Past or present, who could you see being able to outright outstrike Rumble?

Jones? Rampage? Shogun? Liddell?
 
A lot. It's who can handle the outgoing from Rumble where cases can be made.
 
Rumble could bang with them all at 205. But how would he do against a pressure fighter... Just better tuck that chin when coming forward or night...night.
 
He would KO everyone except Jones in the first round

I can respect the others for their time of course, but the elite LHW of today would all smash those guys.

MW TRT Belfort already did.
2016 Rumble sleeps any version of Vitor in the 1st round. Rumble was sick and dehydrated for that fight.

Plus his technique was shit back then, he improved it a lot under Hooft when he fought at 205.
 
any of those guys you named on a good night could do it, so could Gus and a few others, Rumble was not some unbeatable machine, he has been getting beat here and there for a long time...the blue print was laid out, his power got scarier the more he moved up ...which partially covers up his weaknesses but they are still there
 
No lol that why DC had to wrestle him. Gusty tried and ended up on all 4 lookin like a drunk headbanging in a moshpit

Jones definitely. Perhaps Rampage, TRTor, and TRT Hendo. Probably others too. Just can't think of them right now.

LHW Romero probably could too.
 
Rumble is a beast, I don't think any LHW can outstrike him. They would face the same fate as Gus
 
There are strikers who are better on paper, yet actually beating him in the standup is another thing entirely.
 
Rumble would crush all of those guys except Saki.

PED Jones might be able to eye poke him and knee kick him to a win on the feet.

LOL at Anderson, Rumble would run right through his strikes and KO him faster than Weidman did.

Lidell has no defense, Shogun before the knee injuries had kicks that could maybe slow him for a bit but Rumble's hands would be too much for him and like SIlva walk through his shots to land the KO.

Rampage was never a faster fighter even in his prime. His advantage was his iron chin and heavy hands. Rumble has all of that plus more KO power and a lot of speed.
 
Prime Shogun or Prime Rampage.

Those two had serious chins, blistering power in their punches, and could counter.

Still, Rumble has the speed and power to destroy anyone standing.
 
Maybe Gus. I'm fully aware they already fought but Rumble can sleep anybody in the world if he lands he's that explosive. Gus might win a few in a best of 10.

Perhaphs a prime Shogun and Rampage


Out of everyone I think maybe a prime rampage
 
Rumble if he hits clean, finishes anyone at any weight class.

Jones probably could outstrike Rumble but he’s only seconds away from going to sleep at any second.
