Rampage was at his best in the clinch back in Pride. Wanderlei was his one Achilles heel.
He had devastating knees to the body, good dirty boxing, and was always looking to pick up and slam dudes onto their head, which he did regularly to end fights and break bones.
Rampage is one of the most underrated LHW fighters ever tbh. He had Chuck's number every time, Hendo's too, the only guy he couldn't beat when it really mattered was prime Wanderlei. Forrest Griffin didn't count. That fight didn't happen, you imagined it.
This gif always makes me chuckle. Makes a normal door look like a single sheet of cardboard.
A-level overhand elbow and body kick IMO
Absolutely.He has goat boxing blocking. He uses elbow blocking like no other.
JonWithout a doubt he's in the Top 10, maybe even Top 5 LHWs of all-time.
Swear to god I thought the ass was blown out of his shorts.Absolutely.

Shogun handled him pretty easily as well, but if I remember correctly he had rib issues or something. It did look way easy for shogun though, it was lopsided. I agree rampage is underrated , cause he handled most UFC guys easily. Wandy just had his number. That first fight was awesome. I think it took a long while for rampage to recover from that face changing.Rampage was at his best in the clinch back in Pride. Wanderlei was his one Achilles heel.
