- Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is throwing his hat into the Bellator light heavyweight title ring.
The promotion announced during a Monday conference call that Jackson will square off with former Bellator 205-pound ruler Christian M’Pumbu as part of a four-man light heavyweight bracket which begins at Bellator 110 on Feb. 28. The tournament will also pit Muhammed Lawal against Mikhail Zayats.
Bellator 110 kicks off the promotion’s 10th season and will take place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Although participants were not announced, the event is also expected to include the beginning of an eight-man featherweight tournament. The evening’s main card will air on Spike TV, with preliminary bouts streaming immediately prior on Spike.com.
Jackson was expected to make his Bellator debut on pay-per-view against Tito Ortiz on Nov. 2. However, neck injuries forced Ortiz to pull out of the fight. Instead, “Rampage squared off with Joey Beltran at Bellator 108, winning via technical knockout in the opening frame. It was the Memphis native’s first fight following a 7-5 stint with the UFC. Jackson said during Monday’s call that he is no longer interested in fighting Ortiz. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Rampage-Jackson-Enters-Bellator-LHW-Tourney-Faces-Christian-MPumbu-on-Feb-28-62379 | |

| Yeah, in all honesty there is no reason for Rampage not to win. If he can't make it through the tourney he may as well just retire or go to Japan. | |

| In other scintilating Bellator news, Cheick Kongo is fighting for a "world title" in his next fight. Yep, that's right; a "world title". Go ahead and ponder that for a few seconds.
Yeah, that's the appropriate reaction. | |
