Media Rampage Being Rampage

[mkt]

Rampage is overreacting big time. That was uncalled for, I think that's a valid question.

Shows to me that Rampage still can't get over losing to Jones. Come on, everyone Jones fought lost to him besides the DQ.

Rampage needs a chill pill.

I'm sure Cormier and Rashad--who had more personal issues with Jones than Rampage did--would handle it better. So would Bader, Glover, Gustaffson and pretty much everyone else who lost to Jones (long list).

Should have asked what it was like coming in 40lbs overweight to fight Fedor just to pick up a check.

Reddit Noob...

You ask Rampage...

What is it like getting to hangout with Sherbro @Travis Alexander

Facts.

Also Rampage 50-45’d “titties” and crocodile Dundee’s love child in that clip

Rampage needs to chill and just relax, he is so uptight about everything. I've seen fighters before asked how it was fighting Fedor and they all basically answered the same thing.. how great he is, even Sonnen was asked what its like fighting Fedor by a fan and he said he couldn't believe how fast Fedor was, he was unbelievably fast.. and thats coming from Sonnen who is a loud mouth. So to ask whats its like to fight Jones (whos one of the GOATS) is just a normal simple thing.

Oh please. That guy isn't that big nor is he jacked. And simply asking what it's like fighting the GOAT of a weight class isn't a provocation. I'm sure people asked George Foreman and others what it was like fighting Ali.

Rampage is acting like an immature, hot-tempered brat here, not a 50-year old former MMA fighter. It runs in the family, as the post says.

When you have a guy that size up close to you, anyone, even Rampage is going to have an evolutionary response of his adrenaline spiking through the roof. We all experience this until eventually we choose fight or flight, and Rampage is getting up there in age and isn't quite sure he can take a young athletic guy that big and strong anymore, so he used the fear adrenaline response to build himself up and got brave enough only when the big guy turned away from him.

I mean even if you know you can handle yourself, you will get an adrenaline rush if you think you're about to have a confrontation with a big scary looking motherfucker like that.

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Been a long time since I saw that fight but I remember thinking that was a pretty good version of Rampage that showed up for that fight.

I do think the guy's initial reaction to Rampage's hostility suggested it might have been attempted provocation, but it's certainly not completely clear (someone can be forgiven for handling the situation a little awkwardly).

If he was sincere, maybe he could have asked a better question but not every fan is a brilliant Sherdogger

MMA fans tend to forget that these are guys who give each other brain damage for our entertainment. They're not exactly people you want to meet in person (with some exceptions).

How long until Quinton is sharing a cell with Raja?

Not long I hope…

 

[DiazSlap]

My prediction, 8 months.

Remember when Quittin ran over a pregnant woman in his monster truck with his image on the side?

Uncle Pink Goof won’t bail him out again.

 

[DiazSlap]

Dude should have asked him how raja is doing.

LOL!! Exactly!! Or maybe covering both topics and ask Quinton how it feels that Jones is a better father than him?

 

[Neck&Neck]

Classic Shampage Wackson

I've slagged Rampage off plenty but that actually wasn't as bad as I expected having read the comments before watching the video. I do hold low standards for Rampage though

 

[BluntForceTrama]

I like Rampage. He’s continues to be my favorite MMA fighter

But it is awful peculiar when he passionately charges that he hates bullies. He’s repeated this many times on different shows.

What are you on about? That dude was not intimidating at all, and he was close to take a picture with Rampage, at no point was he threatening to Rampage. Manosphere Tatebros are unironically the guys that reek the most of insecurity.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

There is no excuse for Quinton’s behavior…

He is just a bully who can’t handle people not being scared of him…clearly this guy and others are not.

That guy looked pretty scared. Having the "Courage" to ask that in a crowded place while you know it is being filmed is not remotely a case of him not being scared.

a lot of people get mad at celebs / public figures because of some interaction gone wrong where they didn't want to take a photo, talk, or were in some type of mood.

The reality is when you're constantly dealing with fans, trolls, your privacy being abused, you aren't always going to react as your best self.

Yes, the way public figures react may seem uncalled for, but when you look the larger picture, It's a symptom of the larger issue of being in the limelight.

Some do better than others with the attention

Rampage has said a few times that he hates being famous and everyone knowing who he is. Which is why he loved fighting In pride.

It's easy to judge, but the reality is a lot more complex than we tend to realize for anyone In the public eye.

Boxers, Kickboxers, MMA athletes, Muay Thai fighters bad people confirmed. By this guy.

What about Soldiers ?

Confirmation confirmed.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

I can't imagine Randy Couture acting like this if someone asked him what it was like fighting Chuck Liddell.

He looks like a relative of "Titties"

 

[AstralPanda]

Yeah perhaps gauge people like Rampage and don't ask them about a big loss in front of a crowd first time you see them. But he def would have to learn to react better. I don't think he will care to change his personality around at 46 or what his age is.

That type of stuff usually travels down family lines. Usually something to do with childhood and upbringing.

People don't usually know where their own behaviours come from. It's unconscious, even if they might try to consciously control them.

A lot of times, it requires a skilled third party who's able to dig into those patterns and cycles, make the individual conscious of them, then take steps to correct the behaviour and root causes within them and the family line as a whole.

Until that happens, these things tend to continue down a family line.

Martial arts is actually supposed to be a vehicle for a higher level of control, but a lot of those old lessons have been stripped out of the systems. You can become a highly skilled fighter today without necessarily learning how to control your own power, energy and emotions.

Fighters should be amongst the most skilled at navigating their own fluctuation of states, but that isn't considered a necessary part of the training anymore.
