Silva gets inside Rampage's head one more time

You're not going to meet a more jovial, good-natured cage fighter than Wanderlei Silva but there's something about Quinton Jackson that simply pisses him off. A melee nearly broke out just after they weighed in for their UFC 92 fight. There's was one problem, apparently Jackson wanted no part of the "Axe Murderer."

Silva and Jackson stood toe-to-toe, staring each other down for eight seconds. As Jackson went to step away, it looked like he said something and then Silva shoved him.

The shove looked a little harder than the one Silva gave Jackson after his Pride 25 victory over Kevin Randleman. Jackson's reaction was the same. He backed away from a confrontation. Jackson did make a throat slit gesture and howled once Silva was escorted off the stage.

Here is the picture of the Silva push here. UFC president Dana White was in the middle of the fracas.
