Jackson's manager Anthony McGann talks to Yahoo! Sports:

"We found out that Matt Hamill
actually requested to fight Rampage. His camp pushed hard for it
turning down other possible opponents. When Quinton found this out, his
opinion rapidly changed on Matt Hamill.. Matt's strategically aiming at
Quinton with the words if he takes out the ex-champ then he's in the mix
for a shot. Those are brave words considering Rampage just beat (Lyoto) Machida. So the fight is set for May 28, Rampage doesn't take lightly to being called out."

"He wants me? Well, he can have me," Jackson told Yahoo! Sports. "I'm gonna knock him into tomorrow."

I'd really like to know how Hamill deserves this fight? I mean did I miss something else other than the ufc making this fight? Page just beat Machida, isn't Hamill way down in the ranks? WTF

Technically Hamill has won 5 straight in the UFC, but we all know he really got worked by Jon Jones. Even so he has beaten Jardine and Tito since then. The Matt Hamill vs Phil Davis fight was a great matchup, sucks now we won't get to see it. But I guess Hamill was the best replacement they could come up with. I'm guessing they didn't want to take a chance on Evans not being healthy and ready to go and they don't want to risk Thiago's test coming back postitive. So they took the safe route it seems.

I don't know I guess I need to stop Hamill hating lol. I'm just really disappointed that we aren't gonna see Page vs Silva.

McGann explained that the Hamill offer caught Team Rampage off guard.

Quote :

"We were given Hamill on the May show and initially Quinton was disappointed. Matt just wasn't one of the guys he has been focusing on. He really wants Rashad again or Stephen Bonnar because both guys are disrespectful to him," McGann said. "He respects Matt as a tough opponent and he believes that Matt is someone who will put on a show which is what he loves to do. He just had never paid him no mind until Joe Silva offered him."

I think Dana called him and told him he'd better stop complaining about the opponent and sell the fight. So Page came out and said he's gonna KO Matt and now he don't like Matt cause he called Page out LOL
