Fresh from leaving the UFC after being disrespected by Dana White, Rampage Jackson appears as B.A. Baracus in the A-Team remake movie.

Sneak Peek: Kimbo Fights
I like how they leave us with Kimbo landing a haymaker on Nelson. The onlky question is: does Nelson's chin take it? We'll see.

The Ultimate Fighter 10's most well-known fighter, Kimbo Slice, takes on the house's most experienced and successful fighter, Roy Nelson. We'll see what happens. Thanks to bloodyelbow for the pic.

Everybody knows what Kimbo's strength is - striking - but it looks like he's learning on the ground. The question is, will it be enough against somebody who's been wrestling or doing BJJ for a decade or more? We'll see.

from The Vancouver Sun, 9/4/09:
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship world light heavyweight champion Quinton (Rampage) Jackson is in Vancouver to star as BA Baracus in an upcoming movie version of The A-Team.

Jackson has been removed from the UFC 107 card where he was set to face Sugar Rashad Evans in an Ultimate Fighter finale showdown, so he can appear in the film. He was spotted on Robson Street Friday afternoon, signing autographs for fans.

Ted: Dana White gives a hilarious rant about acting while fighting professionally. But, as one member of the mmajunkie forum said, maybe he should just let it go, because more mainstream exposure will most likely lead to more asses in the seats.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Dana White wants to make one thing very clear: He's no fan of fighters who also want to launch simultaneous acting careers.

While the likes of Randy Couture, Heath Herring and Georges St-Pierre have appeared in recent Hollywood flicks, the UFC president was none too pleased when he learned Quinton Jackson will reportedly play the role of B. A. Baracus in a film remake of "The A-Team."

Do it again: Riggs and Diaz for Strikeforce 8/15?

MMAJunkie.com has some interesting rumors, so I'll run 'em down real quick:

- We may see Shane Carwin vs. Cain Velasquez at UFC 104 in Los Angeles.

- For UFC 107 in Memphis, it looks like native son Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will take on nemesis Rashad Evans, in a fight that will most likely determine the number-one contender to Lyoto Machida's title.

- Jow Riggs and Nick Diaz fought once in the UFC, and once unofficially afterward in a hospital ER. They make it official for the second time at Strikeforce's Aug. 15 event.

from mmaweekly.com:
Now that Lyoto Machida has cemented himself as the #1 light heavyweight in the world, the next step for him is to defend his title, and possibly build his reputation with more fans all over the world.

A natural step to build that bridge would seem to be placing Machida on the next season of the "Ultimate Fighter" reality show, and have him opposite his next opponent, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who previously served on the show during season 7.

UFC president Dana White was asked point blank if the coaches for the tenth season of the show had been picked, and while he was able to confirm they have been chosen, he wouldn't divulge any names.
