UFC 5 - RAMPAGE VS EVANS
UFC 5 - RAMPAGE VS EVANS
The UFC 114 main event between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad "Suga" Evans was one of the most highly anticipated light heavyweight bouts in UFC history. This grudge match was set to take place on May 29, 2010, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The build-up to this fight was intense, fueled by a long-standing rivalry between the two former UFC Light Heavyweight Champions. Their animosity grew during their time as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights reality show. To further promote the event, the UFC aired a three-part UFC Primetime series on Spike TV, showcasing the fighters' preparations and intensifying the anticipation.
This matchup was originally intended to be a title fight, as Jackson was supposed to challenge for the belt after defeating Keith Jardine at UFC 96 in March 2009. However, a jaw injury forced Jackson to withdraw, allowing Lyoto Machida to step in and claim the title at UFC 98.
The stakes for this fight were high, with UFC President Dana White confirming that the winner would earn a shot at the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship, then held by Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
Both fighters entered the bout with impressive credentials. Rampage Jackson, known for his powerful striking and wrestling background, was looking to reassert himself in the title picture. Rashad Evans, with his quick footwork and strong wrestling skills, aimed to prove he deserved another shot at the championship he once held.
The clash of styles and personalities, combined with the potential title implications, made this fight one of the most eagerly awaited matchups of 2010, promising fans an explosive and potentially career-defining battle between two of the light heavyweight division's biggest stars.
