Now it seems clear as to why Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has yet to accept his main event title shot at UFC 98. Jackson apparently injured his jaw in training, while he was preparing to face Wanderlei Silva back at UFC 92.

The jaw injury was revealed to Dana White when White asked Jackson if he wanted to face Evans at UFC 98 in May. Jackson said that he had "White's back" but that he wanted to take a few days to discuss matters with his manager.

If Jackson is unable to go due to wanting to take a break with the Jaw injury, then Lyoto Machida will be in the main event against Rashad Evans at UFC 98.

Is this true or does Rampage feel he has a better chance against machida then evans?

Rampage talks to Dana about this on the last episode of Dana's Vlog for this PPV.

If you want to hear exactly what Rampage says.

Which one is it on?

[mattman]

Here ya go. It's at the very end when Rampage tells Dana about his jaw. The audio gets a little off about half-way so the mouths don't match the audio but you can still hear him talking about it. They show the whole discussion about Dana telling him the situation with Mir and asking him to fight Rashad at UFC 98.

If the jaw was that bad how come he fought this fight?
