Quinton Jackson vs. Wanderlei Silva Likely For UFC 93
A long-rumored rematch between former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and former PRIDE light heavyweight champion Wanderlei Silva is likely to take place at UFC 93 UFC 94 on January 31st in Las Vegas, according to Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole.
“A very good source told me on Tuesday he expects Jackson and Silva to fight Jan. 31 (Super Bowl weekend) in Las Vegas in UFC 93,” wrote Iole. “It’s a very fluid situation, but it’s almost certain it won’t happen in November and it’s very unlikely for December.”
The matchup was expected to be featured as the co-main event alongside Randy Couture vs. Brock Lesnar at UFC 91 in November.
UFC 93 in headlined by a champion vs. champion clash as UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre takes on UFC lightweight champion BJ Penn in a blockbuster welterweight rematch.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i was looking 4ward to that in november, f*cking sh!t stain
you cocksuckers!!! I hate when cards get hyped up and then they take off fights 1 by 1…I wanna see them fight with brock and randy…
dumb. i don’t want to see this **** again.
dude this is retarted! Who’s fighting in nov. in place of this match? Or in dec.? That’s why i never listen to rumors or hype, cuz $hit like this happens.

that 91 card just took a huge hit…
i mean couture n lesnar is a cool match…
flo vs big daddy is great!
but what is really left after that!?!!
hopefully they plug that hole…
It’s a co-promotion
Sucks but makes sense…Now 12/27 needs one more to drive ticket sales…
This is becoming too common for UFC …….they have canceled and changed all the fighs people want to see .. Thats why DREAM rules . they dont cancel much and put on awsome shows …… thats what I want to see not a blog on how the big fight when south …
Yeah, Dream rules at putting on shows where guys testicles are ascended back into their bodies.
they need a new pic of rampage, he’s not champ anymore
@Doom, Gracie v Travis was canceled and the Japanese are know for changing their fight cards regularly remember Diaz was suppose to fight for the MW title on the last DREAM card, I love DREAM but if Rampage has to push back the fight to figure out how not to get kneed threw the cage, as long as they fight does it really matter, it does suck but???
That’s probably part of why it got pushed back, Rampage adapting to his new surroundings, and him trying to figure out how not to get kneed through the cage.
Well he can’t hang threw the ropes with blood spewing out of his mouth ko’d simply because UFC uses a cage… Hahaha
haha, yeah, he’ll just bounce his head off and wind up in a ball in the corner.
DAM!!! UFC 91 was going to be the best
That would be hilarious
That is great. Rampage better be ready. In his defense, he is a better fighter this time around.
Silva is a different fighter also, he is not as scary as he used to be.
@timcat, Rampage is different albiet better than the first two times but his last performance not so much
Wanderlei is pretty F~ing scary man, did u watch the 36seconds of destruction he put on Jardine? Seriously I get what u r saying
i missed the jardine fight…by missed the jardine fight, i mean i blinked
wandy is a beast
If Wandy shows up the way he did in his last fight, and Rampage shows up the way he did in his last fight, it’ll be quick work for Wandy. If Wandy shows up like he started against Chuck, and Rampage shows up like he has in other fights, Rampage might get the win this time around.
@southcakalac, that’s pretty funny
@Justin, if even the 2nd round (Chuck fight)Wanderlei shows up v Rampage he would still devistate Jackson imo… Plus Wanderlei’s head is on “straight” (kinda he is a mad man tho) compared to Jackson so that’s gotta help
I just watched the GSP/Serra rematch again. I can’t stand that little twerp Serra. I’m glad GSP blackened his eyes. I kinda wish Ives had let it go a little longer though. Even though I wanted to see GSP win, I thought the stopage was pretty quick. GSP would have won, but I don’t think Serra had a chance to fight his way out of that mess he was in. It was good to see him get the crap beat out of him.
FR702,
Agreed.
Man, I’ve been seeing Kimbo Slice on TV everywhere. I just saw him on the David Blaine show. That guy is becoming Mr. TV or something. I wonder how things will go for him if he loses his next fight.
Dear UFC,
If matched up with a midget I will gladly fill in for the November fight card. Fans like Cole Miller are upset about this and bring up a good point how fights are shifted far too often. I want to give back. I offer my services to fight a midget as part of MMA’s introduction of midgets and dwarfs. Stop being prejudice towards small people and let a coward like me beat on someone much smaller.
