Another Monday upon us and so that means it’s time for another weekly Rampage thought. This week has been pretty quiet as far as news goes. No one has pissed him off or complained about something that he has done so all is right in the world. Well, at least for this week. If you follow him on twitter, he has said that he is visiting South Africa and then a quick trip to Japan. After his vacation he will get to the hustle and begin his training for the Machida match up in November.
There were some rumors buzzing around that this fight might be held in Chicago but UFC put those rumors to rest. Chicago was considered for UFC 123 but it looks like UFC will not be visiting the windy city until 2011. Bummer for them. You know UFC, San Diego would love for that fight to happen here. I thought we treated you well when you brought the Versus show here at the beginning of the month. Give us another shot. Matter of fact I will offer up my services. I can personally make sure Rampage gets to all of his appearances, press conferences, workouts, weigh ins, etc. Just a little something to think about.
Now I did happen to see something about Rampage that made me giggle. Bleacher Report did an article on the 10 craziest MMA fighters. Rampage came in at number 8, mostly for backing out of the Rashad fight to pursue the A-Team movie and of course that little incident he had. You know the hit and run and police pursuit thing he was involved in. Everybody has bad days people, but to call him “bat-crazy” is a little harsh. I think “slightly off” that day fits much better and the movie thing shouldn’t even be mentioned. He was listed among others like Tito Ortiz, Brock Lesnar, Lee Murray & Jesse Taylor. All of those fighters seem to have much bigger issues than Rampage…don’t you think?
Well that’s it for me my people. Hope everyone has a wonderful week and don’t forget to watch the big WEC Cruz vs Benavidez fight on Wednesday. That fight card is stacked and should make for some incredible fights.

K*Lovely's Weekly Rampage Thought wk 2
Another week gone by, which means it’s time for another weekly Rampage thought. Unfortunately, no confirmed news on the location of where his next fight will be but Rampage did manage to make news again. Rampage made some waves with a little spat he’s having with the rapper The Game. Apparently The Game is still butt hurt that he didn’t get the B.A. part in the A-team. This little battle between them has been going on for a little while but I thought it would be over once the movie came out. C’mon now Game…stop this. First off, why are you going to mess with a man that gets paid to fight inside a cage? You may be hard, but Rampage will knock your ass out! You deserve to be on Ed Lover’s next episode of C’mon Son. He just sounds real foolish right now. You may nailed the audition, grew a mohawk, bought some bling and all that jazz, but it was someone else’s decision to cast him. Rampage didn’t force anyone to give him that part. You thought you had it in the bag but you didn’t. Like they say, that’s show biz! Maybe hire Rampage’s agent. After all you think he stole that part, hire the people that helped make that happen. Basically just do something else because, in my opinion, you look chumpish.
Now Rampage got wind of the smack talk The Game was doing and actually challenged him to a “spar session” Don’t waste your time with it Rampage. He’ll talk some more crap for a little while and then he’ll kick rocks. You just do you until it’s time to get down to training for your next fight. Let that be your main focus. Not some rapper who still salty over a movie part. People are always looking for a reason to make you look weak, don’t give them any fuel by wasting any more time on this non sense. You don’t need to defend yourself on this matter. Now for your sake Game, don’t respond to the challenge. Just go back in the studio and make another CD. After all I miss your rhymes.
Well that’s it for me my peeps. Remember to keep checking back, every Monday will be a new “thought” until the week of Rampage’s next fight. You know me; I always have something to say. TALK HARD!

K*Lovely's weekly Rampage Thought
Hello World!!! It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me but now, get ready to get your fill. Beginning this week I will have a weekly “thought” leading up to my favorite fighter’s next fight. That’s right RAMPAGE!!! No one was happier to hear him confirm his next fight and it will happen on November 20th, the day after my birthday. His next opponent is no walk in the park. He is up against Lyoto Machida. There is a rumor that this fight will happen in Germany, but that has not been confirmed. I really don’t care where the fight happens. I have missed him dearly and can’t wait for his return. I have all the confidence in the world that he can pull off a victory. A true fan never loses faith.
Now this week it seems, once again people are drinking their haterade and have nothing but negative comments about him. Apparently Rampage did an interview stating that if acting paid him either equal or greater amount as fighting did, he would quit fighting. I’ve read article after article that interpret that means he has no heart for fighting and is only in it for a paycheck. To them I say….SHUT THE HELL UP!!! First off if you believe everything you read from an article you’re a dumb ass. Writers misinterpret things all the time and often leave things out. Secondly, this man has a family to support and take care of. That is a responsibility that has to be handled much longer than a career in fighting. Getting punched in the face, kicked in the body, and slammed on a map is not something you can do forever. Who wouldn’t give up something to get paid big bucks for reading some lines off a script and saying them in front of a camera? If you say “not me” than you’re either lying to yourself, or you’re just a fool. Nobody loves seeing this man fight inside a cage more than me, but I completely understand where he’s coming from. Look at the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He was in wrestling and gave that up for acting. Now look at him. He has made successful movies, very recognized, is still in great shape, and people love him. Please don’t try and say he’s a better actor than Rampage either. Neither one of them is ever going to win an Oscar, so just kill that noise before you even begin.
Don’t listen Rampage! As long as I can see you do your thing, whether it is in a cage or a movie screen, I’ll be one happy girl. Besides I think the less damage to that handsome face of yours the better.
Well, that’s my 2 cents for this week folks. I’ll be back next week with more thoughts of the happenings of Rampage. Stay tuned cause this girl always has something to say. Until then I bid you adieu.
