You know when you’re watching animal planet and that raging bull get’s stopped dead in it’s tracks by a tranquilizer dart? Yea, well that bull is Randy Couture and the dart came from the gun of Dana White. It seems as though Randy was getting ahead of himself in his lobbying for a title shot. Confirmed yesterday on a Sacramento radio show, Dana White stated that the winner of UFC 114 Rashad Evans vs. Rampage Jackson will get the first crack at Shogun Rua’s new bling.
“The winner of the Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans fight will get the first shot at Shogun,” White said via text message
If Rampage Jackson wins this comeback fight, a rematch with Shogun will be on tap, five years in the making. A Rua/Evans match-up would be somewhat fluff for fans, since he was KO’s by Lyoto Machida in his last quest for the belt.

I hope Rashad gets his block knocked off.
