Quinton "Rampage" Jackson could have been the next coach of "The Ultimate Fighter."

According to both Jackson and UFC president Dana White, the organization offered "Rampage" an opportunity to be a coach opposite Chael Sonnen on TUF 17 before asking Jon Jones. Interestingly enough though, Jackson turned down the opportunity.

"Forget TUF," Jackson told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. "I'm not interested in that."

Good thing for him though he dodged more than a bullet, he dodged a fully loaded machine gun. Thank the lord. He could have been been hit by a strong force of wind, as well.

bigheadrhino 18 Member Since: 4/26/12 Posts: 146	That would have made more sense than Jones. I have a feeling Chael will be a really good coach. As much as it sucks for the fighters, good coach vs terrible coach seems to make for the most interesting seasons. You have ignored this user.

UGCTT Combat Can Happen 13 Member Since: 7/28/11 Posts: 2399	Makes sense to me. Getting up there in years, he hasn't had much success on TUF in the past, and he's good for money. Plus he hates fighting wrestlers who use top control to grind out wins. The fact Rampage wants to have exciting fights and catches hate for it is a head scratcher for me. You have ignored this user.

Goderson Silva Member Since: 11/17/11 Posts: 2909	Motivated Rampage would take Chaels head off. He isn't ducking him because he refused to do TUF maybe he wants to see his kids etc and also done it once plus TUF is stale. You have ignored this user.

Props to Chael because if I was him in this moment, I wet myself. Being immobile and having Anderson Silva walk at you with his matrix swagger has to be terrifying. Phone Post

UGCTT Combat Can Happen - Makes sense to me.

Getting up there in years, he hasn't had much success on TUF in the past, and he's good for money. Plus he hates fighting wrestlers who use top control to grind out wins.

The fact Rampage wants to have exciting fights and catches hate for it is a head scratcher for me.

He wants exciting fights? The dude has become some predictable in his approach that, at this point, it isn't even funny.

Phisher Member Since: 1/4/09 Posts: 2648	Rampage was on TUF twice and said he hated it. He's also complained repeatedly about being matched up against wrestlers. There's nothing surprising about this at all to anybody who's paid attention to Rampage's interviews. This is just Helwani instigating again. You have ignored this user.
