Rampage will not face Evans

Quinton Jackson will not fight light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans at UFC 98, due to injuries.

Jackson is struggling with a hand injury and jaw complaint and has been ruled out of the clash that was scheduled for May 23.

The 30-year-old claimed he was ready to challenge Evans for his belt, after his fight with Keith Jardine at UFC 96.

Rashad Evans v Lyoto Machida (light-heavyweight championship)

Matt Hughes v Matt Serra

Josh Koscheck v Chris Wilson

Yushin Okami v Dan Miller

Sean Sherk v Frankie Edgar

David Kaplan v George Roop

James Irvin v Drew McFedries

Houston Alexander v Andre Gusmao
