Jackson and Evans are expected to meet in a boxing bout in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, sometime in 2025. The exact date for the
fight is yet to be announced. The promotion Influencer Crossover
Series made it official on social media for their first event,
which is entitled ICS Mania I. Jackson and Evans also both
announced the fight via social media.
“Rampage” and Evans starred as rival coaches on “The Ultimate
Fighter 10 “in 2009. The two met in a non-title main event clash at
UFC 114 the following year, where “Suga” emerged victorious via a
unanimous decision.
Over the course of career that spanned two decades, Jackson has
competed in a number of major promotions, including the
UFC — where he captured light heavyweight gold — Bellator
MMA and
Pride Fighting Championships. “Rampage” hasn’t fought since a
knockout loss to Fedor
Emelianenko at Bellator 237 in 2019.
Meanwhile, Evans is the “TUF” Season 2 winner and a former UFC
light heavyweight champ. The Hall of Famer exited the promotion on
a five-fight skid in 2018. He has since picked up a unanimous
decision win over Gabriel
Checco under the Eagle FC banner in 2022.
