28/05/09 - Confirmed: Rampage v Rashad on TUF 10
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will be opposed by Rashad Evans on season ten of The Ultimate Fighter reality series, Fighters Only can confirm.
A source close to former champion Rashad Evans says that rumours he will be taking a coaching spot on TUF10 are true.
And Jackson himself yesterday confirmed his own participation as a coach via an update on his Twitter account.
Lyoto Machida had been tipped to oppose Jackson on the show, leading to an end-of-season title fight, but that rumour was dismissed by Ed Soares yesterday.
However, Machida's official website does say that his first title defence will take place against Jackson in Las Vegas, Nevada in September.
That means Jackson will challenge for the title before facing Evans in the traditional TUF coach v coach match.
Jackson v Evans could thus either be a title match in itself, or a chance for Evans to earn a title shot against Machida should Jackson fail to take the belt from him.
