Isnt strength part of wrestling?

matt linland is way smaller then rampage, he could easily fight at ww, and possible even at lw if he cut down enough, he doesnt seem to have any muscle at all. weighed in at 176 for the horn fight and said that he didnt cut anyweight at all and was still looking flabby. as far as a technical standpoint linland is better but sometimes strength can overcome that.

thats why it wasnt a big deal but Lindland did get outwrestled, he got outwrestled because of the size difference

be interesting to see rulun gardner vs. rampage in a wrestling match great wrestler vs. gold medailist only strength doesnt help rampage as much.

im going with frankling tko in the late rounds, the guys like 22-2 with one tko lose, he doesnt have that bad of a chin like everyones making it out to be, but on the other hand we've seen rampage ko'd and sub'd more then once.

franklns a stud he'll have that belt back by this year

rampage, with or without Jesus, will pwn Ace. theres a reason Ace dropped down

Rampage has only been sub once lol wtf are you talkin about

and the only f ighters to knock him out are Wandy and Shogun, the only fighter on there level of striking to fight Franklin... A. Silva, and btw Franklin has been knocked out TWICE by A. Silva and Lyoto.

Rampage by decision.

[wrighty52]

hard to pick a winner in tis one really, i think rich's stand up is obviously underrated according to you guys. I didnt really like rampages debut in the ufc, maybe nerves got the best of him, not really to sure, just dont think he looked that impressive at all. He is a tank though i will give him that, but i would have to say that franklin is way smarter then rampage and probably wouldnt let himself get into a position where his strength would be a huge factor, ie. slammin him around. If i had to pick i would go with franklin.

Rich Franklin is a monster and I believe he would have a good chance in this fight but come on this is rampage were talking about. BREAK DA LAW. he would rip through Rich by ACE rapage (always wanted to say that) If A. Silva can throw Rich around then Rampage will throw him over the top of the octagon.

Rampage by tko 2nd round
