Shame he keeps dodging fights!

He avoided Machida, and his fight with evans has been canned till next year due to Acting duties.

But he won't be getting on a plane, sucker.

Apparently Five will be showing TUF10 also.

the highlights are 10 days after the Event. They will not show all events but at least 6 per year. They will get as many fights into the 1 hour (48 mins with ad breaks taken out) slot they can.

I hate Rampage. I hope Rashad sparks him out when they finally fight.

I think it's Five USA that is showing TUF.

Echoed!

Slightly wild maybe against a pretty good striker but his power told and, hopefully, despite the anti-Brit boos (Contender fall out?) the obvious excitement he brings will get him more fights with the UFC.

Good. I hate watching him these days.

Shame he didn't retire in 2006 at his best.

Thats pretty much what he says, he's going to have one more "goodbye" fight in japan or croatia and then thats him retired, hes not going to fulfil his UFC contract.

rampage is retired! Seems he's fallen out with Dana over the A-team role amongst other stuff
