Ultimate Fighter, which featured Rashad Evans and
Quinton Jackson as coaches, were originally slated to
fight at UFC 107, in Memphis, Tennessee, where “Rampage”

However, Rampage opted to turn his back
on MMA and accept the role of
B.A. Baracus on the movie remake of The A-Team. Now,
Jackson is back in action, and the match up is official.
The UFC announced that the two 205-pound
enemies will be looking to officially shut one another
up at UFC 114 in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 29.
After Evans lost an opponent
for the UFC 107 co-main event, the former 205-pound champion
made his return to the Octagon at UFC 108 against Brazilian
slugger Thiago Silva. Evans grabbed a unanimous decision and
gained his first victory after losing his belt to Lyoto
Machida at UFC 98.
This will be Jackson’s first fight in nearly a year when he
picked up a victory of perennial contender and Evan’s
teammate Keith Jardine at UFC 96.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Jason Brilz
The Nebraska-based fighter Jason Brilz, has compiled an
impressive 18-2-1 record and has notable wins over veterans
such as Jason MacDonald, Alex Schoenauer and Tim Boetsch,
among others.
Brilz, last appearance inside the Octagon was as recent as
UFC on Versus 1, where he took home a unanimous decision win
against Eric Schafer in Broomfield.
while Nogueira, owns a 18-3 reccord and is coming off of his
sixth straight win including a knockout victory over Luiz
Cane with a first round TKO at UFC 106.
Michael Bisping vs. Dan Miller
Both Bisping and Miller, who were both once on the verge of
top title contention, look to rebound from recent losses.
Dan Miller is coming off of back-to-back unanimous decision
losses against Chael Sonnen and Demian Maia. Neither of
which was particularly exciting. Miller could be facing a
true must-win scenario here.
Bisping's losses came to Dan Henderson (vicious knockout at
UFC 100), and then after that he rebound with a TKO win over
Denis Kang at UFC 105, and then a loss to Wanderlei Silva
via unanimous decision last month at UFC 110. A loss to
Miller (which would be his third in four fights) could
permanently derail him as a title contender.

The Ultimate Fighting Championships began in
1993. It redefined what martial arts was all about. It set in
motion, the battleground for the karate community, where
fighters from all backgrounds could come together and test
their art, mano o mano, man vs man against the best, all
trained in different arts. Set aside was the facade, the smoke
screens and the mystique behind each art and now naked before
you was the basic street fighter! More UFC Fighting History
