  • The Hills Meets Rampage?  By : 5thRound.com
    According to Juanito Ibarra, Quinton Jackson’s trainer, Rampage is going to take a six month break after his unification bout with Dan Henderson at UFC 75 in London. Apparently Jackson is being offered a reality TV show with either MTV or SPIKE. Since the UFC hasn’t really hyped up Jackson the way that they did for Liddell, I’m guessing that Rampage’s camp is going to market themselves to make sure they get the props (and the money) they deserve.
