EXCLUSIVE – Quinton “Rampage” Jackson stalls on signing his UFC 130 bout agreement for fight with Matt Hamill
February 12, 2011 All MMA News, Exclusives, UFC 1 Comment
MMABay can EXCLUSIVELY reveal that former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is stalling on signing his UFC 130 bout agreement to face Matt Hamill on May 28th in Las Vegas, Nevada, as he’s not overly excited at the prospect of facing “The Hammer”.
MMABay spoke to a source close to the man from Memphis who told us Jackson is reluctant to sign on the dotted line as he doesn’t consider Hamill to be on the same level as him both as a fighter and in the divisions current standings. He is also said to want “a tear up” inside the octagon and doesn’t feel Hamill is equipped to give him one.
Jackson was originally due to go head-to-head with Brazilian heavy hitter, Thiago Silva on the Las Vegas card before he tested positive for banned substances. The original rumour was that Jackson would be granted a rematch with bitter rival, Rashad Evans but it was later ruled out, much to his disappointment.
