Im going with Hammill for the upset. I like Rampage but it will be nice to see a fresh contender. I hope hammill gets it he just need to fight smart and grind it out, look for the takedown when possible and impose is will on Rampage. Hammill by UD.

Yeah, Im going with Hamill by decision.
Jackson has said numerous times he's just doing MMA for a paycheck, and once he starts making more money on movies than fighting, he's gone!
And against a lesser named opponent like Hamill I think his motivation will be even lower. But If Hamill decides to stand and bang Rampage will win, but he cant be that stupid.. can he?

Rampage's one dimensional striking is way beyond Hamill's striking. I also do not see Hamill being able to consistently take Rampage down and hold him there. If that is the case, Rampage takes it.

Hamill's only real decent shot is to be able to control the fight but I doubt he is strong enough to control Rampage in the clinch and I think Rampage can stay on his feet here.

Rampage is gonna take the center of the octagon and he's gonna stalk Hamill trying to tag/hurt him.

Meanwhile Hamill will try to keep the distance and avoid Rampage's punches.

As soon as Rampage pushes forward, Hamill will try and go for the TD. Ih he won't get the TD the first time he will stay in the clinch and go to the cage.

He will eventually get the TD and try to work some GnP on Rampage.

In fact...i almost see this fight going the same way as Rampage vs Evans...without Rampage hurting Evans.

Hamill by UD for me.

People talk too much about Rampage's comments on money etc, sometimes it's better to just look at the fights; Rampage is too much for Hamill. On the feet it's no contest, he's strong and busy in the clinch, he has great TDD and is good at stalling people on the ground.

If Jackson doesn't manage to get a stoppage, he usually wins on the scorecards. Rampage definitely bests Hamill in terms of stopping power, and his consistant aggression and ability to keep the fight where he wants it is very hard to outpoint. Griffin and Evans did it with very specific strategies, but I don't think Hamill can apply either of them effectively. He's not a kicker and he's not quick enough to do what Rashad did, he'll get outmuscled and probably outwrestled. IMO a focussed Rampage would kill Rashad anyway.

Rampage should take this by KO or UD, Jones vs Jackson will then be topic of the week.

I'm surprised by how many people are writing Rampage off, he clearly beat Machida and now all of a sudden, he drops in stock?
Strange ain't it? Also strange how everyone bitches about 130, saying the main event is rubbish and a mismatch, but the posts in this thread imply the fight is quite competive and Hamill can likely win it.

I think the poll is a much better medium, no words for argument's sake, just pick a winner. This is a good event but Rampage should demolish Hamill.

Rampage appears to be in shape, motivated, the In The Moment special really sold me on him, he seems like he's never got over taking Forrest lightly and he'll never do it again.

Hamill probably shoots for a single, forces Page up against the cage, keeps him there for a minute or two working with some shots to the thigh/body but Rampage breaks free catches him with an uppercut/right hook combo and follows him to the ground for the stoppage victory.

I'm going to make a bold claim and predict that Rampage is actually going to go for a few take downs and slams of his own this fight.

I think he's going to mix up his boxing with a few take down attempts to really throw Hamill off his game, he definitely won't be expecting Page shooting for take downs.

Ramps looks in shape and well conditioned for this fight, I think he'll take a dominant UD, rocking hamill a few times.

I would bet my house on Rampage getting the win here. Hamill isnt going to be able to do a thing to Page, his standup is poor, slow and predictable (Joe Rogan is correct in that it has improved, but only because it would have been impossible to get any worse).

Hamill is a strong wrestler, but Page's TDD is often underrated and he has kept the fight standing with better wrestlers than Hamill in the past. Rashad was able to outwrestle Rampage with speed more than anything else - an advantage Hamill will not have, at least no were near the extent that Rashad did. Even if he does pull off a few successful takedowns, i cant see him keeping Rampage on the floor for too long.

Page via KO or TKO in the 2nd or 3rd. Hamill is going to look out of his depth here.

Rampage in my opinion, is faster, is just as strong, has better stand up, has a lot more power in his hands, is harder to finish, has just as good conditioning if not better when he comes in shape, has more experience, has more explosiveness, and their wrestling is close. If Rampage comes in motivated and in shape, he shouldn't have a hard time beating Hamill.

As a long time Page fan, I can admit to Lyoto Machida whooping his ass in that third round. But that's no indication as to how Hamill is going to do in this fight.
