Skill wise, i would say Rampage all day. If they actually fight... Sonnen takes him down, holds him, gnp rinse and repeat. |
Rampage the real answer is bias. Very seldom do you read anyone here hoping Rampage wins any of his fights... lol business as usual.

Come on, you can't take the Christ pose on every fighter you favor.
Most people on here were Rampage fans through and through until he stunk it up repeatedly and then missed weight after BEGGING to fight in Japan.
I'ver personally never been a fan but I've always noted his counter-punching and awesome slams.

Everyone is thinking no matter whom Rampage gets in the ring with these days hes torched. Hell I even bet some think he would get roasted by Bonnar.

Sj thanks for taking the time to look (most don't). This however was a fight against Hamil who really had no business in the same cage fighting Rampage.
The hatred for this man dates back atleast 3 years and counting.

I disagree but it's all good.
I simply remember NUMEROUS people saying he had the "best boxing in MMA" and I vehemently disagreed due to his footwork and lack of a solid jab.
Either way, it's clear that people NOW dislike him pretty badly.

I agree about his boxing as well. While he is still one of the best boxers in MMA his footwork is and always has been GOD awful. I often wondered if he had bad knees like Kimbo.
But when hes in the clinch his style is devastating.

Wait, wait...I know this one! I totally know why they hate him.
It's because he's from Memphis, isn't it!
Bastards!
