If Rampage is as determined as his fight against Wanderlei Silva he will knock out Jardine in the first round. I think Rampage training at Wolflair will only help improve Quinton and his left cross punch knock out in his previous fight was evidence he is taking his game to the next stage.
Jardine can only copy Griffins game plan and stop Rampage with his leg kicks and unusual fighting stance and attacks.
The possibilty is if Rampage wins, he may get another title shot, be a real banger if Rampage gets a chance against Sugar Raschad Evans.
