Rampage......I pity the fool!

Another season of TUF wasted with news that Rampage Jackson will be taking on the role of BA Barackus in the A-Team remake coming next year. Filming for the movie begins this month, meaning Rampage will not be able to train for his fight against Rashad Evans as planned in December. While I understand fighters need to have a back up career once they are done in the fight biz, being a fighter means fighting comes first. The Evans fight was as big a fight as there was coming this year as it pits 2 top 10 fighters against each other in the hopes of lining up the next possible title contender. With Rampage going Cung Le on us, it looks like we will have to wait for not only the Evans fight to materialize, but we also now have a stall out for the next genuine contender for Lyoto Machida's title. As is, Shogun should not be contending for the belt, now who knows who is next for the Dragon?
