A much anticipated fight finally will become a reality when Quinton “Rampage” Jackson takes on Rashad "Suga" Evans on May 12 at UFC 114 in a bad blood clash.
UFC 114 Betting Lines
Quinton Jackson -145
Rashard Evans +115
This fight supposed to be on last year in December in the Octagon following the end of The Ultimate Fighter season 10 but Rampage took a role in The A Team movie and then he declared he was retired from MMA; making many MMA betting fans upset not being able to see this long awaited grudge match.
Now that the fight is back on Evans has used Twitter to spice things up. "I decided that I'm gonna leave @Rampage4real aka Quitting Jackson (lol) alone cuz I don't want @Danawhite 2 call me saying he quit again!" Evans wrote in one of his many Tweets.
Jackson on the other hand had only one response. "I find it very funny that @sugarashadevans thinks me not fighting Dec 12 had anything to do with him."
The Bad Blood began after Rampage defeated Evans' teammate, Keith Jardine, via unanimous decision at UFC 96.
Rampage who is a bigger and taller than Evans owns a 30-7-0 record; meanwhile Rashad’s is 19-1-1. I am going against the sports betting odds on this one and backing the underdog. Rashad Evans has a win over Forrest Griffin, the fighter that beat Rampage in UFC 86. Rashad is quicker and smarter than Rampage. Quinton has been out of the MMA scene for a while and is probably rusty coming into this match.
My pick: Evans by KO in the 2nd round
