Would be good if it was a boxing match at least.

Rampage will do the one thing that only jeff lacy has been able to do... Make roy jones look young again...

It's free on sp1ke tv next wednesday night if you guys want to tune in. Looks like Roy and Rampage will both be in attendance and maybe they'll get in the cage and have a shoving match or something Many questions surrounding Bellator MMA's entry into the world of pay-per-view will be answered next week. A day after MMAJunkie.com reported that Bellator was close to signing a boxing match between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and former boxing champion Roy Jones Jr., Jackson's manager Anthony McGann, who refused to discuss details, said all will be revealed very soon. "What I can say is that the Bellator/Viacom strategy for entering into the pay-per-view market is a very interesting one," McGann said. "It is innovative and will be announced at the Bellator event in Albuquerque on the 31st of this month. "Fans can expect this thing to be rolled out somewhat dramatically, and I suggest that everyone tunes in for a very entertaining event with plenty of unexpected elements that will have the MMA world talking for many weeks to follow." According to sources with knowledge of the situation, both Jackson and Jones will be in attendance at the Bellator 97 event next Wednesday at the Santa Ana Center Albuquerque, N.M. The fight, which is expected to take place at the end of the year, and the pay-per-view plans will be announced on the ****e TV broadcast. "We’ve been talking to Roy and his people about a potential Rampage vs. Roy Jones Jr. fight for over 7 months," McGann added. "If it happens, it would be an incredible fight. Boxing and MMA have both been discussed, and Bjorn has been in these discussions every step of the way. "Can’t say much more than that. We’ll see what happens." Jackson (32-11) left the UFC in January to sign a multi-fight contract with Bellator and Viacom last month, which will also see the 35-year-old host his own reality show and appear on TNA Wrestling. Its always a joke whenever boxers say they are going to MMA. Most of the time its desperation. So sad Roy has reached that point.

This article here says its boxing in multiple places ‘RAMPAGE’ JACKSON, ROY JONES JR. TARGETED FOR PPV BOXING BOUT IN 2013 84 41 Share 145 BY MIKE WHITMAN JUL 25, 2013 A cross-promotional boxing bout between Bellator light heavyweight Quinton Jackson and former multi-time world boxing titlist Roy Jones Jr. is expected to take place on pay-per-view in late 2013. A source with knowledge of the matchup verified the planned booking with *******.com on Thursday. An exact date for the confrontation and the corresponding weight class could not be immediately confirmed, but the fight is expected to be announced next week during ****e TV’s broadcast of Bellator 97. MMAJunkie.com first reported the bout. Jackson, 35, signed with Bellator last month with plans to also join the TNA Wrestling roster in a deal akin to Muhammad Lawal’s. “Rampage” exited the UFC earlier this year amid complaints about his treatment from the Zuffa-owned organization, which he joined in 2007. Jackson won the UFC light heavyweight title that same year by knocking out Chuck Liddell but relinquished the belt in 2008 to Forrest Griffin. More recently, Jackson departed the UFC on the heels of three straight losses, dropping a January decision to Glover Teixeira in his final fight with the promotion. Jones, 44, is regarded by many as one of the finest fighters in the history of boxing and was long linked to a potential matchup with former UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva. The 44-year-old began his boxing career in 1989 and went on to win world titles at 160, 168 and 175 pounds before winning the WBA heavyweight championship from John Ruiz in 2003. The Florida native won 49 of his first 50 fights but has gone just 7-7 in his last 14 fights. Jones did win his last two contests, however, winning the UBO cruiserweight belt in 2011 before besting Polish talent Pawel Glazewski last year.

I wish Roy would just quit if I was rich I would pay him to stop fighting Me too. I used to idolize this man. He used to say he wouldn't be one of those old guys that wouldn't hang around too long. Man he's been around too long for the better part of a decade already!

If it is actually a boxing match rjj wins easy imo. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android I think it's gonna be a boxing match tbh. The UFC matched the flat footed, older toney up against probably their best HW wrestler at the time because they knew it was a bad matchup and the whole thing was intended to make mma appear superior to boxing. Bellator likes standup fighters and Viacom who owns them is going to start airing kickboxing in the fall and almost had a deal to show boxing last year too. IMO they have no interest in trying to make make 1 sport appear better than the other but are more interested in bringing those fans together, and a boxing match with Roy jones winning would go a long way in making boxing fans more receptive to their channel (sp1ke tv) and the various fight programming theyre are going to show on there.
