Former UFC light heavyweight champ Rashad Evans has not been offered a fight with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson at UFC 130 in May, Evans’ manager, Malki Kawa, told MMA Fighting on Wednesday.

After MMA Weekly reported earlier in the day that Jackson’s original opponent for that event, Thiago Silva, had been forced off the card, rumors circulated that Evans could be tapped as a replacement on the May 28 fight card.

Those reports are premature, according to Evans’ management. And yet, as of Wednesday afternoon there are still questions surrounding Silva’s ability to participate in the bout.

Thiago Silva Denies Rumors He’s Off UFC 130 Card

As rumors surface that Thiago Silva may have tested positive in his UFC drug test, we can’t help but notice he chose to wear a t-shirt as he posed for pictures during the UFC 125 weigh-ins. Could it be, he figured drug tests would come back positive and didn’t want us to scrutinize his weigh-in pics for bacne as we did with Chael Sonnen’s weigh-in pictures below when he tested positive after his UFC 117 bout against Anderson Silva?

Hmmm…seems fishy…and yet the plot thickens, as Thiago Silva spoke with Tatame and denies he’s been contacted and/or cut from his UFC 130 fight against Rampage Jackson. Silva says: “Nobody called us about anything, the fight is on.”

Could Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson settle their continuing feud with a formal rematch when Sugar’s knee is healthy again? Is Thiago Silva about to get busted for steroids? There’s a ton of conflicting information surrounding these related stories, so we’ll just pass along what we’ve heard…

MMAWeekly was the first to report that UFC light-heavyweight contender Thiago Silva has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled match against Quinton Jackson at UFC 130 (May 28, Las Vegas). "Sources close to the bout" confirmed that Rashad Evans will be stepping in for the Pitbull — meaning that Evans’s first opponent since outpointing Quinton Jackson last May will be…Quinton Jackson, once again.

– However, Thiago Silva himself denied the report to Tatame, saying "I’m very healthy and looking forward to fight Rampage…Nobody called us about anything, the fight is on.” Quinton Jackson’s camp was also surprised by the report, and according to Rashad Evans’s manager, Evans hasn’t been offered the fight either.

Rampage Jackson Pities the Fool Who Takes a Title Fight on Six Weeks Notice

In all the excitement over Jon “Bones” Jones getting the title-shot since his fellow Jackson’s Submission Fighting teammate, Rashad Evans has pulled out of UFC 128 due to a blown knee, we didn’t think that maybe someone else turned the offer down. Well, Light Heavyweight Champion, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua says Quinton “Rampage” Jackson did […]

In all the excitement over Jon “Bones” Jones getting the title-shot since his fellow Jackson’s Submission Fighting teammate, Rashad Evans has pulled out of UFC 128 due to a blown knee, we didn’t think that maybe someone else turned the offer down. Well, Light Heavyweight Champion, Mauricio “Shogun” Rua says Quinton “Rampage” Jackson did just that. Rua told Tatame:

“The UFC thought in other alternatives, but it didn’t worked out. For some reason [Quinton Jackson] didn’t accept [a fight with me], I’ll have to change my training because (Jones is) a lot different from Rashad, much taller, and it’ll be a great challenge. He’s been surprising everybody in the UFC, defeated everybody with easy, and it’ll be a tough fight for me.”

Jon Jones was very confident with taking the fight on six weeks notice at the UFC 126 Post Fight Press Conference. He foremost thanked God for the opportunity and said:

“I usually spend my camp getting in shape, but I’m already in shape, [Greg Jackson] wants me to calm down. He said he can’t have me peak for six more weeks. But I’m not taking time off. Maybe physically I’ll take some time off, but I have a lot of studying to do. Six weeks is more than enough time, especially since I already have a six pack.”

Meanwhile Rampage Jackson, who defeated Lyoto Machida via Split Decision last November plans to return to the cage at UFC 130 against Thiago Silva at the end of May.
