| UFC interested in Gustafsson vs Rampage
UFC interested in Gustafsson vs Rampage UFC interested in Gustafsson vs Rampage - Fighters Only Quote:
Alexander Gustafsson could find himself facing Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson later this year.
Prior to UFC on FUEL 2 in Sweden on Saturday night the UFC had determined that the winner would make an attractive opponent for Jackson’s next outing, a source says. Silva had previously been matched with Jackson for UFC 130 but the fight was scrapped when Silva failed a drug test, so Jackson fought Matt Hamill instead.
Jackson has been angling for a rematch with Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, who holds a win over him from Pride FC. The UFC was keen on the match but then Jackson recently announced that he needed double knee surgery.
Coupled with the fact that Jackson also wants out of his UFC contract, and has been told that will be granted after one more fight, the UFC is looking to keep Shogun busy. The former champion is notorious for performing badly after long absences and he wants to stay busy, possibly with a fight at UFC 147.
The source also revealed that Jackson has turned down several mooted opponents of late, including Phil Davis. As Davis is coming off a loss to Rashad Evans and Jackson is coming off a loss to Ryan Bader it was thought the match made sense but Jackson does not want to fight any more wrestlers.

Goose would MERC him. 'Page is too fat, old, slow, unmotivated, overpaid to do much of anything.

I agree Sakara, but it's a fight that 'Page would probably take. A stand up fight.

Well, this is a great fight to build Goose up as a top tier contender as I'm pretty sure he takes Paycheck 'Page out pretty violently....unless Rampage all of a started giving a shit and I didn't get the memo....

Yeah I am more into Page vs Shogun.
I certainly don't think the goose MERC's him. Probably wins a UD.
A motivated Page is dangerous. Money motivates him and for him to make more he needs to win this last one.

Even casual fans aren't fooled by Rampage's big name anymore, Alexander would win this fight easily.

And just FYI, there is no such thing as a motivated Page.
