The trilogy between the former champions might not happen at UFC 91 on November 15 like expected.
A reliable source told Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports the most likely date for the fight is now Jan. 31 on the UFC 93 SuperBowl weekend card. UFC 93 is expected to feature a super-fight between UFC lightweight champion B.J. Penn and UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre.
“Rampage” Jackson, is scheduled for a Nov. 3 court date (two weeks before UFC 91) and would have to leave his camp to attend the hearing at which time he’ll learn whether or not the matter will go to trial. So moving the fight to January makes sense for Rampage.
