RAMPAGE JACKSON
ROY JONES JR.
Rampage Jackson will take on Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match in December on Pay-Per-View according to USA TODAY (you can read the article here). This is an attempt for BELLATOR MMA to take a run at UFC when it airs it's PPV UFC 168 in December.
If BELLATOR MMA wants attention then they'll definitely get it with this bout. Roy is 44 years old and Jackson is 35 so neither man is in his prime. The match itself may be terrible but it will definitely draw fans as the legendary boxer takes on the MMA star.
Dana White thinks that the venture will lose money for SPIKE TV and BELLATOR. He said in a press conference after UFC ON FOX 8, “They have no f***ing clue what they're doing," White said after UFC on Fox 8 on Saturday. "When they're in this business, right, and things are going well, you start grabbing for anything. You have a bunch of guys who don't know anything about fighting at the network. Networks acquire content. They don't become promoters."
