My two younger kids, they're very Japanese. My kids are half Japanese, yeah, they're very Japanese. And when I lost, my son, my youngest son, he's so intelligent, so smart. He sat me down and was like, 'Why did you lose?' I was like, 'Uh…' They're very competitive, and so he was like, 'Why did you lose?' The way he said it, his energy, was like, 'You dishonored me.' You know, because my kids are very Japanese because of their mom......They have Japanese; they read and write, talk, you know, that culture. Yeah, so it was like, it was like, basically like, 'You dishonored, you dishonored us by losing.'

Jackson is a divorcee, and his ex-wife Yuki is Japanese. Due to the divorce, his ex-wife has custody of the children, with Jackson having weekend visitation rights. Therefore, his children were more accustomed to the Japanese culture.

In the UFC, Jackson has fought the likes of Jon Jones, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture, to name a few. Chandler Jones, the younger brother of Jon Jones, revealed recently that the Jones brothers admired Jackson. Jackson’s popularity was due to his effective use of slams in MMA.

UFC legend Quinton Jackson recently announced his fight against Shannon Briggs in boxing. Even before that, Jackson flirted with the idea of returning to combat sports. Recently, Jackson appeared on the 36th episode of the HJR Experiment podcast along with Henry Cejudo and Frank Mir. Jackson revealed on the podcast how much it would take him to compete in bare-knuckle boxing.

Jackson is a fan of the brutal sport but remains hesitant to compete in it. However, he revealed on the podcast that he would do it for $6 million. On the other hand, Cejudo stated that he would do the same for $3 million. Jackson also revealed that Mike Perry makes $1.1 million per fight at BKFC, which Frank Mir felt Perry earned.

Mike Perry is the face of BKFC. The former UFC fighter made a huge splash at BKFC, where he defeated the likes of Michael Venom Page, Luke Rockhold, and Eddie Alvarez. Perry currently holds the symbolic ‘King of Violence’ title at BKFC.
