Rampage & Evans have it out @ UFC 114

Thursday, 27 May 2010 18:00

Saturday may 29 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and “Suga” Rashad Evans put up their dukes @ the UFC 114 when light heavyweight champions get a chance to let their fists do the talking. This promise to be a bloody bout as it is no secret these two guys do not like each other one bit. UFC President Dana White comments “I can guarantee you that neither one of these guys wants to lose to each other, this fight is going to be insane.”

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (30-7) crushed his opponents on his way to the title with an unmerciful KO victory over then champion Chuck “The Iceman” Liddell back at UFC 71

Rampage knockout wins over Wanderlei Silva, Liddell and Marvin Eastman and a decision victory over Dan Henderson, the 31-year-old has picked up wins against some of the biggest names in mixed martial arts

“I really want to knock this guy out,” Jackson said. “I’ve never, ever wanted to knock someone as cold as I want to knock Rashad Evans. He’s disrespected me so much, for so long. I am so motivated to train my ass off. I’ve moved my coaches into my house already - Rashad should be prepared to see a brand new Rampage in May. I saw him in Sydney a few weeks back and we picked up right where we left off. I can’t stand him. He’s a disrespectful person and I didn't even want to beat Wanderlei as much as I want to beat this guy.”

A former All-American college wrestler turned successful mixed martial artist, “Suga” Rashad Evans (19-1-1) gets back on the championship track with an impressive decision victory over knockout artist Thiago Silva at UFC 108. Evans has faced and dropped the best, including wins over former UFC champions Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin. Now he will get his chance to face the man he’s been exchanging words with.

“I don’t like all the pre-fight talking, so I can’t wait until I finally get my chance to shut him up,” said Evans. “There were a lot of times on the show when I wanted to hit him right there. When Keith - Jardine - was training for his fight with Rampage, I had to mimic Rampage’s style. I can probably beat Rampage as Rampage now. Plus, he’s gotten super fat. He needs to get in shape. I may come to the Octagon with Mr. T just to get in his head.”
