Funny to think how huge a Fedor vs. Rampage fight would have been around 10+ years ago, and how Sherdoggers would have been creaming themselves in anticipation. Now it's like . . . whatevs.

Hey so does the live PPV broadcast being at 7pm PST or is that a US replay?

 

[Not A Real Fan]

I know it says watch LIVE on Paramount but is it really LIVE?

 

[WhoWalksWithFergus]

Man, I could see Rampage being at least 280 on the night. He's going to gas hard in about 20 seconds. If Fedor's chin wasn't so shot he'd have it in the bag, but someone might open a window at the wrong time and let in a gust of wind that knocks him out.
I have a feeling this is going to be a strong contender for worst fight of 2019. I really hope I'm wrong though.

Yes. Event is happening Sunday morning local (Japan) time, Saturday night in the continental U.S.

Naw. Fedor always brings it. Win or lose, his fights are entertaining. Maldonado was bananas, Mitrione was crazy, Mir was exciting, Chael was entertaining...ok, Bader was kinda sad....but Fedor doesn’t give a shit who his opponent is, he’s going to try and send a missile to their jaw. Win or lose, you gotta love the bastard.

"Its bad when you gotta cut weight to make heavyweight, fuck that. I'm ashamed of myself." Rampage Jackson

 

[CieloLuce]

Going Hampage only because I because Fedor has a glass chin, one punch and his out.
Rampage will gas hard and wait for his shot.

I have a feeling betting on either one of these guys could be throwing money away.

Unless your guy wins! I'm on Fatpage as an underdog.

War Rampage!!

 

[Epicman1324]

The fact that an old fat Rampage Jackson is about to knockout a dude who also got slept by Ryan Bader might be one of the saddest things in recent MMA history alongside BJ Penn getting stiffed by a fat dude outside a bar.
