What a douche. Is rory serious? Fuck off
If Rory goes up to Heavyweight, Rampage fatson better retire because he's too lazy and undisciplined to fight a wrestler with a jab.
Rory vs Chael at LHW, make it happen!
Lol one punch knock out for rampage Rory isn't even that great completely overrated Tyron would ko him now he is a complete idiot his skill stack up against heavyweight what an idiot
Some crazy dudes believing that rory could defeat rampage…Crazy motherfuckers!!!Rory got asswhooped by Mousasi at middleweight and now he thinks that he could beat a light heavyweight or a heavy weight?He's totally out of his mind
We recently saw how Rory performs against bigger fighters, Rampage was right af
Ffw to Mousasi… ninja roll for take down elbow elbow blood elbow
He is the Ultimate Roryor for a reason folks.
rampage is getting old
Rampage can always pulled off with something funny. Love it. Just say you're broke.
Man just say I'm broke
Rory could easily make HW, but being successful at it might be a challenge for the king of WW
Rory doesn't seem to be thinking straight. UFC beginning were Small dudes with BJJ experience vs big dudes who never heard of BJJ. The game has changed and everyone knows the basics of all styles. Rory is struggling to beat guys at 170 and when he does he gets injured badly. At HW the injuries will be 10 times worse. Rampage being smarter than Rory here.
What if??? Rory is a bad dude..
Love ya Page. You better laugh off the guys that will take you down, though.
he can do it
Rory would straight kioll rampage
He does make sense when he says he could probably beat Chael though cause I think he could Chael was a 185er his like whole career n just beat Rampage. I think he would be in trouble against a guy like Mitrione though who is athletic and hits Hard. Rory has never taken a shot from a HW so who knows.
old man jackson aka pumpkin head country redneck from kentucky would get slaughtered by rory…
I think Rampage vs Roy Nelson would be very interesting. At least the thought of it is.
Rampage hasn't won a fight since the day of Pride. Today's fighters are more advanced and you won't be able to slap them like you did back in the 90's.
Rampage laughing at Rory when Rampage is only a one trick pony.
chael is a madman,but not the greatest in light hw or middle but wrecks rory 10/10
Rampage shouldn't talk about anyone.He is done and cant accept it.The fight with Chael was horrible and explains why he could never see the UFC cage again.
Rampage the real OG of interviews
If chael can he can shut him up supa fast
id say rory could beat most men 206-265lbs but very few pro fighters at that weight.
I am a huge rampage fan, however get real rampage you are fat,slow and time has passed you by. After seeing you fight Chael the other night you need retire and stick to playing video games.
Rory would destroy present day Rampage. Rampage doesn't move at all and there is zero danger of a take down from him. Rory could just pick him off one shot at a time.
Rory would need to gain 40lbs plus ….absolutly impossible without roids
Lol rampage be clowning fools
Go Rory you can do it Bruce lee style homie do it!!
Rory got up to around 205lbs off healthy weight and muscle for the bj penn fight before he cut, he’s 6’0 with a 6’4 reach, I don’t see why he couldn’t compete with heavyweights, he’s be so much faster punch almost as hard, and have a better arsenal
Never fight an ugly dude, he has nothing to lose
Rory would smash all those old men lol. Weight isn't most important factor
Rory looks like a school shooter. Any moment he could snap watch out folks.
The bigger they are …..
Cadanian Psyco
Rampage can't fight off his back so he can at least beat him
Except that one of them won a fight…. and the other didn't.
Rory has the skill but size matters. A heavy punch from Rory would bounce off a heavyweights chin. A punch from a heavyweight that half ass glances Rory's chin ends the fight and crushes his jaw bone. Fighting a guy like Matt metrone isn't a good idea even if Rory can bulk up to a measly 205lbs. A guy like Roy Nelson he may be able to out maneuver and beat him from distance using speed and mobility. Eventually though heavyweights with quicker strikes than Roy can deliver would connect on Rory.
Rampage doesn't know who rory is hahaha
Rampage would literally rape Rory.
Rory is full of shit. Chael would fuck him.
I think Rory only has a couple beatdowns left in him. Kid has been in some wicked wars, I feel he needs to focus on not getting hit so much, kids got skills for days.
