UFC 114 - Evans vs Rampage


Recommended Posts

Ufc114-poster-2_medium.jpg

An anticipated matchup between former light heavyweight champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans is now official to headline UFC 114 on May 29 in Las Vegas.

UFC chairman Lorenzo Fertitta told Yahoo Sports that Jackson signed a contract for the fight on Friday in Australia, and both fighters have now formally agreed to the bout.

“Rampage” and Evans, opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 10, had been set to settle their feud in December, but Jackson’s role in “The A-Team” and brief retirement which ended in December, postponed the fight.

Jackson (30-7), who lost the 205-pound title to Forrest Griffin in July 2008, is coming off back-to-back wins over Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine, while Evans (14-1-1) rebounded from a May loss to Lyoto Machida with a unanimous decision over Thiago Silva last month.

UFC 114, which airs live on pay-per-view from the MGM Grand Garden Arena and coincides with the second UFC Fan Expo, is also expected to include Forrest Griffin vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Amir Sadollah vs. Dong Hyun Kim.

Well, Dan Henderson tried to get Rampage down to the ground in their fight and he had a pretty hard time of it. I'm not exactly sure Rashad will have an easy time getting this fight to the ground and I'm not sure that would be a wise move anyway. Jackson has shown his weakness against leg kicks and I wouldn't be surprised if Greg Jackson made a game plan around it.

yeah that knock out came outta no where

bisping decision was a good one, well close anyways. could have been called either way every round but it did seem bisping had the edge.

Aye, as much as I hate Bisping, he did win the fight.

Alright, I am going to call TKO by Rampage with 1:58 left in the second round. :p

nice work Evans, Rampage needs to think now what he wants whether he wants to act or fight.

Why? He's a fighter. Don't tell me that he had no chances to win.

Expect fight no. two, and I don't think we'll see Rampage getting taken down that often in that one. If anything, I'll expect a knockout by Rampage. Evans can't stand with Rampage, and Evan knows it.

and last time i checked this wasn't boxing, it was MMA and the ground game is 50 percent of that. And it's not like rampage didn't almost get knocked out in the first 10 seconds of the fight. Rampage was completely outclassed.

This isn't boxing, no. But we all know what happened last time when Evans didn't use his wrestling. He got put into dreamy land by Machida.

Rampage didn't get outclassed, that's just stupid. He lost, that's it, but I doubt it'll happen again. We all know that there's going to be fight no.2. Rampage isn't going to let this go. And I think that you missed the part where Evans also nearly got knocked out as well with Rampage landing bombs from above. Far more closer to stoppage than when Rampage got hooked.

Many of Evans recent fights are right borefests. He just lies on top of people with minimal action.

yeah he really did get outclassed, he had about 30 seconds of brilliance, that's it. And then when he had the change to finish it off, like an idiot he just sat there and let rashad recover. He was out of shape compared to rashad. The only thing rampage had on him was strength. Who cares if rampage doesn't let this go, rashad has a title shot coming up so it's going to be at least a while until a rematch happens. Rashad get's his title shot and rampage will have to fight someone else to get some momentum going. Rampage only really hit him once, if you look at the replay all his follow up punches after the knockdown barely hit or missed completely. Rampage did have him, but he just sat back and let rashad recover.

There's an error in the article, at first it says that Jackson won.

Where does it say that Rashad is going to get a title shot? Beating Silva in a borefest, and then Rampage in a borefest entitles him to a title shot?

Do Rogerio Noguerio v Evans, and then give the title shot to the winner. Atleast it'll be a bit interesting due to Nogueira's ground game.

Dude you are totally talking out of your ass..lol It's fine that you like rampage and were hoping he'd win, hell i thought rampage would win too, but to defend him like you are after this fight is just ridiculous. He DID get outclassed in every sense, Evans was faster, stronger, smarter.. rampage had one shining moment in the 3rd round and then screwed himself by letting Evans recover.

But to go as far as saying Evans recent fights have been boring.. are you f**king crazy? He KO'd Liddell, then TKO'd griffen, the fight with Machida was far from boring, and then he KO'd thiago silva.. wtf are you thinking? I mean maybe earlier in his carrier he was a bit lay and pray-ish.. but jesus, give the guy some credit, he's tearing people up in that division.

Oh good lord.. just when i thought your comments couldn't get more insane..lol

Rashad certainly deserves a title shot, he has 1 ****ing loss man, and that was to Machida. How the hell can you put him up against little nog when nog got outclassed in his fight lastnight? It's a good thing you are not doing the matchmaking, you sound like you'd fit right in doing the judging.

im really sorry that you're hero/boyfriend got destroyed... i really am. But yeah, rashad is getting a title shot.

If anything it should be little nog vs rampage, two got who were completely outclassed in their last fights. Little nog got embarrassed last night. The fact he won was complete and utter bull****.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
