"Rampage" Jackson, Fedor Emelianenko's, Couture news.

Quote :

UFC star Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been cast in the A-Team movie based on the popular 1970s televison show. Rampage will play will play the role of B.A. Baracus, made famous by WrestleMania 1 main eventer Mr. T. The film begins shooting next year.

-- On Wednesday afternoon at Fedor Emelianenko's public workout session in New York City, Strikeforce CEO and founder Scott Coker announced that Fedor's (30-1) first opponent under the Strikeforce banner will be undefeated heavyweight contender Brett Rogers (10-0). No date or venue has been announced for the fight, but its been discussed that Fedor's first fight would take place in October or Nevember.

-- Randy Couture is doing a video blog series leading up to his fight against Minotauro Nogueira this Saturday night on Pay-Per-View. Part 1 is now online and can be viewed at YouTube.com.

Fedor/Rogers is kind of like the Strikeforce's version of Lesnar/Carwin. Just having them face off against 2 guys who look physically capable of stopping them with knockout power in hopes of them landing a good hard shot.

Using The Sun as a source of information is like saying that you made something up randomly. The paper recently posted an article that Megan Fox has already signed on to play Catwoman in the next Batman movie and has actually been behind most of the bullsh*t that is floating around out there.

One rumor that the paper spread is that UFC champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson" has been cast as BA Baracus in the upcoming "A-Team" movie. The man is a beast and is no stranger to wearing chains around his neck. He seems like a good fit, but since The Sun started the rumor, this information had to be double checked.

MTV News got in touch with Jackson's manager, who revealed that there is no truth to the rumor. So The Sun fails again, but at least it was an interesting piece of nonsense.

Do you think director Joe Carnahan should consider an athlete for BA Baracus, instead of a rapper/singer (Common, Tyrese)?
