Rampage Jackson Ditches Upcoming Bout to Star in A-Team Movie

I wonder which character he'll play?

Rampage was scheduled to square-off against hated coaching rival Rashad Evans on December 12th in the season finale of The Ultimate Fighter 10, but the UK Sun has reported that he will forgo the fight to tackle the role of B.A. Baracus in the upcoming remake of the beloved 80s action show. The main event slot will apparently be filled with lightweight champ B.J. Penn's title defense against Diego Sanchez.

As for the movie, it has yet to begin filming, so it's a bit too early to tell whether it will be another Starsky & Hutch, or a mere Dukes of Hazzard. The only certainty I can report at the moment is that it will be absolutely unwatchable.
