Rampage should get more love around here

[dog y]

Full disclosure: I just wanted to use the word Quintology (if it even is a real world) in a Quinton thread.
Wand was one of my first PRIDE idols, so his Bellator stint has left a bad taste in my mouth... well at least the Sonnen bout was years in the making, they were both way out of their primes, and Wanderlei didn't exactly risk head trauma against Chael, so I thought "let it be"...

But the 4th Rampage fight was a bad idea, no matter how I looked at it.
Wish Wand had stuck to friendly grappling bouts at RIZIN...

You mean Quentin

you know, I kind of agree. idk he is so hard to place in the all time great category because I know im just using his skillset over his record and imo he would beat any lhw that ever existed aside from bones. As a matter of fact I think if it were him now against jones he would have won based on the performances against reyes and santos. I think I have to agree based on accomplishment, he isnt a top 3 or maybe even a top 5. I have to reconsider his place in the pantheon of all time greats. Sometimes being the best, or 2nd best in his case, doesnt equate to best career overall.

He's not top 10 based on accomplishment. Resume and longevity are what matters in this discussion, he has neither.

When I said RIZIN, I actually meant Quintet (Sakuraba's grappling promotion)

The Quintessence of MMA-grappling in a sweet team format (I miss MMA teams )

Talk about salty. I never said he was past his prime.

Naaah, I'm salty about a bunch of MMA related stuff, but not that. My bad if I appeared to be so...

Probably one of the first great mma personalities that endeared himself to the fans. Always had great fights in pride and pre 2012 in the ufc. Still out there fighting at hw at 42 I have so much respect for his career. Yes he did some crazy and bad things in traffic and probably inappropriately made fun. Of Asian culture by todays standards, however the guy is still hilarious to me. If you were to rank him all time lhw he has to be top 5 or close.

Wandy
Shogun
Rampage
Chuck?

I agree 100%

I agree 100%

And he is still the #52 HW at his ripe old age!

He does get respect and any disrespect he gets is based on how he acts outside of the cage.

TUF also did not help.
He’s a tool and he knows no other way.

Rampage is very rapey.
