Sorry fans, this is not a rumor. Former UFC Champion, Rampage Jackson, was arrested. While Rampage isn't normally known for hit and run tactics in the ring, he was booked into Orange County Jail for felony evading, hit and run and reckless driving. His bail has been set $25,000. From the San Fran Chronicle: Police received a report of an accident on the 55 Freeway near 19th Street in Costa Mesa involving a large pickup truck that had struck other vehicles and fled the scene, Dondero said.
From Yahoo Sports: “I just don’t see myself losing,” Irvin said. “I’m expecting to take a lot of damage. I’m expecting to eat a lot of his shots, but I’ve sparred and trained with guys who hit a lot harder than he hits. I’d rather take three or four of his punches than fight someone like Quinton Jackson, who will just knock you out with either hand. “I don’t think he has that kind of knockout power. I really don’t think he does. I’m not taking anything away from him, because he’s so well-rounded, but I don’t think he has that heavy handed punching power that someone like Scott Smith or Quinton Jackson does.” Before you get your panties in a wad, let's think about this. When compared to top strikers, his hitting power isn't at the top of the list. That's not to say he can't knock you out, because he has knocked out some tough chin opponents.
It appears that a Griffin Jackson Rematch is in discussion. The question would be will we have to wait for other fights first. White is quoted as saying "Rampage wants a rematch, Forrest said right away it is only right to give Rampage a rematch and it is a huge fight to do again. But there are a lot of great fights now Forrest is champion, the rematch being one of them, so we'll look at that over the next few months."
