Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is undeniably an MMA legend who experienced superstardom at his peak. Long before the rise of Conor McGregor and Jon Jones, it was Jackson who kept fans on the edge of their seats with his electrifying performances. Beyond his fighting skills, the veteran has always been a comedic genius, delivering some of the most entertaining moments. 

Before coming to UFC, Jackson was a part of Pride FC where he spent years entertaining the Japanese crowd. During this time he married a Japanese woman named Yuki with whom he has two kids. Recently, the veteran shared pictures of his youngest son with a hilarious caption, which caught the attention of fight fans.

Jackson went 21-5 in PRIDE, showcasing explosive slams and knockout power. His wars with Wanderlei Silva, Ricardo Arona, and Igor Vovchanchyn made him a fan favorite. His aggressive style influenced future MMA fighters, blending wrestling with devastating striking. 

His outspoken personality also shaped MMA’s entertainment and made it more engaging for fans. After that, Jackson signed for UFC and then went on to become a light heavyweight champion. However, it seems like his time in PRIDE was his most cherished one.

However, he had a rocky relationship with Dana White, often clashing over pay, respect, and UFC’s treatment of fighters. Years after his retirement from MMA, the veteran hosts a popular podcast and remains known for his comedic talents. Here are some reactions about his latest post.

As expected, fans unanimously showed their love for Rampage Jackson, and his hilarious personality. One comment that stood out was when a fan compared him to Conor McGregor for his antics and outrageous takes. He was able to achieve these things before other trash talkers like Brock Lesnar, Chael Sonnen, and McGregor came into the UFC.
