UFC president Dana White confirmed last night that Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson will get a title shot against Lyoto Machida.
White did not state when the fight would take place.
Machida won the UFC light-heavyweight title belt with his victory over Rashad Evans at UFC 98.
White believes this could be the start of the ‘Machida era’.
“The way he beat Rashad Evans tonight was very impressive. He gets better every time he fights. It might be the Machida era right now,” he told Fighters Only Magazine.
“Usually what happens, guys get into the UFC and start to feel comfortable. I knew it was going to be scary once he started feeling comfortable.”
