Oh right, Brett Favre already did that.

But seriously, Quinton Rampage Jackson is returning to the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) probably to pacify Rashad Evans and UFC president Dana White.

That’s right, Jackson stated in his website that he’s returning to the organization to finish out his UFC contract, though he gave no timetable for his potential return.

Jackson outlined a series of events that began with his signing with the UFC, carried on until his recent decision to play B.A. Baracus in a feature version of ”The A-Team,” and ended with a decision to walk away from MMA.

Jackson recently coached opposite Rashad Evans on the ”The Ultimate Fighter 10.” Team Rashad advanced seven of eight fighters past the first round, and both finalists came from his team. Evans came across as the mature, team-driven coach while Jackson was often portrayed is immature and aloof.

UFC president Dana White made no secret of his despise over Jackson’s decision to take ”The A-Team” gig and hold up what was supposed to be a post – ”TUF” coach vs. coach fight with Evans at UFC 107.

The event, which now features a headliner of lightweight champion BJ Penn vs. Diego Sanchez, was booked in Jackson’s hometown of Memphis, Tenn., and takes place next weekend without Jackson.

Jackson (30-7 MMA, 5-1 UFC), a former UFC light heavyweight champion…

Apparently, that’s what the UFC president wants you to think.

In case you didn’t know, Kimbo Slice is a part of the Ultimate Fighter 10 and UFC president Dana White has already made it public that Kimbo will fight inside the Octagon no matter what happens in the show and despite the fact that Kimbo lost his first fight in it.

And since Kimbo Slice already lost to a fat-ass like Roy Nelson before Dana White made it public that he’s going to the UFC anyway, it is only normal for some people to think that Kimbo is getting some sort of ‘’special treatment” from the UFC president.

When White was asked if it was true, his reaction didn’t surprise me at all.

”That’s bullshit,” Dana White said speaking to the claim made by some of the other fighters on the show that Kimbo had some sort of special treatment, including having his entourage, including his wife and kids, at his fight.

”His wife and kids were never there. His manager was there.”

”Let me tell you what, I’ve never seen such fucking crybabies in my entire life as the heavyweights. It’s unbelievable. The only difference with Kimbo and the other guys on the show was that if Kimbo made it to the UFC, his contract would be bigger than the others.”

As for the guy who beat Kimbo Slice in Ultimate Fighter 10…

Apparently, somebody leaked out some info on Kimbo’s little adventure in the latest season of the Ultimate Fighter.

Yes, everybody’s looking for some info on what exactly happened to Kimbo Slice in the Ultimate Fighter 10. In case you didn’t know, he’s trying to go legit now as he try to climb inside the Octagon through Dana White’s Ultimate Fighter reality show. Unfortunately for Kimbo, it didn’t go very well.

According to some rumors, Kimbo Slice lost by brutal knockout in the first round of his fight and then storms out of the house afterwards. This is according to a forum post from a Wes Sims, a fighter who was also competing in TUF 10.

Unfortunately, Sims (or some random dude posting as Sims…) didn’t specify if Slice lost to Roy Nelson or not.

There’s also this one rumor that claims Slice winning his first fight in the house, beating Roy Nelson via split decision. The call was very controversial and for the first time in TUF history, UFC president Dana White was offered the power to overturn the judges’ decision but decided…

And it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to determine that Jackson is the latest guy to have a feud with UFC president Dana White.

Yep, in a shocking turn of events, the UFC lost one of it’s more popular MMA fighters after fight fans learned that Rampage Jackson was quitting the UFC. You read it, he’s quitting, but since MMA fighters who have feuded with White ended up coming back to the UFC anyway, we’re really not sure if this thing is for real this time or not.

But as far as Quinton Rampage Jackson is concerned, it’s as real as it gets, for now. And after Dana White called this former UFC light heavyweight champion a baby for choosing to pursue the movie business and put his MMA career on hold, Jackson doesn’t want anything to do with White’s balding chrome right now.

