The Return of Rampage
Rampage Jackson has publicly admitted he will be returning to the Octagon in order to finish his contract with the UFC.
Bloodyelbow has the latest straight from Rampage’s blog:
Now, I wanted to let my fans know that I’m going to come back to the UFC & finish my contract. Not because the haters are talking shit about me being scared of Rashad or Titties or anybody else. I’m coming back for my fans & to shut Rashad’s mouth up & shut Dana’s mouth up. Then after that I’m going back to doing movies & I might do a boxing match once a year just to stay in shape. Hate on dis!
Payout Perspective:
It’s more or less what everyone expected, and certainly a piece of much needed good news for the UFC. Furthermore, if you look at the history of the UFC’s relationship with its fighters, it’s not a stretch to imagine that Dana White and Rampage could patch things to the point that Rampage decides he’d like to continue fighting beyond his current contract.
The news is pretty fresh, and we don’t really know a lot at this point, but it’s conceivable that Rampage vs. Evans could help to co-headline the GSP fight in March (which would essentially give the organization it’s first solid, top-end card in the span of 6 months.
