[@willi6880]

Met Randleman in Vegas, one of the NICEST most respectful fighters I've EVER met. Truly a loss that he's no longer here.

[@whatyaworkingontoday5018]

Yes he was! And yes it is! He could have seriously physically hurt many but didn't. I think he was driven by the competition more than the trophies, those were for others around him.

As an almost 40 year old mma enthusiast these were the golden days, maybe just nostalgia at work...

[@acheucheu]

I am of the same opinion :) But I'm not sure it's only due to nostalgia

[@blitheringrando1410]

I didn't watch pride originally. I think it was just great competitors with good promotion and compelling fights. The brutal fighting allowing soccer kicks makes it really feel dangerous. There were a lot of strikers too it seems.

[@moustachio334]

Golden days they were. The ufc never does point reductions for fighters intentionally stalling fights. Pride was much more exciting

I remember pride would air on sundays. 4 hour events. The quit crowd and how you can hear everything. Way ahead of its time.

To this day, watching Pride makes me feel anxious like I'm watching a real fight. I haven't had that feeling with the ufc since like 1996.

Quinton was in awesome shape. They don't call Randleman the monster for nothing. Either one of these men can end a fight as quick as the other. Knees we're the factor. They were both prepared. Rampage was faster and more effective. This might not happen every time they'd fight. But the better man won tonight. Salute👏

[@aegisreflector1239]

This was Rampage in his prime. Iv never seen him fight this dynamic.

[@jeffgillson]

Rampage was a LOT bigger. Randleman should have been fighting at about 185 but he juiced himself to the gills because to make decent money then you had to fight at heavyweight.

[@aegisreflector1239]

@@jeffgillson I agree.

[@daniel213141]

@@jeffgillson Good point. Rampage was easily 240 to 260 in between fights. I think this fight was 205 which is heavy for Randleman but light for Rampage.

[@brians3957]

@@jeffgillson Indeed! Thank you for saying this! An athlete that is naturally bigger will have the skeleton and bone structure that a juiced athelete simply will not have. Yes, Randleman may have weighed as much as Rampage, but he was juiced to the gills and did not have the bone structure to go along with that weight. Look at the grappling exchange between him and Fedor on the ground, yes he slammed Fedor because of his immense explosive power, but on the ground Fedor easily swept him and submitted him. Fedor has a way bigger natural frame ( I have met both of them in person) and that goes a LONG way in strength.

[@southchum101]

The Grand Prix in pride was awesome. Just back to back fights until the last man standing. The UFC would never do that, imagine Conor McGregor fighting, 3 top opponents in a row all in the same day. Crazy times.

[@davidr4523]

I can' t believe that Randleman with his world class wrestling skills could not take Rampage to the ground.

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

Because he relied too much on his strength and wrestling, Rampage is overall better and know how to block Randlemans tools. Also you could see all that extra muscle mass was making him tired.
