Bellator did everything in their power to stop ‘Rampage’ Jackson from returning to the UFC… It didn’t work.
The UFC just announced that Jackson will return to action at this Sunday at UFC 186.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has been cleared to fight with the UFC, and will return Saturday to face Brazil’s Fabio Maldonado in the co-main event of UFC 186 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.A court injunction earlier this month blocking Jackson’s UFC return was lifted on Tuesday, paving the way for the former UFC light heavyweight champion to compete in Montreal.Jackson, 36, and Maldonado will fight at a catch weight of 215 pounds, the UFC announced Tuesday. The UFC 186 card now features Jackson vs. Maldonado as well as UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson vs. Kyoji Horiguchi as the co-main events.
UFC President Dana White had this to say about the decision:
“We are happy with the decision from the New Jersey Court allowing Rampage to fight in Montreal this Saturday night,” UFC President Dana White said. “I am looking forward to seeing Rampage back in the Octagon.”
I know ‘Rampage’ is happy because he’s going to get his money. Let’s see if he has what it takes to still compete in the UFC.
