- A New Jersey court ruled against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and sided with Bellator MMA, who filed a preliminary injunction against the fighter. The injunction looks to prevent Jackson from fighting at UFC 186 later this month.

Jackson terminated his own Bellator contract late last year and re-signed with the UFC. Rampage said there were stipulated provisions in his contract that the company didn't meet.

The UFC released an official statement on the matter:

"UFC has been advised of the New Jersey state court's ruling in the matter between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Bellator MMA. The UFC organization was surprised about the ruling because Mr. Jackson represented to UFC on multiple occasions that he was free to negotiate and contract with UFC. The UFC organization is also surprised that Bellator sat on its alleged rights for months before taking action.

UFC understands that Mr. Jackson is considering an emergency appeal, and UFC is also considering action to protect its rights and minimize damages regarding this matter. UFC 186 in Montreal, Canada will proceed as planned and UFC is currently evaluating its fight card options."
