Will Shogun Rua fight Rampage Jackson or Rashad Evens next?

My heart says Rashad will win but, my brain says Rampage wins via KO. If I had to make a choice right now...I'd have to go with Rashad Evans via UD after 3 rounds.

I think Rashad wrestling will be able to dictate the fight between him and Jackson. Although Quinton is very well versed in wrestling himself, we have not seen him competed since UFC 96 in Columbus, Ohio last year. There, he fought against Rashad's teammate Keith Jardine to a Split Decision win. I was there myself and judging from what I've seen from both athlete's. I got to give my prediction to Rashad Evans.

Now...since these guys will be highly emotional in the days leading up to UFC 115. They'll need to keep those emotions under control. Enter Evans's coach Greg Jackson. The guy is a master game planner and will set up a plan that will lead his Fighter to victory. It will on Evans to complete this task to a T. Jackson has very heavy hands and can knock you out at any given moment.

We have waited over a year for this fight and now it is less than 30 days away. Who do you got???
