Rashad Evans avoided having to fight Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson in his rival’s hometown of Memphis, Tenn. last December when Jackson backed out of their scheduled fight to film the new ‘A-Team’ movie. But as it turns out, Las Vegas is proving to be a fairly unfriendly place for Evans as well.

Yes, Rashad Evans and Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson are not fond of one another. That much is clear. But believe it or not, it wasn’t always this way. When Jackson (30-7) first joined the UFC in 2007, he and Evans apparently got along just fine. Evans (19-1-1) admits he was even a Rampage fan.

Michael Bisping opened up his email account recently to find yet another message from a fan directing him to a video of his knockout loss to Dan Henderson at UFC 100 in July. What stood out to him wasn’t the overhand right that ended his title contention hopes in the second round. It was his size.

After ousting Sanchez, Hathaway’s star is born in welterweight division

May 30, 2010

By Ryan Greene

John Hathaway entered his U.S. debut on Saturday night at UFC 114 as an unknown to just about everyone. Even his opponent — fan-favorite Diego Sanchez — said on Thursday that he knew nothing about Hathaway outside of watching his fight tapes, despite attempting to hunt him down on both Facebook and Twitter. But re-watching the display the 22-year-old Brit put on against Sanchez in a unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 30-26) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena will tell all future opponents everything they need to know.

By Case Keefer

The civility between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans lasted two minutes. During a Tuesday teleconference to preview their headlining heavyweight bout at UFC 114 on May 29 at the MGM Grand, Jackson (30-7, 14 KOs) and Evans (14-1-1, 5 KOs) let each other speak without interruption long enough to answer one question. Then, the despised rivals reverted to usual form for the remaining 40 minutes. The call turned into a morass of yelling, arguing and trash talking.

Conor McGregor stops Jose Aldo for fastest finish in title fight history

Conor McGregor became more than UFC featherweight champion with his 13-second knockout victory over Jose Aldo. He became the UFC. McGregor transcended into a level above any other fighter by living up to every promise about what he’d do to the only previous 145-pound champion in UFC history. And he set a slew of records doing it, including creating a live gate of $10.1 million at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta later said McGregor would become the first man to make more than $100 million in the octagon. The new era didn’t stop with McGregor. Luke Rockhold unseated previously undefeated Chris Weidman in the main event to become the seventh middleweight champion in UFC history.
