[T]he UFC has announced their future plans for Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
It’s not an immediate release like he has been campaigning for, but the UFC has agreed to release “Rampage” Jackson after his last contracted bout.
To send off the former champion will be none other than fellow former champ, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
The two have reportedly agreed to square off at a yet to be determined event as announced just moments ago on “UFC Tonight” on FUEL TV.
Both former champions are coming off of losses. Rampage to Bader and Shogun to Dan Henderson.
As soon as a date and venue are announced we will update this story.

This almost seems like a "that's what you get for running your mouth" move by the UFC. Kind of like they're gonna make sure he gets nice and pummeled before leaving.
On the other hand, Rampage and Shogun have been saying for awhile now that they want to fight one more time, so I guess it's a win-win for both sides.

Agree. I was actually hoping for a Jackson/Franklin fight for both their final farewells.

Heh ... I will like this one. It will end Rampage's career with a BANG. I would like to see him unconscious at the end so there is no controversy.

Pretty sure you will get your wish.
The biggest reason I don't like this fight is that Rampage doesn't deserve such a high profile fight. And this fight does very little to build Shogun's resume. It's almost just an exhibition of sorts.
