There are lots of rumors circulating about a possible November bout between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva (picture). And while most of the MMA world would love to see a third fight between the two (Silva won the first two, one by TKO and the other by KO) it's going to take some work for the fight to occur.From Jackson's side, there's certainly some legal issues that he needs to overcome, and there's uncertainty as to whether he'd be eligible to fight in November. From Silva's side, he has requested to not fight until December which forms another roadblock for the UFC to get over. One could see Silva coming around under the right circumstances but it's hard to determine what exactly is going on with Jackson's situation.
The fight between these two will likely happen but the question of November is a hard one to know. UFC will market these two and the fight should garner good viewership, but with the returning of Noguiera in December, a Georges St. Pierre-BJ Penn fight on the horizon and a Chuck Liddell-Rashad Evans battle upcoming there's no real rush. Suspect the fight to occur, but it will require some luck for the fight to occur in November.
