Rampage Jackson on Jon Jones: "He Has My Belt"

Rampage Jackson Wants the UFC Light Heavyweight Title Back

Bleacher Report's Mike Hodges Reports:

After defeating Matt Hamill at UFC 130, UFC president Dana White announced that Quinton "Rampage" Jackson would likely be the next contender to face UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones.

But Jackson revealed he went into his bout with a fractured hand—an injury that could prevent him from competing for a title shot if he is not medically cleared.

Jackson elaborated on the injury during the UFC 130 post-fight press conference.

"Honestly, I hurt my hand in Japan back in December/Christmas, drunken around, fighting with my friend in the hallway. I thought it would heal up,” Jackson explained to reporters.

While the win wasn't the most entertaining performance of Jackson's career, it was enough to elevate himself into the title picture.

White said that should Jackson's injury not prevent him from competing, he will be in line for a title bout with Jones. 

But Jackson confidently stated he will be able to compete against Jones and accepted the bout.

Jones is currently out of action nursing an injury that has prevented him from training, but if both fighters heal properly and all goes according to plan, Jackson and Jones could be scheduled for a title bout in September or October.
