🔥 United Natives x Signature Punch Promotions Present: Rampage Jackson vs. Rashad Evans – The Rematch of the Decade! 🔥
Get ready for the ultimate fight night as United Natives partners with Signature Punch Promotions to bring you the most electrifying boxing sports event of the year! Fifteen years after their legendary UFC 114 showdown, combat sports icons Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Rashad Evans are stepping back into the ring—this time in a high-stakes boxing match that reignites one of MMA’s most intense rivalries.
Their first bout in 2010 was a PPV blockbuster, drawing over 1.05 million buys and selling out the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Now, these two warriors are rewriting history, trading in the octagon for the boxing ring in a battle that promises explosive power, redemption, and unfinished business.
This isn’t just a fight—it’s a moment in sports history that merges MMA legends with the rising world of crossover combat. United Natives’ mission to uplift Indigenous communities through sports, health, and inclusion is taking center stage, proving once again that we’re here to change the game.
