Wednesday, 23 September 2009

One of the biggest stars in the UFC has surprisingly announced his retirement from mixed martial arts.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is to pursue a career in Hollywood.

The former light-heavyweight champion will play BA Baracus in the forthcoming A-Team movie.

He had been due to fight later this year, and is currently featured in the ongoing Ultimate Fighter reality TV show.

Columnist Comments

• The Belfast hotel where you check in but never leave

Wars never end. Not if you're fighting in them, even reporting them.

• Don't let sisters stop you looking for love, Cheryl

What's wrong with wanting a man? I ask because lately I've lost count of the miserable, lonely female celebrities being told by other women that they should stay single.

• Seeing is believing when it comes to the justice system

A Bill in the Queen’s Speech will, hopefully, speed up the process of letting some more sunlight into Northern Ireland’s rather musty justice system.

• So that's why their pupils were glazed in Play School

Odd period, the 1970s. I've tended to deride them as grim, which they certainly were, but I appreciate now the music and, er, that's about it. They weren't particularly happy years in Northern Ireland.

• Tragedy is opportunity for conflict resolution envoys

The Good Friday Agreement is a cure for which there is no known illness. Nowhere in its 11,000 words does it identify the problem which it purports to solve.