I appreciate Rory's guts and actually believe he could beat a number of light heavy and heavyweights on the roster. That being said, however, I hope he stops talking like this. Rory still has the potential to be one of, if not the greatest welterweight of all time. He's still only 28! He has at least another 6-8 years of peak performance in him. With GSP as a training partner, Faraz as his coach, and with the right mentality he could clean out Bellator until his contract is up and then force the UFC to take him back by simply being the baddest man in the division, regardless of organization. He pieced up the current champ. His latest performance, to me, shows that he has the tenacity to get back in there with Lawler (who is not the same since getting KTFO by Woodley) and he's more active and well-rounded than Wonderboy. If he can secure the takedown against him in a rematch Wonderboy is effed. I honestly think Rory had very little motivation for that fight anyways.
Rampage would not beat Rory now. 10 years ago different story, he is no where near his prime and he hasn't looked good lately and I love rampage. Rory would win, and spare me the "you know nothing about MMA" I am well aware of the importance of weight classes, however when you age and gain weight that isn't necessarily for the better.
I always liked Rory, especially after he fought Lawler the second time, but his stock just went up incredibly in my eyes. He’s ready to jump in with Fedor and Frank Mir. That’s bananas and reflects an incredible level of courage. I’d love to see that.
Rory McDonald is by far one of the dangerous welterweights on the planet.
Rampage is the funniest in mma
After doing some calculations from last night's fights i have concluded that Rory would wrestle fuck rampage and KO sonnen
lima was cheated. lima should have won, he battered rory sensless. He alos counters his lay and pray bullshit in round 3 but stupdi ref stood them up so he still lost round .. but allows rory to lie on top of lima fro 3 full round and doenst stand them up.. what bs is that???? lima looks fresh, and rory cant even walk and his face is ruined.. fucking corrupted bastards..
Rampage? dude needs to retire he looked really bad against chael. he was bloated, looked old and walked like Frankenstein he was flat footed with no energy.. all he had was a durable head.
I like Rory but dude couldent stand after Lima and he had no clue what year it was after the Robbie fight a heavyweight hitting him like mitrione….
I'm surprised more people don't want to see old school big guy v small guy
Never seen someone cut themselves so much shaving, what u use? a weedwacker? lol
Rampage is the man lol
Rory would kill Rampage.
Not with a broken leg Rory.
Dude looks like marylon Manson.
Keep laughing Rampage. You have lost the last two fights. Why don't you in shape and win a fight instead of judging real fighters.
Rory McDonald would kick rampages ass
Rorys legg was so destroyed by Douglas lima they had to carry rory out of the arena! NASTY NASTY looking legg
''Man just say im broke''
LOL gotta love Rampage
Rampage is funny but I'd put money on Rory if that fight happened.
Rory Mac competed at Metamoris 5 at a bit over 200 lbs… He cuts a lot to make the welterweight fights!
Rory macdonald is no joke man. That guy is the best Welterweight walking the planet today. Better than Woodley Lawler RDA MVP GSP Lima. Doesn't matter who it is Macdonald is better.
For you morons saying Rory could best rampage his grappling would be nullified at the shear size and strength of rampage heavy weights are Giants compared to the guys at 170 hed have to jump 40 pounds up that's not healthy and he ain't be able to carry the weight well due to his smaller bones and body frame hed get knocked out.
Boys Don't Sleep on rampage and chael they both could still beat Rory but the odds are stacked against them chael is dangerous with takedowns and rampage can finish on the feet
rampage has the foot work of a fucking tortoise
Lol that was funny because rampage knew they were right when they said if Chael could do it then he could do it
That is a sign of high T.
That is a sign of high T. Seriously.
rampage should just be a improv comedian and whoop ass on the side lol
He looks like the tall version of chad mendes
rory would be too quick for the hw division honestly weight doesn mean alot in fights but not unless its some fucken sumo wrestler against skinny ass dude than it just comes down to weight vs skill .
Game plan to beat rampage ground game that’s it
Rampage has great comedic timing
Rampage looks like a fluffy turd!
I love rampage but Rory is just too skilled
I bet Rory looks exactly like Marilyn Manson with the goth makeup on. And he'd prob do alright against heavier guys because he's highly skilled even compared to other MMA fighters.
I support Rory. He would do ok
Rory is a real one Rampage .. Be careful, he'll take your health.
Roy would be a great 205er if he could Lose that big belly he’s got a little buggy whip on them as I don’t know where the power comes from it must be the Momentum from his belly swinging as he moves
Rory beats his meat, not rampage
Rory would destroy any opposition
You cant even beat an old Robbie
jajajajjajajaj…
Rumble was a WW at one time, if he was in this HW tourney, he would be a favorite to win it… damn I wish Rumble was in this tourney!
YOU WHITE PEOPLE ARE STUPID,ROBBIE BEAT THA SHIT OUT OF HIM AND RAMPAGE WOULD RAPE LAWYER.STFU RORY!RESPECT BUT THERE TO BIG.PERIOD!