”Rampage is a grown man,” Dana White said. ”He’s acting like a baby right now, but he’s a grown man. If he wants to be in the movie business, Rampage, good luck to you, man. I hope he makes it big, and I’m not being sarcastic. I hope the movie thing works out for him. If that’s what he truly wants to do, and that’s what he feels and that’s what he thinks his career is, I wish him all the luck in the world.”

In case you didn’t know, Rampage Jackson will be in the new ‘A-Team‘ movie as B.A. Baracus, the character Mr. T himself played back in the day. Rampage figured getting this movie deal was more important than…

At 35 years old, he doesn’t have much of a choice but to hype up anything that gives him a second chance.

At Ultimate Fighter 10, that is exactly what Kimbo Slice will have, a second chance. For all ya’ll who didn’t know, he’ll be a part of the upcoming reality show looking to prove once and for all that he can go toe to toe with the best of MMA.

Well, Kimbo Slice did a fine job in proving that the last time he was inside a cage when he was scheduled to fight Ken Shamrock in an EliteXC pay per view event. For those of you who missed it, Shamrock got injured, so they had to put somebody in to replace the MMA veteran.

They got virtual unknown Seth Petruzelli and just when everybody was betting on Kimbo to have an easy fight, Petruzelli knocked him out cold with what looked like a love tap.

That loss was so devastating that Kimbo never got inside the cage since.

Almost a year later, here he is trying to vindicate himself by singing himself up for a chance to be an ”Ultimate Fighter” in the UFC. It won’t be easy for him though, especially since he’s already 35 years old.

”You’ve got to be well-rounded to be an ultimate fighter,” Slice said. ”I can’t just come with one dimension; I’ll get smashed. So I gotta suit up. I’ve gotta learn some ground shit. I’ve gotta learn some wrestling shit. I’ve got to prepare for mixed martial arts and get ready for it.”

”I’m the only guy going in the house with a…”

Too bad he’s quitting the boxing gig even before he got the chance to split Manny Pacquiao in half eh?

YouTube sensation Kimbo Slice wants to salvage what’s left of his MMA career. After his war of words with UFC President Dana White in the past, he has finally acknowledged how big the UFC is to the sport of MMA and he wants to be a part of it.

You read it, Kimbo Slice is jumping on the UFC bandwagon and his only shot of finally setting foot inside the Octagon is by winning the Ultimate Fighter 10. Yes, the guy is actually entering the tournament for a chance to win a contract with the UFC. And since the guy really doesn’t have anything going for him right now, any contract would do.

”I don’t think there’s anybody I’ve talked more smack about than this guy,” UFC President Dana White said of the street fighting sensation while he was a guest on the Carmichael Dave show.

”I said the only way this guy ever gets in to the UFC is through The Ultimate Fighter and here he is, I gotta respect that. I tell you what, [on the first day of shooting] he walked in the gym, let me tell you what he’s pretty serious. He wasn’t messing around, he wasn’t joking, he wasn’t laughing.”

With the way his stint with EliteXC turned out, you wouldn’t be laughing either.

”A lot of people were offering him a lot of money and he wants to be…”

American Idol topics make me yawn, but like a fly taking a brief rest on your nose, you can’t really ignore it especially with the Finals Night set stage for a showdown between two unlikely finalists.

Jordin Sparks, the 17-year-old who can kick Blake Lewis‘ ass in more ways than one, is the bookmakers’ favorite for American Idol betting odds. If Melinda Doolittle were in competition, I believe this would be different.

It was almost a done deal that Jordin and Melinda will send tremors thru your TV screens as they hit the high notes song after song. But, well, Blake beat-boxed his way into the finals. Silent little crawler that one.

Although I would have preferred a Blake-Sanjaya Malakar head-to-head. Now, that’s entertainment. Not to mention witnessing how Simon Cowell’s head will explode on live broadcast. Or maybe that face-ff ought to be on America’s Got Talent.

Much as I want Blake to claim the cake, America takes its talent show very seriously. So Jordin will probably win. Because America prefers to give the trophy to the howling divas. Celine Dion? Mariah Carey? If you want to torture me, an exile to the Arctic woul be better than forcibly listening to these two.

