Rashad won easily,
Apart from the late scare, he executed a perfect gameplan.

Went exactly like I thought it would-Rashad outhustled him.Couldn’t understand the people who thought Jackson was still going to be a world beater after 15 months on the shelf.

Well
the third round is why….Rashad gets hit often….and all it takes is one shot from Rampage….had he been in shape…prolly would have finished Rashad in the third…hats off to Rashad though..he did what he had to do to get the win.

Well,the point is Rampage wasn’t in shape,and there was no way in the world he was going to be in shape after 15 months on the shelf.Yet everyone picked him by 1st round murder.
I think it was more a matter of people not liking Rashad and loving Rampage,and not looking at the facts going into a fight.Same thing with the Brilz-Nogueira fight.People love Nog,and don’t know about Brilz,so they automatically assumed Nog was going to run over him in short order.

His best chance to catch him would have been early….of course he’d be tired later in the fight.
I’ll give you credit though…you called Brilz/Nog…

I was pretty certain the fight was going to go this way...
just by looking at their last 5 fights. I don’t think it was simply the lay-off either.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
I dunno
Rampage’s movement wasn’t anywhere near how he was moving in fights prior to the layoff….

perhaps, sparring with all those undersized (185 lb) and under skilled (amatuer) sparring partners didnt help Rampage out a whole lot? Whereas Rashad worked day in and day out with guys he had to out hustle just to not get knocked on his ass.
Rampage’s movement was exactly what it should have been, he was looking for the shot, and was smart to do so, Rashad is very good at using zoning and controlling distance and head fienting on his way in, its how he landed that first big punch. He had Rampage in a situation where he never felt comfortable squaring his feet and doubting himself. In short, as I mentioned on another post, Rashad had the tools to make the fight boring if that was what he needed to win, he did, so he did it, so he won.

!["I remember one other thing he [Rashad] was doing - he was punching me in my knee! It was weird because I had suffered a real bad knee injury in camp but we kept it secret, we didn’t say anything about it and we didn’t even tell the UFC."
"I told my doctor and that was it, he helped me out but I was going to back out of the fight. The only reason I didn’t back out was the fight had been so hyped and I didn’t want to disappoint the fans. Why was he punching me in the knee though? That’s kind of weird - did he find out about the injury? I don’t know. Its weird."
