Quinton Jackson fanboys might be in for some luck. “Rampage” will be entering tonight’s UFC 123 contest against Lyoto Machida as a significant underdog.

That typically isn’t the best indicator that a victorious night’s in the making, but Cain Velasquez was a heavy ‘dog against Brock Lesnar in the main event at UFC 121 and managed to pull off the upset.

Nate Marquardt was a 2.5-to-1 favorite to take down Yushin Okami in the featured contest last Saturday at UFC 122. Unfortunately for the Gambling Gods, they were incorrect there as well.

Machida is pegged as a -260 favorite to beat Jackson in tonight’s main attraction.

Can Rampage provide some more long shot lovin’ and complete the upset trifecta?
