UFC 107 - Rampage vs Evans

[GoGoGadget]

one two skip a few UFC 107.

Ya its very early, but the lines have been up for a while now. Lines are ranging from -115 to -140 for Rampage.

Where do you think the lines will end up before the fight?
My guess is -180ish Jackson.


Who do you guys have in this fight??

[Mikail]

My early lean is Rashad Evans

Mir -200 vs Kongo, what y'all think?

[The HOFF]

Mir -200 vs Kongo, what y'all think?

Mir for sure. I think even Mir's takedowns are good enough to get Kongo down.

[brooks85]

on paper mir should crush kongo. Kongo cardio is crap and so is his ground game even though he hasnt be submitted. But, I think mir is going to stand too long and get ktfo, possibly inside first round. Cain took atleast 3 shots to the chin on his takedowns that I dont think mir could handle.

[Mikail]

I like Mir! I think ultimately he will over power Kongo. As far as Rampage/Evans, I have wen't from leaning Evans to Evans will clean his clock. I predict a Knockout to the likes of what Evans did to Liddell!

Rashad KO Rampage?? Bahahahaha, thats the funniest thing I've heard this week! Rampage has only be TKOed/KOed by 2 ppl - Wanderlei and Shogun. Jackson's chin is rock solid and Rashad's overrated power and striking won't even phase him. If Rashad wants to win he will use his wrestling to keep top position on Rampage, not stand with him.

Baroni is nothing without his steroids, he has lost 4 of his last 9 fights, 2 of them to Kala Hose and Joey Villasenor, both scrubs imo, Baroni wont win a round, 3 round decision or second round americana

Think you posted in the wrong thread but i'll answer here lol. First, Villasenor is no scrub. Second, both those fights you are talking about were at a different weight class. He's 3-1 since moving down to 170lb and his loss came to a massive 170lb in Joe Riggs who overpowered him in the ground game. Amir isn't gunna overpower Baroni. Just my opinion.

Both Evans and Jackson Like to stand up toe to toe. If this is the case then I think Evans has the advantage with his striking power. I don't deny Rampage has a solid chin, but he has been Ko'd and I see it happening in this fight! If the fight does go to the ground then Evans still has the significant advantage. Either way Evans is the winner! To any who plan to wager this match. Take notice of the value on Evans!!!!

Like I said - he's been KOed one time, by Wanderlei in the Muay Thai clinch with Knees. He's been TKOed 2 times - once by knees and once by soccer kicks. Never by a punch. This is in almost 40 fights. Rashad doesn't possess any type of attack from the Muay Thai clinch. Where you get that Rashad has the power advantage is beyond me. Rampage is known as one of the most powerful punchers in any weight class. I haven't said Rashad can't win the fight, I'm just saying a knockout is prolly the most unlikely outcome for him to win IMO. Anyways, I guess we will see come fight time!!

[illmatick]

you say hes 3-1 like it means anything, the combined record of the fighters he beat is 16-25 all with more losses than wins on their records, so obvious to me that he is a shot fighter, only loads up and looks to land that big shot which I'm not convinced he has anymore, amir sadollah was just too anxious in his last fight from the long layoff. I expect him to come in with a much better gameplan for this fight

[Eccocide]

I'm not even saying that I'm betting on Baroni. All I said was that I think its not the best thing to do to parlay a guy whose 1-1 professionally and is coming off a technical knockout loss on all of your tickets just because he won the ultimate fighter and is fighting a 'washed up' fighter - especially if there's no value and hes a big favourite. I already said that Baroni has no gas tank; Amir just hasn't proven anything to me and all Baroni needs to do is land that one big shot you talk off. If you feel that confident, then by all means do what you gotta do. I was just stating my opinion .

[goldengoat]

i can see evans playing hit and run in this one....rampage might have to go after him

[GoGoGadget]

Looks like Penn vs Sanchez has been moved to 107!! Card is going to be sweet.

[brooks85]

Ive only made 6 $1000 plays for mma and I think jackson is going to be my 7th.

Low kicks ala forest, wandy, shogun... for being from a Muay thai camp (oyama) back in the day he sure sucks at stopping muay thai. Rashad should be ready not sure if he will ko Rampage but its going to be a good close fight. Rampage for sure has more holes in his game than rashad.

[Eccocide]

Well we might have to wait to see it now as Rampage is going Hollywood for a bit...

Also, looks like Big Nog is not liking Mir's trash talk and wants a rematch at UFC 107. I'd actually like to see this rather than Mir/Kongo:

[brooks85]
