UFC 114: Rampage Jackson vs Rashad Evans video and results












UFC 114 ended with something of a surprising upset last night, as Rashad Evans controlled much of his bout with Rampage Jackson before taking a unanimous decision.

The two had been rumored to do battle for some time, dating back as far as UFC 107, when the initial duel was set to take place. But Jackson withdrew because of his work on the A-Team movie, prompting an angry response from UFC President Dana White and frustration from Evans.

But Evans got his revenge last night, completely obliterating Jackson for the first two rounds. Jackson, to his credit, stormed back in the final round, turning in what Matt Murai of AmericanSuperstarMag.com called a "third-round onslaught," but when the final bell tolled Evans was the victor by scores of 30-27, 29-28 and 30-27.

The fighters weighed in at just one pound apart and both have championship pedigrees with the UFC, but Jackson was considered the favorite and entered with plenty of momentum. An Evans victory wasn't necessarily a shock, but to see him own Jackson so thoroughly through the first two rounds was something of a surprise.
