At times, the long-awaited UFC 114 grudge match between former light heavyweight champions “Suga” Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson looked like the calm after the storm of trash talk and bad blood. But an action-packed third round and a solidly executed gameplan from Evans will remain in the minds of fight fans for a while as he pounded out a three round unanimous decision win over his rival Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Scores were 30-27 twice and 29-28 for Evans, who called the victory “a huge relief.”
“He’s tough,” said Jackson, who was coming off a layoff of over a year since his last bout at UFC 96 in March of 2009. “He’s faster than I anticipated. He was the man today.”
Jackson, whose rivalry with Evans began after that UFC 96 fight and escalated when the two were coaches on the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, raced across the Octagon at the bell to get in Evans’ face, but it was Evans who got the first shot in, a lightning fast right hand that rocked Jackson and sent him sprawling into the cage. Evans locked his foe up there, but Jackson was able to remain upright and avoid the takedown, even scoring briefly with a knee before referee Herb Dean broke the stalemate with 2:50 left. With 2:15 remaining, Evans shot off a quick combination and followed up with a takedown. After taking some ground strikes, Jackson made it back to his feet but Evans wouldn’t release his grip on his opponent against the fence. Dean again broke the stalemate, this time with 28 seconds left, and it was Jackson ending the round strong by stuffing a takedown and scoring with a quick flurry before the bell.

UFC Handicapping this fight there is no question who is the better fighter. Quinton Jackson only had his powerful strikes. Rashad Evans knows he cannot strike with Jackson and will need to rely on speed and quick jabs to set up the takedowns.
Rampage lacks is kick defense and does little to check kicks or work on his kicking game. It is unlikely that Rampage has been working on improving his his inability to check kicks which cost him the fight against Forrest Griffin and almost his fight against Jardine.
Evans hails from one of the best mixed martial arts camps in the world in Jackson’s Fighting Submission. Jackson on the other hand does not have anyone overlooking the “small” details in his training. He currently works out of the Wolfslair MMA Academy with Michael Bisping, Cheick Kongo and Paul Kelly. Most fighters at this club are average fighters at best.
There is no one to push Jackson at this club as their jujitsu and a wrestling coach is non-existent. Unlike Evans there will be no game plan to help Jackson come up with a game plan.
If you look at Rampage’s record he tends to have trouble with multi skilled fighters. Jackson has always relied upon his power striking to win matches and when this fails he has no other answer.
Evans is too smart a fighter to fall into a striking battle with Rampage. For Jackson, the desire to fight competitively is gone as he is more focused on his movie career.
Jackson is lacking in proper training, wrestling and grappling skills as well as a real desire to continue competing at this level.
