What’s in a nickname? Well, if you go by the moniker ‘Rampage’, you’d better not lay and pray, jab and grab, or practice any other less than scintillating technique in search of victory in the mixed martial arts arena. Luckily, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson has only one speed in competition and life, and it’s all out.
“The fans should expect a good show – win, lose or draw,” said Jackson, the outstanding light heavyweight contender who will make his long-awaited UFC debut on February 3rd against Marvin Eastman. “They’re gonna see the best show they’ve ever seen in their life, before I even get to the cage.”
He’s not kidding. From the first interview to the final bell, Jackson has always made it a point to entertain. Whether it’s with his self-effacing and sometimes outrageous humor outside the Octagon or with his trademark slams inside of it, this is a fighter who doesn’t let the fight come to him – he’s going after it. He’s not looking to calmly take you down with technical brilliance, he wants to pick you up and put you through the mat; he’s not looking to jab his way to victory, he wants to punch a hole in you.
That’s entertainment.
