Exit Jackson, Enter Machida

It was confirmed earlier today that UFC light heavyweight kingpin Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is turning down the fight with Rashad Evans now that it has been moved to UFC 98 to replace the Lesnar/Mir fight. The reason for this being that he has fought twice in two months, and after the three round war with Keith Jardine at UFC 96, he would not be ready in time for UFC 98. So as expected, the replacement has been announced as undefeated Lyoto Machida, who always brings a unique style to the cage every time he fights. Stay tuned for more on this story, as well as my phone interview with UFC middleweight Kendall Grove, later in the evening.
