EPIC!
The song used here is called ‘1,000 of the Underworld’ by Two Steps From Hell
The part heared here starts about 56 or so seconds in.
by Chris Groves
small correction
The actual title is ‘1,000 ships of the Underworld’
my bad. That’s the song later in the promo, not sure exactly where the earlier stuff is from.

Why is it that Zuffa can only do a proper promo if Rampage is involved?
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore Roosevelt
It was nifty, but not as good as this one or the one for 114. The one for 114 and this one make me feel that I absolutley, positively MUST see the event. The one for 120 just makes me go, “Oh, that looks like a fun card. Might have to catch that one.”

Which is kind of the point.
Because you REALLY want to see this one right. So you’ll buy it.
Whereas 120 is free so you can see it after little enticement. Plus go ahead and tell me 120’s trailer isn’t WAY better than any other UFC trailer (non-Rampage as you seem to have it in your head that Rampage trailers=star-making trailers that cannot be missed).
No, I’m just saying that the trailers featuring Rampage have been a lot better than the others that have come out recently. What’s the most compelling trailers recently outside of the ones featuring Rampage? The 114 trailer was a straight dagger and contributed directly to the huge amount of PPV buys that card did.

This one looks exactly the same as almost all the other promos
it even sounds the same too. The 120 one is the only one I could think of right now that was actually pretty good and that was because the UFC decided to actually put some effort in the production for that.
117's promo was brilliant
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
bj at -135?
hold on let me find every dollar ive ever made
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
You saw his last two fights………..right?

u saw bj vs hughes I and II right?
im gonna bet a million dollars bj doesnt break a rib again
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
Did BJ break a rib, or did he just gas out? Will we ever REALLY know for sure? Either way, he slowed down big time in the third round and got stopped. Against Edgar, he just stood around for 10 rounds and essentially did nothing but flick out a jab. That’s not going to cut it against Matt Hughes in a three round fight. I would favor BJ to win because I think he’s the better offensive fighter and still has a bit more in his tank at this point, but it’s still a SUPER competitive matchup. I wouldn’t bet any large amount of money on Penn in this one.

Do you think Matt Hughes can move around like Frankie Edgar?
Frankie neutralized BJ by using his speed. Matt Hughes won’t be able to do that.
and bj won the first time
not according to the judges but according to u and me he did
We have a saying back home that if your coming on, COME ON!!!!
Nobody
Would have tried to claim Edgar lost that fight had it been Maynard or Diego doing exactly what BJ did – it only happened because he’s BJ Penn…

wish brown vs macdonald was on the main card and simpson/munoz was on the under.
i can already tell brown vs macdonald is going to be insane.
Agreed..
When I had seen Simpson on the main card, I was a little disappointed. Maybe its my inability to warm up to ASU wrestlers, but I just don’t think he’s done anything in his career to deserve it yet.
Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.
WAR MACHIDA!!
WAR PENN!!
the following two things are signs of weaknesses:
stay silent when it's needed to speak up, and speak up when it's needed to stay silent.

Rampage may very well outstrike Machida
I think Machida will keep it on the feet, and I think Rampage has a great shot at out striking him. I don’t think Machida has slipped per say but I do think he is fighting different after taking a beating from Shogun. Rampage will find some holes, land the big shots and capitalize.
If, and that’s a big if, Rampage’s head is right going into the fight.
If Machida fights the way he usually did pre-Shogun II
He should have this. He can’t be impatient and he can’t be pressured to fight a different method because other people are telling him to do otherwise. Play his game, make Rampage fight his fight.
Hopefully he’s realized an aggressive Machida isn’t the best Machida, just because his striking style is meant for countering and not for aggression. Last time he tried it, I saw Machida getting Machida’d by Shogun’s fist. BOOM! Head shot.

He had to switch it up for Shogun because Shogun already had 25 minutes of getting his timing down. Outside of a wild punch, there is no way in hell Rampage wins this. Machida is an awful, awful fight for him.
"There's this image that you have, this interior image of something that's absolutely perfect, and that's your signpost, your guide. And you'll never get there. But without it you'll never get anywhere."
Rampage has no chance here,
Aside from the outside possibilty of Machida tripping over his own feet and falling into one of Rampages plodding strikes.
I know he has a huge fan base & is a good draw, but unless he is protected from the best LHWs (Machida, Shogun, Jones, Anderson and the like), his days of winning are behind him.
He can still be competitive in the 2nd tier (Rashad, Franklin, Griffin, Bader, T. Silva and the like).
Not a popular view I know, but reality will intrude at some point for everyone else.

