According to MMAJunkie:
If Evans can defeat Brazilian slugger Thiago Silva, the UFC president said he'll book the highly anticipated grudge match between "Rampage" and "Suga."
"I want to make that fight happen," White said.
Of course Jackson and Evans were supposed to be squaring off this weekend at UFC 107, but Jackson got a high profile role in a remake of the old "A-Team" movie. Jackson will be playing the role of one of his idols in "Mr. T". I know that Evans probably benefited from his time as a coach on TUF 10. It allowed the fighter to be seen in a different light than most were accustomed to, even though he still has a lot of detractors. However, I can't help but think that there will be a lot of fans rooting for Rashad Evans at UFC 108 when he takes on Thiago Silva. Simply because the fight between Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson is a fight that HAS to happen. Just for your viewing pleasure, the smack talk that happened between the two at UFC 96 can be found after the jump!

lol…I actually agree with this….we saw what happened in the ‘If Chuck beats Jardine he fights Wanderlei’ fiasco…I think Thiago has a good chance of beating Rashad actually, so I’d save this fight so that both men’s hype is still in tact

I agree too
I give Thiago a good chance against Rashaad… matter of fact I hope he does whoop him – even though I still want to see Rampage show Rashaad some of his “slammin’ capabilities”. lol
I wish they would as well
I pray that Rashad doesn’t lose!…he won’t….speed and Silva’s chin will get the win for him.

why should Evans win to get a shot at Jackson? Win or lose Dana will match them up

The fight will happen
However, it won’t be as attractive if Silva runs through him at UFC 108…with a big win at 108…and then the hype of Rampage coming back to the sport…that fight would be a monster.

Rampage will have no one to blame but himself for this layoff if he loses to Evans (like he did when Forrest took it to him and got the belt from him)
