K*Lovelys TEAM RAMPAGE BLOG week 8

Well who would have thought that Team Rampage’s last hope for their only win would come down to Big Baby. This is life’s way of just mocking me completely.

As usual the episode starts of recapping what happened in the last fight. There is something that still baffles me & that is why these guys are so damn tired in there. Both fighters were exhausted after 2 rounds. How would they ever survive 5 rounds if it came to that? Come on boys…work on that cardio!!! AS much as I would have like to see a 3rd round from Scott & Matt…it just wasn’t in the cards for Team Rampage. Then the focus is turned to Rampage & how he dismantled the door. As sick as it may sound I was slightly turned on (I kid…but not really!) Maybe this says a lot about me but I completely understand why he took his frustrations out on that door. Sometimes it’s hard to find a focus and learn how to channel your anger correctly, and you could clearly see it was something later on he was embarrassed by.

Now what kills me was Rashad talking his trash about that. This is coming from a guy who took off 1 of his shoes because he couldn’t take Rampage in his face talking shit. Who just takes off 1 shoe?! Come on now Rashad, take a look back at the way you’ve handled things before you talk trash about Rampage’s mini fit. Moving on….

Now I just absolutely love how Marcus is. His excitement for the sport and his willingness to just shut up & learn is great. I think that kind of attitude will carry him far & it’s certainly something a lot of people could learn from. There is no way he can change his image after everyone saw how scared he was of that bug! I will give him this, that bug was pretty nasty!

Marcus Jones vs Michael Wessel

In the beginning of the round Michael comes out and lands the first blow. Marcus is able to land some good shots, but is also throwing some wild punches. The mistake comes from Wessel when he tries to trip up Marcus. With Marcus’s size he was able to shake that off and get Wessel down & lands right on top of him. Wessel then gives Marcus his back but Marcus can’t sink in the choke. Wessel maneuvers his way back on top, but out of now where Marcus sinks in a nice armbar and fight is over. Finally a win for Team Rampage!! Sorry Rashad no sweep for your team.

Now the time has come to pick the fights for the quarterfinals. As you see Rashad has to start talking trash to Rampage. From the looks of it everyone see Darrill or John as an easy way to get themselves to the semifinals. Marcus is the only that comes in & really doesn’t care & leaves it up to his coach to pick his fight. The breakdown comes to this

Roy Nelson vs Justin Wren
Brendan Schaub vs Jon Madsen
James McSweeney vs Matt Mitrione
Marcus Jones vs Darrill Schoonover

Now Rashad really worked my nerves at the end of this episode. Actually he pissed me off!! First came the remark about Rampage and the fact that Dana let him pick the fight for Marcus. He said it is a privilege & that he hasn’t earned it. WHAT?!!!? If you ask me Marcus had one of the most exciting finishes on the whole show. He did earn it! Just because you have more fighters in the quarterfinals doesn’t make you god. That was bitch move #1. Now bitch move #2 comes when he starts to ask Team Rampage to help train his team. I have no problem with the fact that he asked. The problem came when he asked the guys and they didn’t want to have anything to do with it, all he could result too is bashing Rampage once again! He thought that the guys from Team Rampage would jump at the chance to go over to his team & that was a blow to his ego that the team stuck by their coach. Maybe if he had kept his mouth shut the other team would have been more willing to help out the other team. This is something I’ve said the entire show…if Rampage would have done that everybody would have been on the internet & twitter talking shit about Rampage. As you see Rampage and his team walk away and head to locker rooms and who has to follow behind talking trash, yes Rashad. Then he can’t handle it when Rampage gets back in his face & has something to say. Now Rampage is certainly not as quick with the comebacks, but he did have Rashad fall for the whole sucker line. That was some funny shit!

Stayed tuned people, I know we have been out for a while but we are back! Look forward to more blogs and we can’t wait to hear what you have to say!!
