It all began when Rampage started talking and then The Axe Murderer wanted to start fighting a day early.

The animated gif is after the jump if you want to see a three second repeating loop of the push over and over and over. It’s like a train wreck, you can’t stop watching once you start. You’ve been warned!
As always, props to Combat Lifestyle for the pic!

Part of what has made Wanderlei a great fighter is that aggression, but I always thought he was smart enough to keep it under control outside of the ring. Honestly, not something I particularly like, but I’m still pulling for him.
I love it! These guys are about to step into a cage and fight! The aggression isn’t fake and both of these fighters are ready to go!
I enjoy that from time to time in a big fight, versus the created drama they often use to push fights.
The shove was totally predictable. Wand has been like this his entire career (especially in PRIDE), so this type of confrontation was waiting to happen. Rampage seems to have said something to him just before the shove, so whatever that comment was may have been the catalyst.
