    Page will be featured on Bellator's upcoming reality series based on The Ultimate Fighter (the return of 'yo bref stank'?)

    He will also be allowed to have some role in TNA wrestling.

    Good for Page. I hope he finds his fire again.

    Rampage's deal also includes some kind of angle with Paramount Pictures that could allow him to pursue more acting.

    The UFC did Jackson a solid when he got into his vehicular rampage. They stood by him when most companies (like Viacom) probably would've cut ties. They paid him a lot of money and kept him in the spotlight even after it was obvious he didn't want to be there. I'm not sure what more they could've done for him besides giving him a rematch with Forrest right away.

    That being said, the deal he has with Viacom seems like the best one for him. Lots of opportunities for someone like him who has many career paths he wants to follow at once. I'm sure he'll take lukewarm fights with Bellator to wind down his career as he transitions into wrestling and acting. I don't see what the downside might be for someone this late in their MMA career.

    Here's a coincidence... Zuffa uploaded this video to the FuelTV YouTube channel today. How 'bout that?
