|  Jackson vs. Evans Official for UFC 114
Quote: 
The long-rumored UFC 114 headlining matchup between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans is a go, according to updates posted last night on the fighters' Twitter pages. It will be the first fight in over 14 months for Rampage, who went AWOL following his decision victory over Keith Jardine last March in order to film The A-Team. (UFC 114 goes down just two weeks before the film's release date. That's called "synergy," brah.) Evans most recently won a decision over Thiago Silva in January
We're confident that Jackson and Evans can re-build the heat of this matchup back up to TUF 10 levels. But Rampage fans may have reason to worry. According to a recent mailbag column by Yahoo!'s Kevin Iole: "[Jackson] isn’t close to being in shape now, though his Muay Thai coach, Dave Jackson, insists he’s already working hard. But I saw him in Australia and he looked plenty plump to me. I was also surprised to see him smoking a cigarette."
Well, if it can happen to Gerard Butler, it can happen to anyone. Let's hope Rampage spends these next three months wisely. UFC 114's tentative lineup is after the jump...
MAIN CARD
Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans
Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Diego Sanchez vs. John Hathaway
Amir Sadollah vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Aaron Simpson vs. Chris Leben
PRELIMINARY CARD
Efrain Escudero vs. Dan Lauzon
Melvin Guillard vs. Thiago Tavares
Cyrille Diabate vs. Luiz Cane
Todd Duffee vs. Mike Russow
Ryan Jensen vs. Jesse Forbes

I'm unsurprised/unexcited about any of the melodrama that surrounds rampage...but I'm pretty pissed that Leben is on the main card over any of the other fights.

I would have liked to see the Russow and Todd Duffee fight on the main card.

After all the BS that went on with this match up.. Im still excited. I hope Rampage knocks Rashad's head off, but I can see Rashad pulling out a decision. I agree with Rivet... Leben shouldn't even be in the UFC, let alone the main card. No one can say it's for entertainment value anymore because his recent fights have been pretty painful to watch.

That's one sweet ass card right there.
I don't care about any of the drama that's between these 2, but I sure as hell am excited for the fight itself.

| That was the first one that caught my eye, and then I realized that I'd rather watch everyone else than Leben fight anyone.

Some time ago I found Rampage as a funny guy and Rashad as very annoying.
Today I consider Rampage a very annoying guy and Rashad very annoying aswell.
I hope they will beat the hell out of eachother with someone KOing the opponent in the 3rd round. I think Rampage is going to win.

I can't wait for this fight, I got Page on this one though via KO. Only way Rashad wins this is if he uses his wrestling.
