Bisping 'Not Impressed' with Rampage

[jukon]

dont get caught up in the hype. we're dealing with promotion companies, but as real mma fans we need to block that nonsense out.

[breuter]

i would agree, but i doubt Dana would feed him to Rampage like that, he doesn't really like to make his TUF fighters look bad and i don't think Bisping is ready to hang with Rampage

why do you says a fighter that could beat Liddell when hes already beaten Liddell?

Claims? Rampage DID beat chuck.

Taking 4 rounds to beat Tito standing up

OR

Taking 2 rounds to beat Muay Thai fighter?

Hm...I wonder.....

Four rounds? Check your facts Chung79. Are seriously saying that Marvin is a better fighter then Tito? Hell, Lutter made quick work of Eastmon. And yes, Can do as opposed to did. I'm talking about the present and not the past. You should try it sometime.

Umm Marvin Eastman is a lot tougher to beat on the feet then Tito is

Yes, but this is mma and not boxing so there are other elements to fighting then striking. Comparing mma fighter to mma fighters Tito is a much tougher opponent. Eastmon is now 0-3 in the UFC. Great striker or not he is not effective as of late in MMA.

I don't see what is wrong with saying Rampage wasn't impressive in that fight. It's not ripping on him as a fighter, it may have been nerves, but he was very cautious and timid compared to how he usually fights.

I hope Bisping knows what he's doing. The last thing he needs to do is get into a war of words with Rampage for God's sake. Rampage will eat him up, on a mic, and in the cage.

What Bisping should be focusing on, is literally tearing apart his next opponent and making a name for himself in the cage. I get really agitated when these TUF guys start talking like their big shit because they won a reality show. Quarry talked shit about Franklin, Lutter talked shit about Silva, now Bisping is talking shit about Rampage. Give me a break.

If the Chuck that fought Rampage back then shows up to fight we will have a new LHW champion.

But I don't think that will happen. While Chuck himself has never been one to make an excuse for a loss, he did fight Rampage with torn quadriceps. That is an important thing to remember.
There is also the question of what Rampage will show up. Many fans think Rampage hasn't been the same since he was brutalized by Silva and Shogun.
Another thing to think about is that Chuck has never lost a rematch.

And while Eastman is no slouch, Rampage was showing some bad habits in that fight; constantly ducking his head down to evade punches. Maybe this was just his game plan against Marvin, but if he ducks his head like that against Liddell there is a good chance he is going to join Chuck's HL reel.

I would love to see this fight, but i don't think that Bisping is Ready, although I think that we should see Bisping Vs. Eastman first.
