Shipping up to Boston vs Eye of the Tiger
That is a toss up
A stoppage due to an injury before a doctor looks at it?

Gagnon did way better than I thought he would.
Until he gassed and tried to win rounds with the wrestling.
I see Barao never getting his belt back from either TJ or Cruz. He looked like straight doo-doo.

Dollaway flinched hard when Machida lightly patted his side after the fight.

Finally got to watch the Johnny Tapia doc on HBO last night. When he was first suspended for a positive coke test and banned from boxing dude said he would fist fight people in the walk-in freezer of a local bar for $100 and a case of beer. NOw thats hard times.

The Machida cycle is running full force here as predicted

I'm just wondering who Rampage will fight when he gets back.
The only thing I can think of is Rampage vs. Shogun headlining a Japan event.

You don't think Bellator is going to throw an injunction/dispute the UFC contract?
I'd be interested to see how this shakes out. He has a legitimate claim if there was promises of PPV percentages, etc. But didn't Tito make $300K for his last fight? I can't see why Rampage has an issue with the Bellator contract. He was coming off of three straight losses in the UFC and just didn't seem like he could compete against current crop of LHW. He's a name though.

Belfort would kill Rampage. Granted he's been on PEDs/TRT the last few years but he's been on a tear except for his fights against the MW and LHW champions.
A Rampage fight today would be similar to the Diaz/Dos Anjos fight from last weekend. Poor takedown defense, no ground game, little to no leg kicks and just throwing jabs or trying to throw bombs.

Maybe Rampage will go to heavyweight. When he signed to Bellator he said he was considering it.
Only in MMA does the equivalent of a squash win over Duke "The Dumpster" Dollaway on Saturday Night's Main Event constitute a comeback.
Hell, Cummins would

You like me, you really really like me!
Rampage and Phil Brooks. 2015 is looking up fellas. Good on the UFC brass for showing more of a focus on entertainment. Let's see how their matchmaking goes.

45 events, oversaturating blah, blah, need compelling names to generate interest and sensationalist PPV promotions.
Rampage would get scorched by almost the Top 10. Here's the UFC hokey ranking:
Champion : Jon Jones
1 Alexander Gustafsson
2 Daniel Cormier
3 Anthony Johnson
4 Rashad Evans
5 Phil Davis
6 Glover Teixeira
7 Ryan Bader
^^^^ Most of these guys have a solid wrestling base and solid striking to either finish or obtain a decision on Jackson.
8 Dan Henderson
8 Ovince Saint Preux
10 Jimi Manuwa
^^^Can't really speak for these guys. But Rampage should've stayed and gotten that Money from Bellator to defeat cans. We've already seen the year on year decline of UFC PPVs. They're not drawing 400,000 to 1 million buys anymore.

Magnum PFrye would beat Doloway too.

Fuck, just make Rampage vs Shogun happen please UFC gods.

The ideal card for the next UFC Japan event:
Shogun vs. Rampage
Barnett vs. Big Nog 3
Hendo vs. Little Nog 2
Hunt vs. Overeem 2
I'd buy Fight Pass for that. That and I imagine it would be the best time for half of those guys to retire.
Afterwards, they all have to go on the Rogan podcast and get the Schaub reality injection.
Even fucking Shogun is still talking about getting the belt. He should have gone down to 185 a long time ago.
Oh well..
industrian

Shogun should have cut to 185 immediately after Jones vasectomized him. But it's too late for him. Even if he still has the willpower to compete, his body can't and his chin is cracked. I doubt he'd be able to hang with the Kennedys and Philippous let alone the Weidmans of the division.
I'd say that he should go home and work for his brother, but low oil prices may force Ninja back in the game. Ninja vs. Shlemenko in 2015. Believe.

It's obviously a few years late but I'd like to see Rashad vs Shogun. It's the only match-up of the "new old guard" at LHW (Rampage, Hendo, Machida, Shogun, Rashad) that hasn't happened (also, Hendo is the only one that Jones didn't fight).
