According to multiple reports, it's now all but confirmed that Jackson will face Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 91 in Portland, OR, on November 15th.

Trained with Bisping before when he was with Ibarra, too.
Anyways, even though I dont really like Ibarra, I think Page was better off with him.

LMAO... of all the camps to go train at he picks the "Wolf's Lair"? Good for the gym, but bad for Rampage if you ask me. I wonder what they offered him to train there.
Who knows, though.. it may give him a much needed boost. Sometimes any change is good. It will get him out of the U.S. and away from a lot of bad influences probably.

Wolfs Lair is a pretty good camp. Fighters who frequent the gym include Michael Bisping, Dean Lister, Cheik Kongo, Paul Kelly, Ian Freeman, and I've also heard Arlovski frequently attends the gym.
There's a lot of good stikers their for Page to train with so it's not like the camp is a joke. It's actually probably one of the best camps in the UK.
At least Rampage can drive on the wrong side of the road now without getting in trouble.

Maximum Security Prisons are for real Criminals and we all can Agree that Rampage is no Real Criminal. But will Rampage be the same Fighter that Dominated, I hope so

SERIOUSLY!!!!! 
With all the accusations(for lack of a better word at the time), that Rampages head isn't right at the moment, this is a bad fight to take. If his mind was right this would be a great fight to take, but if hes all looney tunes in the head right now all he is gonna think about is how not to get beat, not how to win, which doesn't translate well cuz shogun despite all the bs is still a very creative fighter and will find a way to win if Page is on the defensive the whole fight.
I hope Page's mind is right for this, I don't really like him but he IS a great fighter and I would pay to see him fight so I don't really wana see him lose just because of his mentality.

I'm with you man! Wolfs lair is about a 40 min drive from my house and although its the best MMA camp in the U.K its not going to push Rampages skills to the levels he needs to be at to fight for the title.
He should have gone to H.I.T squad him and Matt could have held bible class after their training and he would have been training at a level that would keep him a contender.
Bisping, Kelly and Etim are their stand out stars and I can't see Rampage honing his wrestling as he would easily be the best wrestler there!
I think Jackelope said it best with " Good for the gym, but bad for Rampage".

They were all just guest days except for Kelly and Bisping who regularly train there, although some of the U.K's best talent trains there.
If Arlovski was there I promise you I would go more often but alas it was a one off
