Moments ago on UFC Tonight the news broke that Jackson will not be getting an immediate release however he will be facing Mauricio “Shogun” Rua for the second time.
Both men are bonafide legends in the sport of mixed martial arts and have left countless memories from their times in the Pride Fighting Championships and eventually the UFC for the latter periods of their careers.
The last time they met was in 2005, Jackson was the first of four high-level opponents that Rua put away en route to earning the final Pride Middleweight Grand Prix title.
