Gegard Mousasi vs. Rampage Jackson
As these two square off, Rampage comes in a tiny bit less healthy, and noticably less conditioned. Stamina'ed. Whatever you want to call it.
But Rampage's power has held up, and if he strikes at Gegard early, Gegard might not have a chance to take advantage of his advantages.
The history of these Last Man Standings seems to suggest at this phase, Gegard has a HUGE probability of winning, but in ManMMA, NOTHING is guaranteed.
