I think rampage is a good fighter and funny as ****... but i am starting to question if he wants to fight anymore.. his performance against Jones and Bader were not impressive.. except for the slam of coarse.. but still what is you're opinion on this matter? should rampage retire? or is he just not hungry for the win anymore?

I believe him when he said he had a hurt knee. He Def seemed alot more tentative than usual.

He is my favorite fighter so of course I would like to see him fight again, however if it's the same Rampage that showed up for the Bader fight I would rather him just retire. Maybe it was the injury as he is saying that caused the weight issue I don't really know but hopefully he dedicates himself and finishes off his career with a couple wins

I don't think he should retire but I do think he needs to get rid of all the british yes men he has around him and goto a camp where they will push him

Florian reckons an injury prevented him from making weight and lead to his less than satisfactory performance.

Rampage did have an injury i believe, he didnt look like the rampage that he used to idk maybe its the will to win but idk i think that he still wants to fight and he will be back.

@markyhunty Well Rashad offered Rampage to come train with him in Florida. I totally agree with you btw.

Why did Yaspaa get a downs thumb for telling us what a fighter believed was the reason behind Rampages performance.. LOL.

Russello, because some of the members don't grasp the actual concept behind a down vote.

If he still wants to fight, he's gonna have a home with Zuffa unless he states otherwise. His gameplan is so geared toward the standup that its not surprising anyone anymore. I still like seeing him fight but only when its against anotjer standup fighter. It's no fun watching him fight off his back. Gatekeeper? Most likely

Agree with prophecy, kinda expecting a lacklustre display these days. He should be dropped down the bill a little to see if he still wants it.

I think in the fight you could easily tell something was wrong with Rampage. But thats still no excuse, he took the fight and honestly looked very bad. I wanna see Rampage give pro boxing a go.
