Rashad Evans was very excited for his return to the ring for a boxing match against longtime rival Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, but in the days leading up to the fight, the UFC Hall of Famer realized that the promises made to the fighters weren’t being kept by the promoters.

That led to the eleventh hour decision for Evans and Jackson to drop off the card rather than face a potential fiasco by actually fighting and then watching contractual obligations not get fulfilled afterwards.