Thank You,
UFC NAZI for life
-KOuch
Little people KOuch little people
Well I booked my air and hotel already, and now this (rumor). Least we still got brock n randy.
haha u guys crack me up
1 Wanderlei Silva fight in 2008 what a shame.
if the same wand that showed up for jardine, shows up for rampage…. it could be ugly. especially taking into acct. rampages recent state of mind. maybe the good attitude in the wolfslair will get him back to his old self?
trey_trey,
Don’t want it to be too old of his self…definitely don’t want the same Rampage that got owned by Wanderlei twice in the past.
I wish MMAFRENZY.com would sort out its reporting times. Its prob my fav MMA news site, but puts out its storys about 1 or 2 days after every other MMA website on the net.
I read about this fight being moved about 2 days ago. Be quicker, please
Im greedy for news…
dang i washoping for ufc 91..
Kris, I appriciate you and MMAFrenzy… I think you’re doing a great job.
i think quinton is gonna lose a third time for some reason i dot see him beating silva…i think the win over jardine really lite the fire in wanderlais candle and i can see him making it to a title shot very soon….kinda sad its gonna be a while til this fight between rampage and the axe murderer has to wait till january…..man 2009 is gonna be crazy though we got ufc 93 and then on the sunday following we got the dolphins in the bowl!(i wish)
Fish in the big bowl… Ya gotta believe!
Yeah FR702 ……… but those fights are just a few compared to what the UFC does . have yo looked at their advertised lineup so far for brock/couture? It SUCKS ASS 8——) they got sh!t
so if DREAM cancels only one fight a card then they are doing beter than the UFC .
.. and the cards rule .
just had to throw that one in there .
@Doom, u know I’m a fan of DREAM….. It seems Most people shhiiittt on the UFC 90%of the time that they cancell or move a rumored fight, things happen especially in MMA but damn name a organization that does for MMA what the UFC has…. Perhaps my point is that we have been treated and shown such great fights by the UFC perhaps us as fans have begun to become greedy in a sense..
But F~it I love the UFC DREAM WEC StrikeForce (ya its Cali love) WVR, MMA as a whole I’m crazy for this stuff
I just wish that people would stop trying to shhiitttt on the UFC and such
Hey Fr702
I understand where you are coming from … and i dont want to sound like I am sh!tting on the UFC . They do good things for the sport . its just that I like to see someone stick around for a while to show us another world of MMA and not only the UFC .
So i throw more support to the other guys who try hard to put on cool stuff with their own twist . DREAM is on their way up and have what it takes . its like when the WWF was competing with the NWA and the AWA . they all had a worlds champion and we wondered who was the best if they fought . Then we grew up and realized that people couldnt have broken arms and then wrestle the nxt week with a cast … who knew ?
I was in shock over that for years ……….
Just kidding guys ……… but it was a fun time in the early eighties- drink your milk say your prayers and take some roids er vitamins . sorry hulk .
Doom I understand I remember staying up as a pup with my pops to watch Saturday night main event, then switch over to watch NWA and Lex Luger battle Nikita Koloff….
I definitely agree that a little healthy competition leads to a better product. I don’t however complain about the product the UFC puts on because they’ve been there from the beginning and without the brilliant decisions they’ve made and the Bonnar v Griffin fight that they put on doubt that any other MMA organization (at least in the US) would be where they are today.
Thiago Silva v Lyoto Machida UFC 93
Rampage v Wanderlei UFC 92
Just a “rumor” sooo everyone chill but I read this on BE (bloodyelbow.com) cheers…
Some of you are really salty
What does that mean
I should explain a bit.
Not sure you should be here if you knock the site.
You don’t have to log in. You can say pretty much what you want. The majority are pretty respectable and fun. It’s free and there are some very knowledgeable people here. Every time I get on here I learn something or get something to think about and it is pretty damn cool.
Sooo it was kinda a shot at the guy from the other side of the pond ie where the union jack flys……
I only post here because most of the time it is an intellegent debate not a name calling talkin shhhit type thing
Which is even funnier because they are both from the UK. Correct? You’d think he’d support his fellow countryman. If he was French I’d understand why he hates himself and his countryman. I mean honestly…who likes the french…
I’m from the states and I just like good fighters with good stories.
