"Rashad still in the Dark after cancelled fight.."

 Rashad Evans still in the dark regarding cancellation of “Rampage” fight



MMABay recently reported that the light-heavyweight face off between former champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans has been pulled from the UFC 107 card, however it would appear that Rashad Evans has not yet been informed.

Rashad’s manager contacted MMAFanhouse regarding the cancellation of the UFC 107 fight with Quinton Jackson.



“Haven't heard anything yet. As far as we know the fight is still on. Until the UFC tells us something different, Rashad Evans starts training in mid-October.”



It is not yet known when or where Rashad and “Rampage” will face off, but with the very public bad blood between these two it’s guaranteed that they will go at it at some point. In the mean time an opponent must be found for Rashad, and there are a lot of interesting fights that could be made, especially with Randy’s recent comments regarding moving to 205lb.

Fanhouse is reporting the MMAbay said the fight was off and that they asked Rashad's camp about the cancelation of the fight and they hadn't heard anything from anyone that matters.

There is still no reliable source reporting that Page has pulled out of the fight.

He's in the dark because he doesn't know what that it happened..

you know, since it didn't, and all.

dave meltzer-

--Regarding the Quinton Jackson stuff, we did get it confirmed that Quinton Jackson pulled out of the 12/12 show in Memphis and there is no date for the Rashad Evans match to be rescheduled for. That confirms Jackson did get the Mr. T role in "The A-Team" movie. In the war between MTV and The Sun, well, MTV looked bad here.

got a source? other than sherdog forums from a guy with 140 posts and no link to a source?

really? no mention of mmabay anywhere in the fanhouse article! unless you consider the mention of "several reports" which is totally non-specific to be specifically coming from mmabay..

"Rashad Evans has yet to be officially informed that his UFC 107 main-event matchup with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been scrapped, according to his manager, Jervis Cole.

FanHouse contacted Cole on Saturday to find out whether the ex-UFC light-heavyweight champion had been informed of any change in scheduling. As of yesterday afternoon, he had not.

"Haven't heard anything yet," Cole wrote in a text message to FanHouse. "As far as we know the fight is still on. Until the UFC tells us something different, Rashad Evans starts training in mid-October."

UFC President Dana White had been out of the country on business, so perhaps that explains why Evans had not yet been told of any change in plans.

The other possibility is that reports of the postponement are premature. Several reports have stated that Jackson pulled out of the Dec. 12 main event after getting the role of B.A. Baracus in a film remake of "The A-Team."

Most evidence does point to Jackson being unavailable for the fight date. The film is being shot in Vancouver, and the hometown paper The Vancouver Sun reported on Saturday that Jackson was in town, and was preparing for filming.

The paper also reported that Jackson will be shooting the movie for the next six weeks. That would mean that if the film wrapped on schedule (and many big-budget films require re-shoots), his commitment would end in mid-to-late October. Such a scenario would leave Jackson about seven weeks left for a training camp for a bout that could likely determine the next No. 1 contender in the UFC's 205-pound division. Most fighters favor an eight-week camp.

UFC 107 is to take place in Jackson's hometown of Memphis, Tenn. Lightweight champion BJ Penn recently announced on his website that his next title defense against Diego Sanchez would come there, and could serve as a main event if Evans-Jackson is postponed.

Jackson-Evans is the centerpiece feud of the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, which begins airing on Sept. 16 and runs through Dec. 2.

MMABay is garbage. They have no problem being used by Wolfslair to try and negotiate publicly. It isn't a real news establishment.

You will have to ask Brigham that since he still defends MMABay.
Uhh, can you please point this out? Even when they are right, I bash them LOL

 

I actually think MMABay is alright with regard to Wolfslair stuff. They tend to be accurate, which isn't surprising seeing how they are a sponsor there. But like John Joe said above, Fighters Only was the first place I saw talk of the fight being off, and I usually wait for their reports before fully believing stuff.

Wonder if the event will stay in Memphis? I say no!
