With Rampage out of the Teixeira fight due to injury, and only having one fight left on his contract do you think this fight would be a fitting last fight? Possibly for both fighters? Im sure I heard some where before that Silva would like Rampage to be his last fight so why not?

Sadly Rampage should KO Silva again, but imagine. Imagine if Silva came out victorious. That would break him mentally.

Wonder why they never did Shogun vs Rampage x 2.

I'd love to see it actually. Silva struggled with Rich because Rich used the same style of intelligent fighting, but Rampage has begged for a tear up for a long time and Silva proved he can still go when he almost finished Franklin, so would be an exciting fight and a fitting end to both of their careers (although I want to see Machida Vs Rampage first).

I'd watch this.

Unfortunately for Silva he fights like a brute and wants to put on a show, so I don't see this fight ending that well for him against Rampage. This fight would do big numbers though if you asked me. I'd much rather see Shogun vs Rampage 2...Shogun or Wandy, or both, Rampage could seal himself a nice paycheck with either of the fights and maybe resign a deal cuz he has some pretty good drawing power.

Honestly, never understood why Rampage keeps talking about how he doesn't want to fight anymore and doesn't get payed enough and wants to retire. Lets be honest, Rampage makes a reasonable amount for his fights; did he end up in the wrong career or something? I think he's just lazy as shit.

I don't wanna see Wandy get KO'ed again. Part of me thinks he can still pull off a vicious tko of Rampage, but let's be realistic. Henderson broke Wandy before he came to the UFC. Wandy is my fav fighter so I hope he goes out on a high note, and I just don't think this the way to do it.

People seem to forget Wanderlei in his prime is a better fighter then Prime Rampage, with the result of the first 2 fights. Wanderlei after being KOed by Mirko was the end of his career in my opinion, there was a impact mark on the side of Wanderleis head much like someone swung a bat at him.

Yes i get what you are trying to say. but i think at that point Rampage was still pretty close to his prime comapred to Silva, now i feel they are equally past it, it just happened to Silva first. And Rampage has hardly been the KO artist recently, right now i dont think Rampage would blast through Silva like the 3rd fight.

I am tired of seeing Wandy get KO'd. If he still had the chin and the amazing recovery he once had in his Pride days I would say hell yeah, bring on Rampage.
Unfortunately Wand is not the crazed psycho killer her was and truly cannot take a shot like he used to.

I know some are thinking Wand stands a chance simply because Rampage has not looked that great lately but Page can still take a shot. This fight would go much like the last one.

Rampage is just the more intelligent striker. It depends how Rampage plans to fight. For a long time he's been dying for a stand up war, and maybe he will let everything else go away and stand and trade with Wandy. Wanderlei can knock out anyone. Rampage might have the better chin, but Silva can still get to it. The edge would be firmly in Page's corner, but I'd be calling for War Wandy!

When I spoke to Silva a few years ago he said no matter what the fight with Rampage will happen again and he would do his best to get revenge. I could see it happen but damn Wand would get KTFO. He is so much safer at MW with his deteriorated chin. Bad fight for Wand, if Rampage was smart he'd take it too. Easy win and a big name fight.