Are you serious ???? Rampage has no chance ??? Rampage has ....
…. just as good of a shot at winning this fight as Machida . Neithers style is good for the other fighter ( Rampages boxing offense & defense …. Machidas elusive style ) and this is going to come down to one thing , can Machida elude Rampage for three rounds ? My guess is no . I think Rampage will catch him and KO him . That being said I could also see Machida winning via decision . His style gives everyone issues . But to say any fighter has no chance in this sport is ridiculous . I guess Frankie Edgar should have just stayed at home for those BJ Penn fights too ?

Rampage has no chance IMO.
This is either a squash match with Machida doing said squashing or it’ll be boring do to Machida refusing to engage due to some post-KO timidity.
It will be interesting to see how Machida deals with coming off of his first loss though.
I think you’re right, and I think it’s actually good for him to have finally gotten a loss. A little pressure off of him, and the perfect opponent. My only concern is that Rampage’s head is a lump of iron ore. I think Machida can drop him, but he’ll probably have to choke him out to finish him.
What's this war in the heart of nature? Why does nature vie with itself? The land contend with the sea? Is there an avenging power in nature? Not one power, but two?

This fight is set up for Rampage to lose Machida’s stlye is 100& perfect to beat Rampage’s. Wonder if it is because they see Rampage might be on his way out? But with that said I hope Page KTFO Machida.
I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!
Holy shit the above post is awful. I’m kinda drunk, sorry.

Being drunk is no excuse...
for supporting Rampage.
I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.

Actually
Aside from being a friend, training partner or family, being drunk is the only excuse…

Ami the only one noticing that Gerald Harris is at the very bottom of the undercard? Travesty.
by ssstute89 on Oct 1, 2010 8:50 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
I was just going to post this, I dont get it, at least put him in a main event on spike. The man is exciting, why waste him as an opener?
by bloodyhellbow on Oct 1, 2010 8:55 PM EDT up reply actions
I can't think of anything, MMA-wise...
that would make me happier than Machida KOing Rampage resulting is some leg twitching, then a quick camera pan to a smiling, laughing Rashad Evans…and I don’t even particularly like Rashad.
I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.
It was the reporter dry humping...
that started me on the path to hating Rampage…and his recent game of hating the UFC whenever he isn’t being coddled by Dana doesn’t help much.
I like Fedor, it’s just his fans that are intolerable...and his management.
Maybe Dana will reward him for this fight
By feeding him to Jon Jones. Perfect way to get Jones the “name” win he needs, and to show how far from the top Rampage really is.

BJ is favoured?
How is that? I don’t even like Hughes and I know BJ is preparing for title matches these days by ‘resting hard". I’ll take hughes thanks
The UFC has altered the bout order slightly on their event page,
and although the Spike prelims haven’t been announced yet, the first five fights are now:
Rampage vs. Machida
Penn vs. Hughes
Harris vs. Falcao
Davis vs. Boetsch
Lauzon vs. Sotiropoulos
Followed by:
Simpson-Munoz
MacDonald-Brown
So it’s now looking like Harris will (deservedly) get a main card spot, while the Spike prelims will have Simpson-Munoz and MacDonald-Brown, but again, this NOT confirmed.
Forever will be a Rampage Fan
Cause he is the guy who got me into watching MMA, definitely pulling for him.
Knocking out Chuck helped a little too. >:)
Readys Flame shield
God-dangit
I knew letting myself become fans of so many people was going to hurt me down the line when they have to fight each other.
I usually try to root for the guy I like/am more familiar with, or agains thte guy I dislike.
119 had fights like Serra-Lytle and Bader-Nog where I didn’t really want to root for either. Similar thing with Lesnar-Carwin, Lesnar-Velasquez, and the winner of that-Dos Santos.
Now Rampage and Machida have to fight. I say that Machida getting knocked out will only make him go back to and adhere to his elusive-counter style that he had before the 2nd Shogun fight…he might mix in more clinch-takedowns in order to try and throw his opponents off more.
CPG
I like Rampage
but does anyone think he is just going to get out pointed and lose badly by decision?
That's exactly what I think will happen.
Machida is the worst style matchup for Page in the whole division.
