I feel Rampage. What would you do? Get your head beat in for not even a quarter of the money he will make doing the A-team? This is a money move for Rampage and he should postpone the Rashad fight to make the movie. They wanted him, and he is perfect for the role. But still can't wait for the fight. If Rashad still had the championship, then he would do the fitght. Hopefully, they give Rashad a rematch against Machida before then, so he can regain his title, then fight Rampage.
I have some other dream matches that I think should be done. I'll touch on that later.

Yep. Of course this could be the same thing, where he was all amped up on like 5 monsters and went crazy for a little bit,lol. He really isn't that old and I could see him coming back to fight after the movie is done.

You know what people say about 'retirements' in combat sports. How many times has Floyd Mayweather Jr retired recently?

Yeah, I definitely think he's coming back. But he said he's retiring.

Rashad also turned down fighting Randy Couture, who I think Couture is fighting Brandon Vera soon if I am not mistaken.

I'm calling it now... Kimbo vs Rashad. They will create this into a rivilary through the media, at the fight night.
Save this thread, because I gurantee I'm right on this one. Dana White is a mini Vince Mcmahon. Even if he denies it, he is. He knows Kimbo equals buys, and Rashad and he share star quality as far as the people go. Either you hate or love them. Doesn't seem to be much of a in between with either fighter. Kimbo can go down, and Rashad has already proven he can fight at heavy wieght

Rashad is a former UFC champ, and has an extremely well rounded game - including a great wrestling base. Kimbo almost got pounded out on the ground by James-fucking-Thompson, and got TKO'd in 15 seconds by Seth-fucking-Petruzelli. Sure Kimbo's gotten better, but Rashad is in another world in terms of fighting ability.

I don't see that fight happening at all. Rashad isn't going to fight in the Heavyweight division, he wants the belt back in the LHW and wants the best chance to get a title shot again. He already turned down Couture because he has lost his last two he said.

if Rashad likes money he will. Rashad would murder Kimbo, then set his self up to return to light heavyweight for a great return match in March. Thats two headlining matches in a sixth month span. Fighting Couture is not a main event, so why would he take that fight?

What in the world is the draw to that fight? Couture is in Shamrock vs Tito 3 stage. I would have no interest in that fight at all

shamrock couldn't beat a ultimate fighter at that stage. Couture gave Lesnar his hardest challenge and held his own against a top 5 heavyweight in Nog. If he moves down to LHW he can still put up some damn good fights. He has better wrestling than Rashad, has better boxing, he just isn't anywhere near Rashad's speed
