http://mmajunkie.com/news/30586/quinton-rampage-jackson-hurt-forced-out-of-ufc-153-co-main-event-vs-glover-teixeira.mma
After all the controversy over Quinton "Rampage" Jackson wanting out of his contract, it turns out he won't fight at UFC 153 after all.

Jackson (32-10 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is injured and out of his co-main event fight against Glover Teixeira (18-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) next month in Brazil. UFC President Dana White on Tuesday tweeted the news. The nature of his injury was not announced.

It is not yet known if a replacement for Jackson will be sought to step in on just under five weeks' notice, or if Teixeira will be pulled from the card.

UFC 153 takes place Oct. 13 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro. The pay-per-view features a main event featherweight title fight between Brazilian champion Jose Aldo and former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar.

Jackson is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Ryan Bader at UFC 144 in February. Before that, he lost a title fight against Jon Jones at UFC 135 by fourth-round decision. Teixeira made his highly anticipated UFC debut in May, making quick work of Kyle Kingsbury at UFC 146.

Jackson made waves in March when he openly called out the UFC and said he was looking forward to leaving the promotion after his next fight, the last on his deal.

UFC 144, Jackson failed to make weight for his fight in Japan against Bader, saying a knee injury before the fight hampered his weight cut, forcing him to come in heavy. He forfeited 20 percent of his purse to Bader.

After the loss, Jackson admitted to having doctor-prescribed testosterone replacement therapy to help his knee heal, but also railed on the UFC for the matchups he had been given, as well as the amount of money he's making.

"The UFC talks about being in a billion homes," Jackson told "Inside MMA" in March. "They're making all this money. Yet I'm making less money than I used to make with the UFC. The UFC is getting bigger, which means I'm getting bigger, but I'm making less money. Why? So I just don't want to be with them no more. I think the flavor is done. … I don't want to have to fight for somebody no more if they're not really appreciating me."

White said Jackson wanted to leave the promotion before his deal was up, but White stepped in to ask him to finish his deal.

"Me and Rampage had this conversation and he said, 'Cut me from my contract right now,'" White said after UFC 149 in Calgary. "And I said, 'Dude, we've had your back every step of the way, we've honored every contract that we've ever had with you – honor yours.' He said, 'That's true. You're right. I will honor my contract.'"

One other light heavyweight fight already is on the UFC 153 show. Phil Davis rematches Wagner Prado on the main card. But those two have unfinished business stemming from an accidental eye poke that Davis hit Prado with at UFC on FOX 4 this past month that resulted in a no contest. The nature of their rematch would appear to make one of them moving up to fight Teixeira unlikely.

Damn that sucks. Ruins a great fight and keeps an unhappy Rampage with Zuffa for that much longer. Shitty.

I wonder if Jimmo could be available to fight? Battle of the prospects that took too long to get in the UFC.

He's facing Forrest again at 155.

I vote for this man
Rampage hurt, out of Tex fight.  Stephan-bonnar
