I watch all the press conferences and interviews and i have come to the conclusion that rampage has really bad knees.  Do you recall those sidekicks to the knees by jon jones and then i believe it was on one of karyn bryant's video feeds after the fight, rampage was getting attended to back stage and we were able to see and hear his knee/knees getting worked on.  The "crackle" sound from one of the knees would make you cringe.  Even during the rashad evans fight, rampage complained about him punching at his knees like he had a spy or something during training camp enough to know his knees were injured.

Rampage takedown defense to me is one of the best in mma, but bader can break this down with better cardio which anyone would question considering rampage weighs up to 250 pounds in between fights.  But having bad knees vs a strong wrestler like bader is not going to help him much in this fight.  As rampage stated during one of his interviews, he won't take any drugs that are addicting and it is my opinion he probably would not take any steroids for healing purposes in between fights, but injuries are part of almost every physical sport being played out there.  To me every single fighter goes into a fight with some kind of injury and if not they are very very lucky.  It's no wonder that rampage doesn't care about jiu jitsu aside from him wanting to put on a show standing up.
