According to both Jackson and UFC president Dana White, the organization offered "Rampage" an opportunity to be a coach opposite Chael Sonnen on TUF 17 before asking Jon Jones. Interestingly enough though, Jackson turned down the opportunity.
"Forget TUF," Jackson told MMAFighting.com on Thursday. "I'm not interested in that."
"I don't want to fight Chael. He's the kind of fighter that I don't want to fight. He's a boring fighter that just wants to hump people."
White confirmed that Sonnen was very interested in coaching against Jackson and eventually fighting him, as well.

I wonder if Dana remembers last time Rampage was on TUF? It was clear to me he didn't give a **** about being there or helping any members of his team. He's all about the money and that's it. At least he doesn't try to hide that fact though.
As far as Rampage *****ing about Chael's style I will say someone should remind him that it's mma not boxing. Same thing for any fan that only cares about flash ko's and heavy handed punchers. They could find any 2 idiots to stand toe to toe and punch each other until one got KO'd but it takes actual skill and dedication to be a mixed martial artist. Something I think Rampage once had but not so much anymore.
