What Do You Think Was Rampage’s Best Ever Performance?

[Gabe]

I’m rewatching the Rampage DVD with some of his best fights and man he was a physical monster in Pride. I would compare his strength and ability to rag doll dudes to heavyweight DC considering Igor Vovchanchyen was almost as big as Josh Barnett. What do you think was the best he ever looked in any of his fights? Not his best win, but the best he ever looked as a fighter in the cage/ring? My vote goes to the first Chuck fight, he treated Chuck with absolute disdain. Mixed in his wrestling with his heavy hands flawlessly in that fight. I don’t think any other fighter could have beat him that night other than prime Wanderlei. He looked great in that fight too before he got sent to the shadow realm.

That time he blocked punches with his elbows and countered and got a ko

I was the most blown away by his performance against Randleman. Never seen anyone stop Randlemans takedowns like that. Incredible athleticism and incredible finish.

My vote goes to both the Chuck fights. Honorable mention to the KO of Wanderlei too

Rampage vs Henderson.

His boxing , wrestling and cardio were all well balanced

 

[Clark Rogers]

Prime Rampage was a damn beast. So strong. Idk if i can pick a single performance, tbh.

Yeah, great underrated fight. Solid mix of grappling and striking. They both looked great. It was competitive. IIRC the poll on here afterwards had about 70% Rampage winning and 30% Dan winning.

Rampage is a total scumbag and does not deserve any more attention

Randleman, both Chuck fights, Wandy 3, Hendo.

I never understood how some people thought Henderson won. It wasn't a blow out by any means but it was a pretty clear 48-47 Rampage win.

And not for nothing, Quinton looked very close to finishing Dan with ground strikes in the closing moments.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

When he beat the brakes off Chuck (sadly) and Wandy (more sadly)

The first fight with Chuck.

 

[Dimbis]

His interviews for sure.

KO streak Vovchanchyn-Randleman-Ilyukhin was insane