Rampage funny af, but Rory was 4real
Haha Rampage used the perfect fighter as an example. I remember the tuf season where roy nelson was on rashad evans team. Rampage was the other coach. He was mad that roy nelson was so big that he controlled Kimbo slice on the ground.
Rory best fighter in beletor
Lmaooooo rampage
Never EVER doubt Rory … He's a Savage
"He said if Chael can do it." Rampage "ahh well……" hahahahahaahahahahaha
lol he acts like Rory is a flyweight when he easily walks around 205 and is probly the same height as him not to mention his cardio is one thousand times better
Kirk Lazarus I don't think he will have the same amount of cardio carrying atleast 40pounds more.
I think he'd beat Rampage or Sonnen tbh
Chael would crush this pimple faced dork
rampage would breaks rorys face worst than lawler did…and with 1 shot
Rampage is so funny to me xD
Now I want to see Rory VS Roy so badly.
He broke.
Rory is a straight up beast but hw come on!He would die if any of them landed a decent clean shot on his chops! I got mad respect though! At least he'll be the Champ on sat!
Rory won't even get pass lima let alone rampage
Rory would kill Fat old Rampage. Prime Rampage would be a diff story.
Rampage would get worked by Rory
How does rampage not know what weight welterweight is. That’s so weird.
Rory would break bitch ass rampage
RORY IS SMOKING METH… JUDGING BY HIS FUCKED UP TEETH DISCOLORATION AND HIS DUMB ASS COMMENTS ABOUT FIGHTING HEAVYWEIGHTS.
Rory Mac would whoop Rampage's ass.
Rory is so uncool I just want to punch him in the face. Loved when Lawler pushed his nose in. Shut up Rory. Bellators finest lmao
1000x times cooler then you are, and id love to see you try and punch Rory in the Face Lmao…
Karen Bryant was born a man.
People who think Rory would beat him are fucking retarded. There are weight classes for a reason.
Rory would def be the most technical fighter.
you guys seriously underestimating Rampage's old school wrestling. you say Rory will beat him on the ground…. who says the fight will go to the ground??? Rampage has got great wrestling and using it against a 170 lb. will make it even easier. and real talk Chael has a much more chance of beating rampage than Rory and I do respect Rory a lot, but Chael can take down men in his weight division, he's used to carrying that weight without getting tired or gased… as you can see in the Wanderlei fight he kept shooting and shooting and his cardio was working great. Imagine Rory being used to taking down 170lbs and trying to shoot for a takedown on Rampage (around 240lbs?) if he fails to take him down once he will get GASED if he takes him down once and doesnt finish the fight and they stand up he will be GASED.
Size matters people, period. If you disagree, your in denial. And probably about 13 y/o mentally…
rory looks like i dubbz
Rory is all talked! There is a reason why they have weigh-class idiot. He cant beat lawler what makes him think he can go with the big boys?
Rory will certainly destroy Rampage.
HW's know that a loss to a welterweight contender would Ether their entire exitence…
I wouldn't be surprised if Rory beat all of them
Mad respect for rory
Rory with hair or no hair looks like killer psychopath
way to go Rory
Hes 6'2 with a 76 inch reach. Thats more than Quintons 6'0 72 inch reach. Quinton is a small heavyweight too.
Bret .Frankman height reach and size are completely different things lol Rory is a very slender man the Heavyweights would crush him
He's 263!
Bret, you are a nonsensical piece of shit. Per Sherdog stats, Rory is 5'11.
Isn’t this guy like 170lbs ? What the fuck he smoking on ? Rory is fucking delusional.
how you gonna get the moon offa you?!
All the other fighters are washed up 45 year olds.. he'd win
I reckon Rory would do well.
Just saying Rory looks different after his last UFC fight
I doubt he can even beat Chael.
If he did compete in the hw grand prix, it would be historic!
Chael would smash you, and it's Mr. Sonnen to you!!
Rory would mangle Rampage
Quinton " what's welterweight" Jackson. Fat fucking slob.
HAHAHAHA!!!! Lawler cracked your shit up and knocked you out and you want to fight big dudes with more punching power? GTFOH…
He'd kill lawler now
You sound like a angry dick rider lmao
Well fuck, Rory is as tall as Rampage and Chael, within 2cm. Bout 15-16kg weight difference. It aint THAT crazy.
Best WW in the world.
Win the WW belt first
Rory at heavyweight I'd watch that.
CTE brain damage , bro .
