UFC Vs A-Team | Dana White Not Happy

Get in the Octagon for some A-Team/UFC mayhem!

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is scheduled to fight Sugar Rashad Evans in UFC 107 on December 12th, or is he? There has been speculation that Jackson would be unable to compete due to his pursuit of an acting career. The new A-Team movie scheduled to be released in the summer of 2010 has been on the hunt for someone play the role of B.A. Baracus. Rumors were circulating about the possibility of "actors" such as rapper Common and The Game would be in the running for the role.

Thanks to the UK tabloid The Sun MMA fans across the country were stunned to hear the name of their beloved UFC fighter in the mix for contenders for the role. Which really pissed of UFC President Dana White.

‘Guess what Rashad Evans is thinking about right now. He’s thinking about beating your [expletive] ass. He’s not sitting around thinking about how him and his mom used to watch the [expletive] ‘Love Boat’ together and (how) he wants to get the role of Isaac the bartender. Get a [expletive] grip, dude. You’re going to make a lot of money. You ain’t going to make a lot of money playing B.A. Baracus on ‘The A-Team.’ Jesus Christ. This [expletive] drives me [expletive] nuts.’ So yeah, I’m not a big fan of fighters doing movies. When your career is over, if you turn into a movie star, that’s awesome.”

Anyone familiar with the A-Team TV series back in the early 80's will recognize Mr. T as B.A Baracus. As far as looks, attitude and persona are concerned, "Rampage" Jackson seemed like the perfect fit. After all.. the B.A stands for "Bad Attitude".

"I pity the fool who don't respect the Baracus"

So what is it going to be, fact or fiction?
