It is rumored that verbal agreements are now in place for a fight between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Stephan Bonnar for some time in 2012.
Bonnar requested this fight via his twitter account following his most recent victory over Kyle Kingsbury at UFC 139 this past weekend.
I’ve always wanted to fight ‘Rampage.’ You know, I’ve got a few wins now and maybe (I can) get a big name (next).
Rampage was then rumored to have txt Dana White following Bonnar’s tweet. Dana told MMAWeekly.com that Jackson was also interested in fighting Bonnar.
“Bonnor [sic] called me out?! I would end his career 4 real,” “Rampage” Tweeted.
Again just a few hours later Jackson went to his Twitter account…
Guys I never said I was fighting Bonnar next,but since the guys I wanna fight can’t or won’t fight me,I wouldn’t mind fighting him next
Both men are known for being in some serious wars. Bonnar most notably for his three round slugfest with Forrest Griffin in The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 finale. Bonnar has gone 8-6 in his UFC career, however he is on a three fight win streak.
Jackson has fought all over the world and was hoping to be on the UFC in Japan card in February. His most recent fight was a submission loss to the current light heavyweight champ Jon Jones at UFC 135.
Ok Sucka’s what are your thoughts on this fight? Is it worthy for UFC on Fox 2? Does Bonnar have what it takes to beat Rampage?
Rampage just cannot have any class whatsoever.Bonnar complimented him;”maybe I could fight I big name”.
But Rampage is too stupid too see that.
