Update on Rampage: Not Likely on UFC 91 Card or Even This Year

Fronted by Luke Thomas. Keep the FanPosts coming, guys. They are better than ever.

Kevin Iole (Yahoo! Sports) answered a few mailbag questions today and has info regarding the rumored Jackson v. Silva fight:

A very good source told me on Tuesday he expects Jackson and Silva to fight Jan. 31 (Super Bowl weekend) in Las Vegas in UFC 93. It’s a very fluid situation, but it’s almost certain it won’t happen in November and it’s very unlikely for December.

Looks like the 91 card won't be as stacked as we once thought it might be.  Will it still sell out with the high ticket prices?  According to Michael Rome's post the UFC has some work to do.

The answer is

            Yes, they will still sell all the tickets.

Well that blows. They still need a strong co-main event for this one. I’m not watching just to see Randy and Kenny Florian fight..

The card will still sell 1 million buys

And everyone who cares about Wanderlei and Rampage is already buying. Smart move saving it for an epic SB card – possibly with GSP- BJ II. Nice.
