Rashad Evans defeated Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson at UFC 114
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson will be looking for revenge as Rashad Evans defeated him via unanimous decision when they fought in the main event of UFC 114 in 2010.
Evans utilized his wrestling to secure takedowns and ensured the fight was contested on the ground and against the fence. It was an effective strategy as it forced Jackson to exert his energy to defend against takedowns and fight off his back rather than pushing an aggressive pace and forcing 'Suga' into a striking battle.
