Quinton Jackson Returns To Bellator MMA

Bellator MMA has issued the following statement:

Following an amicable agreement to settle the litigation between the two parties, the always entertaining and exciting Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is returning to Bellator. Bellator MMA is thrilled to have “Rampage,” one of the most recognizable fighters in the history of the sport, joining a very competitive light heavyweight division featuring champion Liam McGeary, Phil Davis, King Mo, Tito Ortiz, Emanuel Newton, Linton Vassell among others.

I've been fairly quiet on the Jackson/Bellator contract dispute, but this outcome sure seems to lend credence to my opinion that the UFC wasn't as interested in Jackson as they were in using him to "prove that the UFC isn't a monopoly."

Thank You, Axl Rotten (And R.I.P.)

As most of you already know, yesterday, Axl Rotten was found dead.

At this time, I don't want to judge Axl's personal life, his career choices, or the way he came to pass.

I do, however, want to sincerely thank Axl, because were it not for him, I can't imagine how drastically different my life would be.

To shorten a long story, Axl not only got me started in pro wrestling, he literally made it possible for me to eventually make a living covering the sport.

Axl was a friend and a mentor, and, though I've shown my gratitude to him many times, one more time certainly can't hurt.

Axl, may you find the peace in death that you never seemed to find in life.

Until we meet again.
