Quinton “Rampage” Jackson Quinton Jackson ’s negotiations with the UFC came after a failed attempt to renegotiate his deal with Bellator. Bellator President Scott Coker claims Jackson’s relationship with the Viacom-owned promotion soured after the two couldn’t come to an agreement on a new contract, according to a statement Coker provided as part of the promotion’s lawsuit against the fighter . The statement, obtained today by MMAjunkie, provides key background on the Bellator’s legal showdown with Jackson. The promotion has filed an injunction against the fighter , asking a judge to prevent him from returning to the UFC to fight Fabio Maldonado next month at UFC 186. Jackson (35-11 MMA, 7-5 UFC) claims Bellator breached its contract with him when it failed to provide him a report of pay-per-view figures for Bellator 120, the promotion’s lone foray into pay-per-view, and then failed to resolve the dispute within 45 days
