Wow. Rampage was unstoppable tonight. Even after Randy Couture steamrolled the competition, Rampage steamrolled him. It's all about steam and rolling guys!
Again, due to the damage sustained collectively over their previous fights, I can't comment on fighter needs. Even if it was minimal damage, it adds up over 4 fights in 1 night. CRAZY!!!
