"Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson WILL be playing the part of BA Baracus in the forthcoming A-Team movie, Fighters Only has been able to establish.

However, Jackson is due to headline UFC 107 in December in a fight against TUF10 rival coach Rashad Evans. But with filming taking place around that date, Jackson will be unable to fight Evans at the December 12th event.

Fighters Only has learned that Rampage’s management are en route to the US to have an urgent weekend meeting with the UFC regarding this development. It is understood that they will be asking for the fight with Evans to be moved to another date, allowing Jackson to get a full training camp."

I ant buying it,putting all that effort in to hyping a fight by putting them on the UF and then rampage to leave for 3-4 months to go do a film? WASTE OF TIME

Sometimes you wonder, do they understand the game of football? They have a few drinks and probably the prawn sandwiches, and they don't realise what's going on out on the pitch.

i sort of agree with this

if he wants to do the movie that bad, fit in whatever kind of training camp he can, or don’t do it. he’s already committed to the fight, and a whole season of a tv show (leading up to it)… mainstream exposure or not. there’s gonna be a ton of hype for this fight, coming off of TUF. it would be a shame to postpone it. it’s the serra/hughes fight all over again. still had some spark to it when it finally happened, but not nearly as much as it would’ve originally.

As much as I loke him in the role, putting this fight off is not an option.

Dana's onto something...

Rashad would make a FANTASTIC Issac on a Love Boat remake.

= p

I think its a great idea. It’ll do A LOT for the exposure of the UFC. = p The fight can always be done a bit later. Heck we’ve seen Rampage and Rashad go for the belt already. If they’re occupied. It leaves room for some other guys to challenge for the title. = p

Well, THIS is going to go over well

Yeah, let’s try and push back a fight that is scheduled to be the conclusion of what will likely be the most watched season of TUF in the show’s history. After everything Dana has done for Page after he lost his mind last year and he’s gonna try and pull this shit?

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.
