The former Light-Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson failed to reach the catch weight at 205 after registering 211 this Saturday February 25. Jackson who came from an injury prior to the co-main event match against Ryan Bader on UFC 144 was overweight by 6 pounds. According to the UFC management, Bader will still continue the fight against Rampage but he will be able to receive an additional 20% of Jackson's purse.
According to Jackson "I didn't want to miss this fight because this fight was so important to me and I fought so hard to get it"