He couldn't hack the ufc and now he wants the HW GP. Robbie Lalour must have given him brain damage.
rampage would win the whole prix. He has the same height and reach as me. 1 inch taller height thats it
Rory's first shave?
Rory would murder Chael
Rory has zero fear
Rory would literally dismantle rampage on every level lol
Anthony Johnson was a welter weight too.
Kibbie Lou yeah good point but I dont see it possible for rory.
N.H Your power is the last thing to go he Woodland one right hook and put that kid to sleep
Brodie TUF That does not mean size doesn’t matter that just means those guys were able to overcome
Brodie TUF Your high size is always a factor some guys can overcome it but it’s always a factor
Look at Gegard Moussasi vs Mark Hunt.
Rory stay in ya lane son
lololol guys delusional… he always fights smaller opponents.. and he only fights like once a year .
Stfu weirdo lawler fucked you up
Rampage funny AF!!
Rampage is the shit..
Pride never die mother fuckers
Rory is on the juice. He’s to old to be having acne.
lol you know nothing
i thought that too. how the f a grown ass man get so many zits?
I agree with Rory100%.. people wanna see more of skill vs size/strength
who got some pecan pie?
I would laugh at it but Rory is of another breed mentally and physically. And like previous people said, he'd be a comfortable 205 lbs or so.
He would get killed
It funny because there arent any "real" hw in this turnament exept someone
123 456 mitrioni, nelson and fedor are the heavyweights the rest are lightweight…. unless I'm missing someone I'm super.high.
123 456 Mir, two time hw champ not a hw? Mir is back on trt, he'd destroy him easily.
You sound stupid
Lmao foreal tho. He going broke
if u want to remodel your boatrace ,go see a plastic surgeon
rory is a dangerous guy. one of the best ever
rampage is awesome.forgot how much i missed him.
McDonald is a straight killer and incredibly talented at martial arts. He's constantly focused and if anyone could hold their own against heavyweights then its him in my opinion.
rory is way to small dont matter about his skills u would get slept hard by anyone of these guys punches besides chaels punch
I think he could beat a few of the guys, maybe Chael or Rampage, but Mitrione or Bader would eat his lunch imo.
Rory is one of my fav fighters. He's a straight up killer.
go back to the old days of boxing . Jack Dempsey vs Jess Willard … or Max Baer and they where heavyweights fighting much larger men . Rampage is thicker then Rory in Stature but the heights the same. if rampage connected it would be worse than Lawler. not saying Rory can't out skill him and maybe out work him to a decision . moral of the story fans , amature commentators , spectators … there's so many variables in the Mma game . anything can happen .
Rory would beat more than half the heavyweights easily idk why there is dispute. Matter in fact it makes more sense for him to go up weight and have challenging fights it makes a good watch rather then seeing him plow through people like Paul Daley who is number two in his division..
So many pussies in the comments
Rory would wrack him bad.
Lol Rampage's response was so damn funny
Id put my money on Rory against Rampage.
Jay Youngblood especially rampage now.
Rampage is still funny as hell.
Karyn did ever call Rampage out during the #MeToo campaign?
Rampage isn't a natural heavyweight though. Eating donuts doesn't make you tougher.
Wtf did Rory leav ufc ? Ufc fucked up
Rory's face looks so fucking weird. It's all sideways.
I love rampage, but Rory would pick him apart
Rampage hasn't looked the same since evans and jones
At this point, Rory would kick the shit out of Rampage. Does anyone really doubt that? Old, slow, fat Rampage?
He’s a good fighter your all acting like he’s garbage.. he’d do well
Jamesy TheReDevil "you are" "you're" it's all good family
Yeah not saying he'd win, but it'd be interesting.
Hahahahaha
Rory walks around at 190 so yeah hed have to do a body comp to throw some lean muscle on
Andrew Cramer 200
Pretty sure Rory walks around at over 200 pounds…..
Ok. But how about walking around 225+? Doubt it. He's not a large frame.
NY OneLove He has a huge frame- could easily be a mw
He sounds serious wtf
i would favor him over all the tournement exept bader and mitrione
Pascal Bergeron nelson and Fedor tho, you think Rory can take there punch? Its heavyweight dude
lol
Yeah I feel like he can beat cheal too
Robbie Lawler didn't just take his soul. He took his brains too.
what that fight had no winner it was WAR A show respect to both
Should have been a draw
Kozmikōcēlōtl It ended by tko?
Aaron Cesario the second fight did. The first fight was super close. Should have been a draw
And Tyron broke robbie.
Good one.
