The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was at his best last December as he settled the score with Wanderlei Silva via a chilling first round knockout. Jackson will look to move one step closer to regaining his title when he takes on the man who beat both Chuck Liddell and Forrest Griffin, Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine. Will Jackson earn the next shot at new champion Rashad Evans or will Jardine keep “Rampage” from his teammate by sending him crashing to defeat? Where to watch UFC 96 aside from pay-per-view?
