There is just something about this man. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is damn exciting as a fighter. I don't know, it might be his huge chain, or his swagger, or his amazing WWE-like power slams on opponents, or maybe it is the fact that he is the self-proclaimed "werewolf" of mixed martial arts, but something about this man is making him a huge fan favorite in the UFC.
If you look at the top 10 rankings for the Light Heavyweight division in the world, there are 2 names you will see: Chuck " The Iceman" Liddell and Quinton " Rampage" Jackson. Both men deserve to be there, and Chuck has been at the top for a long time. I believe it is time for a change. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson strolls into this fight with tons of confidence, winning his last 2 fights including a fight against top prospect Matt Lindland in the WFA, then a win against Marvin Eastman in his UFC debut. Chuck is a great fighter, no one is taking anything away from him, but it is Rampage's time.
So the question is, with a win over Chuck Liddell already, and a win in his debut in the UFC, is Rampage entering this fight confident or cocky? Well, I believe Rampage has always been a cocky man, there is no doubt about that. He used to be a street brawling kid who came into mixed martial arts with heavy fists and huge slams. With every fight, Rampage is training harder and gaining more experience. He has learned a lot from his 2 title bouts against Brazilian Wanderlei Silva (both hard-fought losses). If nothing else, everyone can expect Rampage to come into the ring and make things exciting. He is without a doubt a fan favorite in the UFC, and happens to be my favorite fighter of all time. Rampage is going to bring the pain, and he is going to melt The Iceman. The Rampage era in the UFC begins May 26th. Don't miss it.
