Prime Rampage vs DC

DC didn't just out grapple hendo, he tossed him around like a toy. There are levels to size and wrestling. DC is an olympic wrestler. Rampage? Not so much.
I do agree that DC is one hell of a wrestler, but Rampage was tossing and slamming dudes around like crazy as well without the same pedigree as DC.
 
you're thinking is wrong...dc would have wrestled rampage into the ground...and either tap him or pound him out...
don't think I am..seeing as I've made It clear DC would outwrestle Page for 5 rounds.

But, I believe Rampage would've put up a good fight.
 
He doesn't have to take him down. The clinch is DC's bread and better, along with his fight iq. Rampage probably does better than Rumble but, I don't see him beating DC.

DC is better than Rampage in the clinch and a prime Rampage is better than DC at boxing. I can see the price for clinching being too much for DC, especially if the fight is in Pride. Too close to pick a winner.

It's not close to me because DC is better at blending his striking,clinching and wrestling together. There are guys who might be better at certain aspects of MMA but there are few that transition seamlessly through all of them. At the end of the day, Rampage would probably get overwhelmed with technique, skill and most likely a better gameplan.
 
Rampage had size advantage on most 205ers in the day, ge is pretty big. I could ser him catching dc but prolly 65/35 dc wins.
 
It probably would have gone down similar to Rampage vs. Rashad.

Prime Rashad and Prime DC have some strong similarities. Short for the division, good wrestling, Rashad a bit better at striking and DC a lot better at grappling.

he'd probably catch DC,

but I'm not sure DC can even be knocked out. Dude has a steel chin

If it were that version of Rampage, yes. Absolutely. As has already been stated many times though, that wasn't peak rampage.

Post Hendo, I don't think we ever seen the same level from Rampage again. When Rampage fought Rashad he was coming off injuries and also a long layoff where he was filming movies / didn't train at all.

I do agree that DC would outwrestle Page though, his wrestling is levels above anyone Page ever fought..but It wouldn't be easy.