However, not the bookmakers nor Simon nor I have the clearest picture on who will win come Wednesday night. Simon says “One is a better entertainer (Lewis) and one is a better singer (Sparks).”

But if my predictions are right, then expect the expected. And brace yourself for…

And then there were three.

American Idol sent Lakisha Jones home a week after Simon Cowell offered to kiss her leaving him with a smothered lipstick the rest of the night. This time not even a ‘kiss my ass’ last goodbyes were exchanged. Although every American Idol betting odds showed that this mama was on the verge of getting the boot.

Now three contestants remain: Jordin Sparks, Melinda Doolittle, and that human boom box Blake Lewis. That You Give Love A Bad Name version he did last week sounded like an 80s electronic DJ remix. You gotta hand it to this kid for being original.

Having said that, I think I’d like Blake to win no matter how wishful thinking that looks. For once spare us of these tiresome belters who keep shoving ‘em high notes down our infected eardrums. Give more points to showmanship and improvisation.

I mean, c’mon, pop idols in reality aren’t the best singers in town. If that’s the hard standard then we should be burning these Justin Timberlakes and Britney Spears on the incinerators. Forget that most of us would love to do just that anytime anyway.

However, it’s been clear that many AI hardcore fanatics and even Simon would love to see a showdown between Jordin and Melinda. This to keep up the pretension that the show is serious about launching the best singer among them.

So in this case Blake is most likely to say sayonara next week. I can’t help but think more and more then that there is a greater design in all these. And Sanjaya Malakar’s overstaying welcome…

There was a humongous sigh of relief that sent waves across the globe after Sanjaya Malakar was booted out of American Idol tonight.

Yeah, I guess America realized it has had enough of his silly antics that it was time to get down to real business of discovering the next manufactured pop idol whose existence we’ll probably half forget come the show’s next season.

You see he’s like bubblegum. Pretty soon it loses its taste and he wasn’t funny anymore. Including his hair.

So what do we watch now? Some boring compilation of cliches week after week with these contestants belting out to the point of throwing their tonsils out on our TV screens?

Did all the teenyboppers get extended detention last night barring them from going near the phone to vote for their unloved idol? Hmmm…I smell conspiracy here. Even Ryan Seacrest could not hide his girly-man crush on Sanjaya after final vote counts were announced. “I can promise you: We won’t soon forget you.”

Even with Simon Cowell’s eye-rolling controversy, the gun control issue, Kim Jong Il’s threat to bomb our asses off, or Iran’s persistence to continue its nuclear program, none of the mattered this night. The biggest news in the universe is Sanjaya’s…

Yep, that Reality TV Show called ”The Contender” where fighters are suppose to be groomed as boxing champions AIN’T SHIT.

Remember Peter Manfredo Jr. and the way he won the first season of Contender despite losing his first match in the damn thing? Well, he sucked just as bad this time, facing off with his FIRST significant opponent, the World Super Middleweight champion, Joe Calzaghe at Cardiff, Wales.

Oh yeah, Peter Manfredo Jr. got his ass kicked like a government mule. (Thanks Mr. Ross…) In front of more than 35,000 fans, Joe Calzaghe showed how pathetic TV Reality Shows really is, exposing how insignificant ”The Contender” is in the world of boxing.

Hometown hero Joe Calzaghe made the historic 20th defense of the Super Middleweight championship title by dominating Peter Manfredo Jr., a star of ”The Contender” reality show’s first season. Of course, Manfredo got the fight based on his star power from the series, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it was a showcase fight for Calzaghe, not a serious defense for the sport’s longest-reigning active champion (almost 10 years).

Calzaghe’s domination of Manfredo exposed ”The Contender” series for what it is, an entertaining show from reality TV guru Mark Burnett that gives fighters with NO TALENT a chance to become popular and make money. Unfair eh?

But hey, there’s also Manny Pacquiao, a classic example of fighters with no talent but earns butt-loads of cash. Unfortunately, he still looks like William Shatner’s butt hole that ”The Contender” can’t afford to have him and show that ugly mug on…
