    Rampage on Jon Jones: He Has My Belt; Gets Title Shot If Medically Cleared
    Posted on May 29, 2011 by Damon Martin

    Jon ?Bones? Jones has the first contender ready to challenge for his UFC light heavyweight title, if he can get medical clearance.

    Heading into his UFC 130 fight with Matt Hamill, Quinton ?Rampage? Jackson had a fractured hand that happened when he was enjoying the holidays maybe just a little bit too much, but if he can recover in time he will get the next shot at the 205lb title.

    Jackson mentioned the injury in his post fight interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan, and then expanded on how it happened during the press conference after the event.

    ?Honestly, I hurt my hand in Japan back in December/Christmas, drunken around, fighting with my friend in the hallway. I thought it would heal up,? Jackson explained.

    ?I did a crazy jab on one of my sparring partners, and I hurt it.?

    The injury didn?t prevent Jackson from dominating Hamill for three rounds en route to a unanimous decision victory at UFC 130, and according to UFC President Dana White if the hand is healthy he will get the shot at Jones next.

    ?If he?s okay, yeah,? White answered when asked if Rampage would get the title shot versus Jones. ?We?ve got to get him looked at by a doctor, then we?ll figure it out, and we?ll go from there.?

    Rampage seemed confident following the event that he would be able to keep busy and accept the fight with Jones later this year.

    The former UFC champion still regards the light heavyweight title as his, and while he has no personal beef with Jones, he wants the gold currently wrapped around his waist. That?s all the motivation he needs.

    ?I don?t really know Jones, I don?t got nothing against him. He has my belt,? Rampage expressed. ?I still feel like I didn?t lose that belt. It?s not his fault that he got my belt, it?s my fault.?

    Jones is still currently sidelined for at least another 2 weeks with a cast on his hand while he let?s his own injured thumb heal. If Jackson gets clearance as well as Jones, the two light heavyweights could be paired for a fight in late September or early October.

    For now however, both will have to depend on physicians to declare them ready before UFC President Dana White can put them in the Octagon together.
