‘Rampage’ Jackson’s Mission: Destroy Rashad Evans Then Get His Belt Back

Former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (30-7) plays one of the characters in the expected blockbuster movie the “A-Team” but it’s the furthest thing from his mind.
This Saturday he faces fellow “TUF 10″ coach Rashad Evans in the main event of UFC 114 in Las Vegas. With their long documented feud peaking in the octagon, Jackson has two things on his mind, destroy Evans and then get his title back.





“I all ready forgot I did a damn movie. It got nothing to do with this fight you know what I’m saying?” said Jackson recently “A fight is different from a movie. To me it’s all work. It’s all how I make a living; you know what I’m saying? So the movie’s been done with a long time ago and I’ve been training ever since I got off the damn set. I don’t even think about the movie no more. I’m thinking about this fight.”
“Rashad, he has no title. He couldn’t even hold on to the belt after one fight. So it’s like why am I even fighting this guy; you know what I’m saying?” questioned Jackson.
“Then after I did ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ now I know why I’m fighting this guy, because I want to teach guys like this a lesson to keep his mouth shut when you ain’t on the same level as the next man. So that’s why – that’s the motivation for this fight and it’s like a (moral) victory. It’s not up there with a title shot or no big accomplishment.”
…
“Well the title shot is kind of weird… because I’ve been training for this fight like it was the title shot,” said Jackson. “I’ve been training five rounds, so I still feel like I’m champion in my mind. So for it to be a title shot next just makes it sweet. I’ll just go right into it and keep training those five rounds and get my belt back, get back on the right track of being one of the best fighters in the world.”
