After completing a worldwide movie tour to promote his summer blockbuster movie “The A-TEAM”, Quinton Rampage Jackson looks to get back in the cage against “The Dragon” Lyoto Machida sometime this fall.
almost ready 2 sign the bout agreement! i would tell yall who im gonna get down with, but i cant spell his name…hahaha [twitter]
Both fighters are coming off losses. Lyoto (16-1) suffered his first professional loss and was stripped of his title by Mauricio Shogun Rua at UFC 113.
Rampage (30-8) is coming off a close decision loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 114.

“Rampage (30-8) is coming off a close decision loss to Rashad Evans at UFC 114″ …. WHAT? Close decision??? Dominant performance by rashad ALL 3 rounds.
NICEEEE! Rashad will be happy about this. He clearly DID NOT want to fight Machida again. It was so obvious the way that he stated over and over again that he wanted to wait for Shogun to heal up. Understandable though..
This seems like a bad matchup for Rampage though. Rashad was too fast for him and Machida was too fast for Rashad.. This fight will be huge.
I agree with Karo. Rashad was in trouble for 15 seconds of that entire fight
I personally think that rampage will come out and surprise everyone by beating machida, i really hope that, that loss to evans shud motivate him to get bak in2 the ring, ring rust played a huge part in that fight, i neva known rampage to be that slow against anyone. he looked stiff and lost. he'll get bak in2 it and beat machida. GO RAMPAGE
Machida has got more tools to win this fight. We will learn from the loss of shogun. Page just looks for homeruns. This is gonna be a boring 3 round fight with MAchida getting a decision
Machida is the better fighter but rampage got this 1. no dought,, rampage comes out and suprise everyone,,
But if machida runs he got a good chance of winning
Thats his style running. He runs to land precise strikes. Hey GSP butt fucks guys all day and machida runs HA!
?
Karlo, you are wrong. Rampage did lose the first two round by being dry humped. Then won the 3rd when he dropped Sugar. Rashad should have been a man of his word and kept that fight standing. He bought him a damn snuggy for crying out loud……I think he bought it because he wanted to cuddle up with Rampage in it…he sure didn't buy because he was going to throw hands and KO Rampage like he said.
Face Cobra Clutch….you are the Chael Sonnen of Cage Today.
@PoppyNick – get real, a huggy ?. Maybe if rampage didnt train at wolfs lair he would have had a game plan to nulify rashads wrestling. It's part of the game, rampage is a fucking idiot if he thought it was going to be a boxing match with rashad. Rampage is too cocky and retarded to have a good plan for machida. Lyota is gonna kick his head off into the second row.
Hey, fuck you ironcjb82. Karlo is wrong. Get over it.
i hope the "Dragon" wins Rampage is a major dick and poor sport
a lot of posters on this site have no love for grappling and prefer strikes. The seasoned MMA fan should favor all of it
