Seriously?

Dana is just paving the way for Rampage

i made this observation in another thread....i was kidding around and caught a snarky comment or two....which is cool...i enjoy the give and take...

but i was dead serious about the way dana handles fighters...he`s a prick...plays favorites....and isn`t above f-cking with people`s careers to get what he wants....i hope he doesn`t f-ck the goose that lays the golden egg...

but,it is his toy,so........................

if hamill wants to hang around for a round or two,he`d better grapple his arse off....

**playa420** · 02-11-11, 06:04 PM

lol, hammil is ******, i hope i can get rampage at -300 or less

**rocky mattioli** · 02-11-11, 06:06 PM

anybody ever hear a concrete reason why silva was pulled from this fight?....

i heard some mumbo-jumbo about drug testing,but it didn`t even mention silva specifically...

**sirchadwick1** · 02-11-11, 06:19 PM

Hamill will probably try to stand and bang w/ Rampage and get TKO'd in 1. I'm looking for the Rampage by T(KO) prop in this one. Hoping it's +150 or better.

-300 would still be a gift. Lets hope the line is somewhere around that.

Unless the line is good though this is not a fight I will be looking forward to see. Hamill is such a downgrade from Machida/Silva/Rashad. This is a pretty big disappointment overall.

**Squareguy** · 02-11-11, 06:58 PM

Rampage will probably open around -190 to -220

You guys aren't giving Hamill a lot of credit either...the dude got absolutely robbed against Bisping, and he's improved a lot.

**terpkeg** · 02-11-11, 07:17 PM

Hamill is 9-2 in the UFC i believe. He deserves this fight imo. I also think it wil be a competitive fight as Hamill's striking continously improves. No way line is -300 imo.

I agree with everything said here.

**BIGDAY** · 02-11-11, 07:47 PM

I will gladly go large on Hammil if he is +250 or better. I have made a lot of $$$ with Hammill's fights.

**omalley21** · 02-12-11, 12:49 AM

Rampage is clearly gonna destroy Hammill. You gotta be kidding me.

**bogbat** · 02-12-11, 01:00 AM

Rampage's weight sky rocketed above 250 since his last fight. He only seems to train during fight camps. Rampage should win this but I don't think its a crazy mismatch like others in this thread are suggesting.

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-12-11, 01:04 AM

Matt Hamill is going to destroy Rampage just like he destroyed Jones

**Varker** · 02-12-11, 01:25 AM

yea Hamill is screwed, but he'd have to fight someone good eventually.

Hamill walked through Jones. I don't understand why Hamill isn't fighting Shogun instead of Jones?

You are making way too much sense. Hamill is too big to be facing a gate keeper like Rampage.

Poppa, Hamill didnt destroy Jones, he won because Jones' was killing him with 12-6 elbows and got DQ'd.

(Just joining in with the latest craze of not getting sarcasm)

**Poppa Catfish** · 02-12-11, 06:09 AM

Ah I see, damn, I don't actually watch fights I just look at fightfinder and I'm barely literate

I used to be more subtle, but even something like that is at best 50% understood here

**rocky mattioli** · 02-12-11, 07:14 AM

like,

"plexico burress is a good shot"./////

Not a big fan of this fight. It really screws a great bet on Phil Davis over Matt Hammil. I was going to be playing Davis huge. Obviously Rampage will have a huge advantage on the feet. But what if Hamill has no problems taking him down? Rashad had a perfect dry humping gameplan, couldn't Hamill do the same? How hard is Rampage going to train? He is overweight and now has been spoon-fed someone he should destroy. It's not like he has some beef with Hamill, hell he couldn't even train properly for Rashad who he hates. No motivation, and a fight he should win spells... upset. Hamill above +200 might be a good bet.

that`s the wildcard...if hamill fights smart and takes rampage down,who knows?....

my guess is he fights dumb...and i`m not enthused about hamill`s shots.....he has a history of underutilizing his wrestling in his mma career..

100% Correct! I know I can count on Hammil being focused and ready to fight no matter what. His work ethic is unreal. I just don't know if I can lay this mch juice down and trust Rampage here. I truely hope the public pounds rampage so my number only increases with Hammil.

**GoldRush7** · 02-12-11, 10:36 AM

Rampage is going to overlook him...via his twitter:

"I'm not interested in Fighting Matt,I rather fight Rashad,I have un finished business with him"

He admitted he is 45 pounds overweight(which sounds completely absurd to me). I feel like the money and fame has really gotten to his head and changed who he is as a fighter. It's very unfortunate because the Rampage from the Pride days and first couple fights in the UFC was extremely fun to watch. Now he is just a shell of himself

Very interesting.

Might be good to avoid betting this fight. Rampage is a professional fighter, but he refuses to stay in shape.

**bracerman** · 02-12-11, 11:51 AM

Even a semi out of shape Rampage should be able to knock Hamill out, but I won't be betting Rampage as a big dog with so many questions about his shape/state of mind.

**sirchadwick1** · 02-12-11, 12:18 PM

I always have a hard time betting on Rampage b/c he doesn't have the motivation he used to. However, even at 75% or whatever... he still overwhelms Hamill. I'll be betting on him in this one if the line is right.
