Rashad: I will highlight reel KO that Rampage
Rashad Evans: “That’s a fight I’d really like to have … I’ll tell you what. If that ‘Rampage’ gets in front of me, woooo, I’m gonna highlight reel knock out on him.”
After his win over Fabio Maldonado at UFC 186 Saturday night, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson listed what he wanted next.
I want to come back and beat everybody that beat me,” said Rampage. “I want to fight ‘Shogun’, Glover, Rashad and make my way back up to Jon Jones. I’m on a mission. That’s the honest truth.
On the FOX Sports 1 post-fight show Saturday night, Evans said he was more than game. The two former light heavyweight champions fought at UFC 114 in 2010, and got over 1,000,000 PPV buys.
“I would definitely give ‘Rampage’ a rematch,” said Evans as transcribed by Marc Raimondi for MMAFighting.com. “That’s a fight I’d really like to have. He came out there, he kind of looked alright. He had things going on, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. But I’ll tell you what. If that ‘Rampage’ gets in front of me, woooo, I’m gonna highlight reel knock out on him.”
“I think Rampage needs to get back to the old Rampage, picking people up and slamming them. That’s how he’s gonna be a contender, to really break into the top five and to be a threat in this weight class.”
Evans is currently ranked #4 among light heavyweiughts. Rampage just beat the #12 ranked Maldonado. But Jackson’s next fight may be in court.
