The most cursed card in UFC history is just around the corner. UFC 108, which takes place Saturday, has seen more fighters pull out of fights due to illness and injury than any other card to date. One fighter even dropped off the card to film a movie. That fighter is Fighters.com sixth-ranked light heavyweight “Rampage” Quinton Jackson (28-7) who was scheduled to face fourth-ranked “Sugar” Rashad Evans (13-1-1) after their heated exchanges on SpikeTV’s The Ultimate Fighter 10. The UFC was smart enough to instead give Rashad tenth-ranked Thiago Silva (15-1) to fight in the main event.
