The Distraction

At the time this is published, it will be a few hours before the big UFC bout between Rashad Evans and Quinton Jackson.

'Rampage' Jackson is one of my favourite fighters.

Not tonight, though.

The reason why I am backing Evans is due to the fact that Jackson has been distracted with other commitments most notably his role playing B.A. Baracas in the soon to be released A-Team movie.

I'm basing my theory on the time when Lennox Lewis was facing off against Hasim Rahman not so long after he appeared in Ocean's Eleven.

Lewis was upset that night.

I wasn't as upset - I predicted he would lose.

It's a similar scenario tonight although it isn't as one-sided as the boxing match in 2001 was. Both of tonight's fighters are evenly matched.

I'm not putting money on it but - if I was - it would be on Rashad.

Update - I was right. The fight was close in parts, though.
