UFC 114: Rampage vs. Evans

UFC 114 Rampage vs. Evans will be UFC’s upcoming event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada this coming 29th of May 2010. The main event will match better rivals Quinton Rampage Jackson and Rashad Suga Evans.

It’s been a war of words for both former UFC light heavyweight champions, just like when the two fighters are on a heated argument after Rampage defeated Evans’ close friend Keith The Dean of Mean Jardine at UFC 96 last March 7, 2009. The two fighters were suppose to slug with Evan’s light heavyweight belt, but a jaw injury during a fight with Jardine prevented Jackson from taking his belt back. That allowed Lyoto The Dragon Machida to step in for Jackson’s mantle as Evan’s challenger in his UFC light heavyweight belt, But Machida grabbed Evan’s belt by knocking out Evans in Round 2 at the UFC 98 last May 23, 2010. Rampage was suppose to fight Machida for the belt but instead became a coach on Season 10 The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights that will match him against his nemesis Evans.

UFC 114 full fight card is stacked with five TUF season champions: Rashards Evans of Team Franklin in Season 2, Michael Bisping of Team Ortiz in Season 3, Diego Sanchez of Team Lidell in Season 1, Amir Sadollah of Team Forrest in Season 7 and Efrain Escudero of Team Nogueira in Season 8.
