[Mr. IWS]

Thanks for posting that. Between the right hand he landed on the guy at the weighins and this fight, This is the Best Sapp looked since the Nog fight.

In all seriousness, I think I can kick Bob Sapp's ass. I could definitely take him down.

Make sure you use a double leg takedown, he will tap immediately.

For zY and his anecdotal evidence about women and KO power.

Those are some low rent ring girls.

Girls hit like women.

I heard the same thing about lawyers.

Anthony "Rumble" Johnson tells The MMA Hour he's signed with Titan Fighting, will debut on May 25.

I hope he gets matched up with Jake Rosholt.

[MMA_scientist]

That would be a good matchup, but they will probably make the mistake that small shows always make. They will try to build toward the fight and gain momentum, but something will derail it. Make the matchup while you can...

[Luke]

No, a double leg takedown.

tapping to a double leg takedown.............classic

[Luke]

I hope he gets matched up with Jake Rosholt.

Does Jake Rosholt fight at HW ?

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson wants out of the UFC. It looks like he'll get his wish, but not before fulfilling the last fight on his current deal.

According to a report on Tuesday's edition of FUEL TV's "UFC Tonight," Jackson and the UFC have agreed to part ways after Jackson faces Mauricio "Shogun" Rua later this year.

Jackson has previously said on Twitter that he was amenable to taking the last fight on his deal as long as he would be allowed to part ways with the UFC afterward.

If that is the end, it would mark the close of a rocky five-year relationship which began with Jackson's debut win over Marvin Eastman at UFC 67 in Feb. 2007. Just prior to that, Jackson had been fighting in the short-lived WFA, and UFC ownership group Zuffa LLC acquired the company. Later, UFC president Dana White would say that the only reason they bought the promotion was to acquire Jackson's contract.

Jackson went on to win the UFC light-heavyweight championship by beating Chuck Liddell at UFC 71 and defend it against Dan Henderson a few months later before dropping the belt to Forrest Griffin in July 2008.

The next fight would be the 12th in Jackson's UFC tenure, and he currently has a 7-4 record while fighting for the promotion, losing his last two.

No timetable was given for the matchup with Rua, which was reported by Ariel Helwani, but the bout should please Jackson, who has long wanted a rematch stemming from his April 2005 defeat at PRIDE Total Elimination 2005. That was the opening round match of the PRIDE middleweight Grand Prix that made Rua a star, and Rua won in style with a spectacular first-round TKO.

Jackson had a chance to take the rematch in 2011, but turned down the short-notice bout because he felt he didn't have enough time to get into shape and come in at optimal strength. Now, he'll have a chance to win in his last octagon appearance and avenge a bitter defeat at the same time.
