A fight between former champions Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Lyoto Machida is in the works. The fight is being targeted for a November 20 UFC event. The event is expected to be UFC 122 or UFC 123

Jackson wrote on Twitter last night, “Almost ready to sign the bout agreement! I would tell ya’ll who I’m gonna get down with, but I can’t spell his name. Hahaha.”

Jackson (30-8) earned back-to-back wins over Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine, then appeared as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter 10 opposite rival Rashad Evans, before losing to Rashad Evans after a a 14-month layoff.

Machida (16-1) won the 205-pound title from Rashad Evans last May, but recently lost the title to Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
