This should be a fun card. A lot of big names are fighting on this card, and the Rampage/Rashad fight is still very tough to call. Either way, there is no possible way that fight can disappoint, and the media coverage this card has been getting is really good. Friends of mine who aren't really MMA fans are excited for this fight.

The war of words between the two has exploded, to the point where Rashad called Rampage a "Sambo"... which he explained is even worse than calling someone an Uncle Tom. And here I was the entire time thinking Sambo was a variation of Judo.

Here are a couple of confrontations between Rampage and Rashad that are the most notable.

They also went back and forth with each other during a conference call for the media last week. If you want to read the transcript, click this:

As always, no asking for Streams, no spoiling the undercard. There will be two Spike TV prelim fights at 9:00.

 

[Super Hans]

Oh and bisping wins quite comfortably tonight.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

I would totally watch this if I didnt have to be up at 5am tomorrow. Sorry dudes, just fell on the wrong weekend

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure my friend's ordering it tonight, so I probably won't be around either.

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

I'll be at B-Dubs so I'll be here after the fight, should be great though. It's had a pro wrestling esque build to it and has got me fucking pumped for Rampage-Evans.

 

[The Bearded One]

I'm super pumped for tonight. I want to see Rashad win, but I don't care either way. I just think Suga Rashad has a better chance at beating Shogun than Rampage, and I found the whole Snuggie thing hilarious.

The only thing that would make me mad is if Bisping won. I hate that man.

 

[Mr. Truth]

I plan on simming this in UFC 2010, or at least as much as I can.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm in if the alarm I've set to go off ten minutes before the event successfully motivates me out of bed. So... probably not.

 

[Baller]

I see Rashad winning in a great fight. I will be watching but probably won't be in LD.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Calling it early for Diamond Dallas Rampage.

 

[Slyfox696]

I'm sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings right now, waiting for this thing to start, AND waiting on my friend to show up. Some might feel like a loser for sitting at Buffalo Wild Wings on a computer by themselves, but not me.

What does suck, however, is that they apparently have a data transfer limit on their Wi-Fi connection, so I have to view the forums with the Mobile Skin. I never thought we needed the Mobile Skin, but it certainly has come in handy.

I watched it in Event Mode earlier.

In Kim/Sadollah, Amir won by Kimura in the second.

In Miller/Bisping, Miller won by Superman Punch in the second.

Rampage knocked out Rashad in the second.

 

[Mr. Truth]

First sim: Rashad with a 2nd round KO
Second sim: Rampage with a 1st round KO
Third sim: Unanimous decision Rampage (29-28)

 

[Mr. Truth]

Right now I'm done siming and I'm trying to see how many expert fights I can win with Batman.

 

[Mr. Truth]
