Rampage Expected at UFC 91?
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is expected to make his return at UFC 91. After going through some medical problems in recent months and being arrested for hit-and-run Rampage should step back into the ring against long time rival Wanderlei Silva this November, headlining UFC 91.
During the days of PRIDE Rampage and Silva had taken to the ring twice. In both fights the “Axe Murderer” defeated Jackson. In the UFC Wanderlei Silva recently defeated Keith Jardine to put an end to his 3 fight losing streak.
The fight between the two would be a great one for viewers to watch. They have their history and Rampage will be wanting to climb back up the LHW ladder to reclaim his title after recently losing his UFC light-heavyweight championship to The Ultimate Fighter 1 winner Forrest Griffin.
The only thing which could prevent this fight from happening is Rampage’s current court cases. After losing his title reports were flooding the Internet that he had been arrested for hit-and-run. After being bailed from jail by UFC President Dana White Rampage found himself heading to a hospital for observation less than 24 hours later. Jackson is currently awaiting his trial for felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving. Thats not all though one woman has since suffered a miscarriage after her vehicle was hit by Rampage’s.
Jackson has returned to the gym to begin training with a new trainer after he and Juanito Ibarra split. Juanito Ibarra did say before Jackson’s fight with Rampage that he would retire if Rampage lost.

Irvine Police department:
“We did go out to the residence where he was staying at 4:31 p.m. PT (on Wednesday in the city of Irvine, Calif.). We were asked to assist with him and make sure that he was safe and not a danger to himself or others. He was exhibiting some unusual behavior that his friends that were there felt concerned…. At the conclusion of our contact, we did detain him and take him to be seen by mental health professionals. We left him with the mental health professionals.”
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has been picked up by police again.
Sources say around 4:30 PM yesterday, friends who were hanging out with Rampage, waved down an Irvine police car after they were worried about his behavior. This, of course, following the insane chase the day before in which the UFC fighter hit several cars in his monster truck and was arrested at gunpoint.
We’re told Irvine cops saw Rampage, deemed him a danger to himself and others, and took him to a hospital for observation. Rampage was very coopertive with police.
Cops won’t officially confirm if it’s a psychiatric hold.

Ultimate Fighter Recap
How about a nice game of horse to start the show? It happened and Rampage got OWNED! He did manage to get his team paid though due to his nice 3 pointer skills. Griffin’s dunk silenced Rampage in the end though.
Jesse Taylor ended up getting wasted and pissed his pants for national TV before getting in the hot tub where he tried to drown himself.
Both Jesse and Tim successfully weighed in for their fight. In the first round Jesse ended up getting in there and taking Tim down which was unexpected. Tim did pretty good controlling him on the ground though taking a few punches to the head. Tim tried a few triangles and armbars from his back but they all ended in a short ground and pound from Jesse.
The second round started the same as the first. Jesse in Tim’s guard. Tim managed to turn the tides though getting mount on Jesse for a short time before going back to having him in guard.
The third round was a repeat of the first two. Controlled by Jesse all the way through with Tim making a few advances.
Jesse Taylor moves onto the finals at the Palms in Las Vegas. Next week we find out his opponent.
