UFC 130's Quinton Jackson on Monday's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson"

Five days before his UFC 130 headliner with Matt Hamill, former champion and budding thespian Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will return to "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson."

Jackson's episode of the CBS' late-night talk show airs late Monday/early Tuesday at 12:35 a.m. ET/PT.

Jackson also appeared on the show prior to his UFC 123 headliner with Lyoto Machida back in November.

UFC 130 takes place May 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The night's main card, including Jackson (31-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC) vs. Hamill (10-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), airs live on pay-per-view.

Jackson, a former UFC and PRIDE champion, looks to build off his close split-decision victory over Machida at UFC 123. Prior to the much-needed win, Jackson returned from an extended layoff (due to his role in the film remake of "The A-Team") and dropped a decision to Rashad Evans in a No. 1 contenders bout. He's now 9-2 since 2005, and his lone losses came to ex-champs (Evans and Forrest Griffin).

"The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" stars Ferguson, a stand-up comic and actor, and follows the "Late Show with David Letterman." The show averages approximately 1.7 million nightly viewers.
