MMA: Rampage, Evans to coach in 'The Ultimate Fighter'


Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Former UFC champions Rampage Jackson and Rashad Evans will coach heavyweight fighters in the 10th season of the mixed martial arts league’s popular reality television show.

In a season dubbed “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights,” the show will follow two teams of the UFC’s largest fighters for the first time since the show’s second season. Jackson and Evans also will fight in December after the series concludes.
The show will be filmed this summer, premiering Sept. 16 on Spike TV.
Jackson and Evans both are former light heavyweight champions, with Evans losing the belt to Lyoto Machida last weekend. Jackson has recorded two impressive wins since losing the belt last year. He will be a coach on the show for the second time in four seasons.
