K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 10

Well, we are another week closer until Mr. Rampage Jackson steps back in the cage. These last couples of weeks have been pretty quiet, at least on his end. Aside for a few “yo momma” jokes on twitter, he hasn’t said much about the fight or his training. I’m sure this means that his training is going well and is fully focused on the task at hand.

As far as the fight goes, Machida has some interesting events. It appears he came to the states and did a few weeks of training with Mike Swick at the American Kickboxing Academy. After the 2 loses he probably came to realize he may need to mix up training a bit. I hope Rampage is doing the same with his training. I don’t think there is such a thing as being over prepared for an opponent and hopefully Rampage’s camp is covering every angle possible in these weeks leading up to the fight.

UFC did release the official the promo for the fight, so as long as no one gets injured in training, all systems are go. Being that I have already booked my flight, room & have my ticket, nothing better stop this fight from happening. My heart just couldn’t take it.

Well, that’s it for me. In case you haven’t seen it I will post the promo for all eyes to see. Don’t forget to check back on Wednesday (http://wommanthoughts.blogspot.com or http://fisttacuff.com) for the TUF 12 recap. We got you covered if you’ve missed the show. As always you can also check us out on twitter (@woMMAn) for the latest happenings. We welcome predictions, comments, whatever you want. We always respond and always have something to say. Keep it real people…until the next time.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 8

All right people, book the flight, book the hotel because it is happening! Tickets for Rampage's next fight have gone on sale. The fight will be in Detroit at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Novemeber 20th. I can't even express how excited I am.  Even though Rampage is going into this fight as the underdog, I'm staying on the positive side. The one fact that anyone can't deny is that this will be a great fight. Machida is anxious to get a winning streak going again and everybody knows that Rampage is salty from losing his last fight and wants redemption. Rampage has stated that he started his training camp early and stayed in shape from his last fight. He also said that "Every single minute of this camp will be focused on technique, not getting back in shape or shaking the ring rust after a long time off." I personally can't wait to the trash talk tweets to begin. He has thrown in a few here and there, but I'm sure as the fight gets closer he will have more to say. Now, just don't get to distracted by the trash talk Rampage. I know when this fight comes you'll be ready to go to war and you'll send this girl back to San Diego very happy. No pressure Rampage but it will be my birthday weekend, so that should give you that little extra motivation.

This card is impressive, so if your not on the Rampage train like me, there is plenty of other great fights to be pumped about. There is the 3rd fight between Hughes and Penn, Munoz vs Aaron Simpson and the return of Karo Parisyan. Other fighters rumored to be on the card are Lauzon, Sotiropoulos, Matt Brown, Phil Davis and Tyson Griffin.

Well that's it for me people. Don't forget that today kicks off fight week. We have a new episode on Wednesday of The Ultimate Fighter and on Saturday we have UFC 119. Got to love it!! I'll be back next week with another Rampage thought and don't forget to check out my TUF recap after the show. Until then....adieu.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 6

Yes folks, it’s Monday and it is that time for another weekly Rampage thought. I am in week 6 of this and have 10 more weeks until my favorite fighter steps back into the cage. Now I have been patiently waiting for the announcement of where this fight will be taking place. Finally the answer came in and this fight will happen in Detroit on November 20th. Besides the excitement of this fight I couldn’t be happier that the weigh ins will take place on my birthday! Yup, happy birthday to me. Ok, back on track. From what I’ve read, it seems as if people are not giving Rampage much of a chance against Machida. Now I am a fan of Machida’s just as much as anyone else but he is not super human. Shogun proved that it is possible to beat him and even exposed some weaknesses. Rampage can defiantly capitalize on these, plus we all know that Rampage has great knockout power. Both of these guys are coming off big losses and have a big point to prove with this fight. I don’t see why it’s such a big reach to think that Rampage actually has a chance. I can be the first to admit that Rampage didn’t look his best when he fought Rashad, I mean I was there to witness and it was heartbreaking. However, he is not going into this fight with the same distractions, such as filming a movie. He can solely concentrate on his training. In his recent tweets he has said that he has begun his training in Huntington Beach at the new Ultimate Gym. This excites me! Not only is he training close to me, but he is getting down to business. Work on everything you can Rampage. Prove all the haters wrong and show that there is never a reason to question your heart. Besides, a victory on your part would be the ultimate birthday present.


Well this week I kept it short and sweet. See you next week with another thought. I always have something to say.
