With the loss of UFC 130's original main event in Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard, Spike TV's planned "In the Moment" special for Edgar will no longer be put together, and the network will instead produce one focusing on the event's new headliner Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.
"UFC Presents Rampage Jackson: In the Moment" will air on Spike TV on Wednesday, May 25, at 10PM ET/PT following that night's episode of The Ultimate Fighter 13.
Like the debut episode of the program in March following then UFC Light Heavyweight Title challenger Jon Jones, the half-hour program will follow Jackson in his family and training lives as he prepares for his fight with Matt Hamill in Las Vegas on May 28. Unlike other special programming for the UFC, the "In the Moment" series is told from the fighter's point of view with no narration outside of their own commentary, and this will be just the second iteration of the show.
