Bisping: Rampage Will Fight Silva or Rua in December
By: Chad Edward Posted On: September 1, 2008 at 8:47amUFC middleweight “Count” Michael Bisping (16-1) revealed Monday in an interview with British newspaper The Sun that he’s “heard [Fighters.com's top light heavyweight contender "Rampage" Quinton Jackson (28-7) will] be facing Wanderlei or Shogun.”
Jackson recently joined Wolfslair Academy in Widnes, south of Liverpool, Bisping’s training camp.
“A lot of people think I had a big part to play in it but that’s not how it went down. I didn’t have a great deal of involvement in getting him to sign for the Wolfslair,” Bisping said.
Jackson is 0-2 versus sixth-ranked “Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva (32-8-1) and 0-1 versus ninth-ranked “Shogun” Mauricio Rua (16-3), all three fights in PRIDE.
Bisping added, “I’m sure whoever he gets in December, everyone at the Wolfslair will be behind him 100 per cent and fingers crossed he’ll get his revenge.”

Jackson is the shit!!!!!!
i think jackson is going to get knocked out if he fights wanderlei silva and i think him and rua would be a closer fight but i still believe he would loose that fight as well.
Neither Silva nor Rua are the fighters they were, for reasons I can only suspect. But, I agree, Silva is a bad style match-up for Rampage.
