Dude I agree with this completely. Man I love Rampage and would love to see him have 1 more title reign. I used to think he was 1 bad dude but these days and for this fite in particularly I actually fear he's guna get his head knocked off by a k.o punch, a head kick, or his weakness, the muay thai clinch and get k.o'd via a knee.

I do agree Rampage SHOULD have the stand up game to outbox Silva and SHOULD be able to stuff most of Silva's take down attemps (although I do beleive Silva will stand up with Rampage), but when I say "SHOULD" I'm talkin bout the old skool Rampage, not this hollywood Rampage. I mean the guy looked so flat against Rashad, and against Machida, though he looked willing, at the end of the fite he almost looked subdued to a loss decision and was surprised when anounced he had won.
