See some news/rumor somewhere?  Or just a fight you think would be cool?

Rampage has long been one of my favorite fighters, but my big issue with him is how out of shape he gets in between fights.  Seems like he spends all his time just getting back in shape as opposed to sharpening his skills.

Nevermind I see the rumor all over the place now.

But then this is what a Tatame reporter just said:

http://twitter.com/#!/guitatame/status/35398514208940032
Thiago Silva still on for UFC 130: "I'm not injured, and I'm looking forward to fight Rampage"


So we will have to see what the truth is here...

mmaweekly said that silva was injured an d rashad was going to take his place. It's on the right side of this page.

I really hope Rashad can get a more decisive victory this time around.  A lot of people try to discredit that win because Rampage came in out of shape, but why the hell should Rashad be discredited for being a professional fighter and showing up to the fight in proper shape.  It's not like Rampage didn't have time to prepare, that fight took over a year to happen.  Rampage just isn't as committed to MMA as he used to be since he knows he can get much bigger paydays from acting.

honestly either Page fighting silva or Evans is okay in my book both are stellar match ups. While i think Rampage may be too much for silva (maybe?), the Evan's sequel, is one that must happen again in the future. 
I think rampage wants Evans again and will come with a fire that he just lacked in the last match up, possibly due to his weight cut. This time around i see Page pushing the fight and making it much more interesting. 
Page by KO due to showing up in stellar shape

Damn it's starting to look like the reason this fight was setup is because Thiago tested positive after UFC 125.  I'm just speculating because of a few articles I've read.  Silva being pulled from the fight at the same time as the UFC 125 drug tests coming back "mostly" clean.  I like Thiago Silva and hope this is not the case because he looked great against Vera and was set to fight for a title shot.

Would that totally ruin your obsession with Thiago Silva? I know i'd be severely disappointed but i won't jump to conclusions. This is all speculation until we hear the real news from the NSAC......

I'm a fan of Rampage and Silva.Rashad was very envious of Rampages movie role,in which he made bank.Rampage came into that fight with more ring rust than ever before,and still almost finished Rashad,bottom line.now back to Silva,it isnt official yet that he is definitely out,Athletes,especially Mixed Martial Artists are very vulnerable to all sorts of supplements and mistakes these days.It might be a failed drug test but I wouldnt lose any respect for Thiago Silva.
