DALLAS – UFC light heavyweight superstar Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s decision to
forego a December bout with Rashad Evans has resulted in a series of
headaches for UFC brass.

Rescheduling main events and shuffling fight locations may seem
troubling enough, but today White admitted he was forced to scrap plans
for a potential third event in November based on Jackson’s decision to
take a role as B.A. Baracus in a feature film version of “The A-Team.”

“Thanks to [expletive] B.A. Baracus, I couldn’t [expletive] pull it
off,” White said. “B.A. [expletive] me. The collateral damage that was
done by him doing this thing was unbelievable.”
