Do you really think he came in not thinking that Chuck would be an opponent within 1-3 fights?
It's business...he signed the contract and has had more than enough time to prep, adjust etc knowing this fight was inevitable.

Actually Rampage signed a contract with the WFA and then Zuffa bought them out, so he is basically at their mercy until a negotiated contract extension kicks in (I'm pretty sure Rampage is getting a new deal after this fight).
I think people should let go of the "warm up fight" thing, Rampage probably only said that because he looked so skittish in there with Eastman. As long as he doesn't let his nerves get to him, he has all the tools needed to put a hurting on Liddell.
