win by evans would have a shadow cast over it. They both deserve to fight each other when they are both are healthy because the fight could go either way and will be a great fight when ever it happens.

    I really like the reasoning there reguarding who should fight next from Darkness and Collin C I think that makes the best case scenario. I wish Dana and Joe would tell us the reasoning they carry behind having Rampage next inline so quickly. Money ~~~I really think, Darkness, that the money is there whether it is Machida or Rampage who steps into the octogon against Evans. I really like the idea of Lyoto getting his shot next give Rampage time to heal from this fight and then take on whomever has the belt. That way you guys are right there could be no excuses for questioning ablilty due to a quick turn around. And there really is no doubt in anyone's mind that Lyoto desreves a shot at the title.

    Just look at it this way...The earlier Rampage gets his belt back, the earlier Machida gets to fight him for it. Now thats the fight we all want to see!

    I'm not sure what will happen, but based on what I read about the fight, I don't think Rampage can take the belt from Rashad. Rampage has beaten two great fighters, a former champion, and lost a decision to Griffin. Machida has beaten Tito Ortiz, that's his greatest victory in the UFC. Sokoudjou and Silva are good fighters, but they had a lot to prove. Machida has proven he's capable, but hasn't beaten anyone terribly significant yet. I think he can get the title, but everyone clamoring for a title shot now is reaching.

    Darkness said "can someone please tell me what exactly Rampage did more than Machida to deserve a title shot". Well it is called "sports entertainment" and Machida is less exciting to the 2 brain celled drunken public that make up the bulk of UFC sales than Jackson. He may never get a title shot unless he changes his style and performs for the crowd(which would be horrible).
    And to the guy up above Machida has beaten Rich Franklin and BJ Penn but of course they are nobodies.

    A win over BJ Penn for a LHW is laughable. Machida hasn't beaten anyone in the UFC. And all you Machida fans can quit crying because Machida will get a title shot this year. Rampage vs. Rashad is going to make sooo much more money than the winner of that fight vs. Machida.

    Rampage is a guy that can sell fights; half of the people love him and want to watch him fight and win, and the other half hate him and want to see him get beaten, but the point is to sell the fight and he is just the right guy.
