Bellator files injunction to keep Rampage
The UFC announced Quinton Jackson was booked to fight in April at UFC 186, but looks like Bellator is intent on not letting that happen and has filed an injunction.
It was revealed earlier this year that Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson had left Bellator and MMA and re-signed with the UFC. The UFC announced he was booked to fight in April at UFC 186, but looks like Bellator is intent on not letting that happen and has filed an injunction:
“Today, Bellator MMA was compelled to go to court to stop Quinton “Rampage” Jackson from fighting in an April 25th bout promoted by Bellator’s competitor, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC),” a statement released Monday by the organization read.
“Jackson, who has completed only three fights of his exclusive six-fight contract with Bellator, is barred by contract from fighting for any promoter other than Bellator. Our lawsuit for an injunction and related relief – filed in the Chancery Division of the Superior Court in Burlington County, New Jersey – will compel Jackson to honor his contractual agreement. We look forward to having one of our MMA stars fighting for Bellator again.”
