Viacom is expected to announce plans to go head-to-head with pay-per-view juggernaut Zuffa LLC and its UFC 168 offering at next week’s Bellator 97 event on Spike TV. An unveiling of Bellator fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s plans with the promotion will likely include a pay-per-view boxing match with former multi-division boxing champ Roy Jones Jr., multiple sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). The fight is expected to take place at the end of the year, though a date and weight class for the bout could not immediately be confirmed. It’s also unclear how the event will be branded given Bellator and parent company Viacom’s focus on MMA. “We’ve been talking to Roy and his people over a potential ‘Rampage’ vs. Roy fight for over seven months,” a representative from Jackson’s longtime team, Wolfslair MMA, told MMAjunkie.com. The rep requested anonymity due to the ongoing negotiations related to the matchup

After a Little Maintenance, Eric Reynolds Sees XFC 24 as Opportunity to Get Back in the Title Hunt

It’s been nearly seven months since Floridian Eric “It’s A Wrap” Reynolds lost to Nick Newell for the XFC lightweight championship. And even though he’s had opportunities to return from that loss before now, Reynolds has purposefully taken time off to work on the mistakes he made in his fight to Newell, so that it doesn’t ever happen again. “I’ve been working on my ground a lot because that was my third rear naked choke loss, and I don’t want there to be a fourth,” said Reynolds. “I’ve been working on moving forward and pushing the action. I feel like I’d been holding back my last couple fights, so I plan on not relying so much on the point system, but more so just looking at finishing (my opponents) and hurting them. “He was a good opponent and it was a good lesson for me. I learned I had to train harder and work harder on any aspect because anything can happen at any time in there, so I’ve got to prepared.” Reynolds is due to return to the XFC this Friday night on the same card that the title he lost will be decided, but not with Newell involved. In the past month, Newell decided he would not face mandatory challenger Scott Holtzman, and thus was stripped of his title and has since signed with the World Series of Fighting
