Rampage Hints Future Opponent on Twitter

Rampage on Twitter:

Rampage4real almost ready 2 sign the bout agreement! i would tell yall who im gonna get down with,but i cant spell his name....hahaha

I'm thinking we're gonna get Rampage vs. Soszynski. Meh. While I think that logic tells that Rampage will need an easier fight next, I would think that Sos would be much of a stepdown in competition. At least give Rampage a guy who is coming off a win, maybe the winner of Jones/Matyushenko. For a guy who was decisioned by Vera and TKOed by Bonnar, Rampage is just too much for Sos to handle. Personally, I think Rampage handpicked his opponent this time, ensuring a bounce back to victory path. Thoughts?

Cyrille Diabate?

I mean, that’s kinda tough to spell, and he’s a striker coming off a good win. Would make sense.

Nice catch

I hadn’t thought of Diabate. I’ll stand corrected if that would be the case.

He’s fighting Gustafsson at UFC 120.

comprehension fail

I thought you meant Rampage vs. Gustafsson. It’s Diabate vs. Gustafsson. My bad.

I’d like to see that one. But Rampage might have a tough time spelling a lot of names if he’s in “Rampage” mode. Quinton is probably substantially brighter.

You might be right, but Rampage like to "Uncle Tom" it up and play dumber than who he actually is

so he could be refering to “Nogueira” or “Diabate” or even “Griffin” or “Jones”. With Rampage, who knows.

Cause there's only one, and that's me
You understand? for all that fighting, you understand
That sucka think he good, that sucka think he can whoop me
And i know he can't whoop me, Ay boy, the n**** whole style is chump

Good call

although I don’t think Dana can bully Rampage as much as any other low-tier fighters just because of a “hint” (which can be reliable or not, it’s Rampage after all).
