debut against Kim Rose in Las Vegas this past weekend.  The event was the first ever combined MMA/boxing event. 

 As for her husband, Randy, who knows when he will fight again.  Couture is supposedly starring in the Scorpion King 2, which will bypass theaters and go straight to DVD. 

 

#7 Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson (6'1 205 pounds)

The 30 year old Jackson (28-6) exudes confidence inside and outside the ring.  He made a name for himself in Pride, although he never was able to become the top dog in their light heavyweight division. Jackson, actually lost five times during his career in Pride.   Surprisingly he has made a smooth transition into the Octagon becoming the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.   Jackson has one of the most memorable  knockouts in MMA history, which occurred when he slammed Ricardo Arona to the ground           

Two years ago, Jackson probably would not have even have cracked a Top 25 list now he is in the Top Ten.                                     

Jackson had been vying to play Mr. T in the A-Team movie but the rumor is the role could be going to Ice Cube, which is a terrible choice in my opinion.                     

Jackson will be fighting Forrest Griffin at UFC 86. 

 

#6 Georges St. Pierre (5'10 169 pounds)

The 27 year old St. Pierre has compiled a 16-2 record.  He has noteworthy wins over Matt Hughes, BJ Penn and Sean Sherk

St. Pierre is the current UFC welterweight champion and is scheduled to fight Jon Fitch at UFC 87.
