im not saying Rampage dominated, but I thought it was an easy fight to judge I felt Rampage won the takedown game, won on the feet, landed more punches overall especially on the ground, I dont think Lindland won it with those knees to the body and stomps to the feet in the clinch, or off of his sub attempts. Rampage was pretty much in control for 3 rounds, just my opinion. I give Lindland credit too, facing a bigger opponent but I think being a Greco-Roman wrestler, and Rampages weakness being the clinch its impressive the way he fought Lindland, considering that Lindland proved he can take anyone down at any weight.
By no means am I comparing Fedor to Rampage, but the debate was that Lindland at 205 wasnt powerful enough to use his wrestling but he went up against one of the most powerful HWs in Fedor, and took him down so that does say something about Rampages power, and his wrestling because it wasnt easy for Lindland to take Rampage down, and Rampage took Lindland down more times then Lindland took him down. Doesnt mean he'll take Chuck down, but I think Rampage is a better wrestler then his achievements suggest. Probaby has a lot to do with his style.
