Hey, if these two really hated each other, well they didnt act like it in the ring. This Rampage wasnt the same one while in TUF. If Rampage did hate him then he wouldnt have been standing around, he would have been like Hendo vs Pisping. But nope he just stood there, didnt really fight, didnt finish Evans off and just walked away from at the end of the fight. Wheres the smack talk at that point?All this talk about Rampage has a new camp and hes the best hes ever been! what BS, this was another build up.
This is the UFC, its all about the build up and the final show. It was planned from the beginning that Evans vs Rua. Not all fights are rigged though.
I am glad I didnt pay a dime for this crap once again.

I can see Franklin winning a decision, but i'd love to see Chuck drop him.
If Chuck is in top shape, and can press, then he can catch him.
Rich needs to keep constant movement in every direction and avoid throwing combinations where Chuck could counter. Rich needs to focus on leg kicks and head kicks. Catch Chuck off guard.
Chuck on the other hand should do what he always does, throw combos from the outside and if he wants to steal a round, take Rich down with his superior wrestling.
Should be an interesting match, but I got Rich taking this via Decision.
Chuck lost but he impressed me a little. He actually looked like he improved and was doing fairly well until he got caught. If he should retire, it is certainly not because of this fight.
Now for the fight that matters, CROCOP BEAT PAT BERRY! **** YEAH! Despite my Crocop fanboyism, I figured Pat would KO Mirko honestly. I am rarely this pleased to be wrong. Crocop winning by rear naked choke is priceless.
Also, Crocop used side, axe, and hook kicks. That alone makes a great fight.
WILD BOYS!

It is certainly because of this fight that he should retire. It's blatantly obvious that his body just isn't reacting the same way it did years ago. Roy Jones Jr. is going through the same shit. Ali went through the same shit too.
You can't be the same guy at 40. It just doesn't happen. Time catches up with everyone.
