As you can tell from the headline, I am a huge MMA fan. I have been following it since 2005 when I start fighting myself. One charechter who has been around since then is our dear friend, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. He has been one of my favorite fighters since then but he has always had one problem. He never got to hold the Pride belt and he barely got the UFC belt. Basically, he is unable to compete and maintain his position at the highest levels.
This is because he really loves money. I mean, he REALLY loves money. While people like Brock Lesnar invest 200k into a training camp, rampage will never spend more than 30k on his. He has never been a member of a huge camp (because camps charge money) and because of that his skills have never evolved past boxing and wrestling. Now, he is getting into acting and his skills will further decline into nothingness. At least he will always be entertaining, that is something that will never go away. I am gonna miss you Rampage, at least I got to see you hold the UFC Belt!
Canada finally allowed MMA! Can't want to go to a live event
ReplyDeletewow he looks badass
ReplyDeleteWow. You always think that these sort of athletes have a god complex, this just friggin' proves it.
ReplyDeleteIs this the guy was in A-Team? didnt realize he came from an MMA background.
ReplyDeletesickkk
ReplyDeleteKingofthemelvins: Yeah, they definitely have god complexes, rampage especially!
ReplyDeletekkazzamm: Oh yeah dude, this guy is a living legend of MMA
Omg, YES !! This totally reminds me, tonight there will be new UFC on TV in Holland so I'm totally going to watch that shit !!
ReplyDeleteAlso, tell us more about those training camps next post since I don't know what you mean ?? I thought those guys only made money, how do they have to pay 200k or whatever ??
ReplyDeleteReally new to MMA so don't know much about it...
Whoa, who doesnt love money? ;)
ReplyDeletei liked playing with him on ufc 2010
ReplyDeleteSure thing frank!
ReplyDeleteUPPER PUNCH!ITS A CLINCH!
ReplyDeleteisnt he the bare knuckle fighter?
ReplyDeletethis guy was okish in A-Team, but he is no Mr T
ReplyDeleteI need that chain!
ReplyDeletei like martial arts sports, too.
ReplyDeletefor november, i have tickets for WWE smackdown german tour.
mma is nice as well!
Pudzian ftw !! :D
ReplyDeleteHe can fight not very bright though
ReplyDeletemma is cool, however, pride is where its at!
ReplyDeletebadass :)
ReplyDeleteHah, a money loving fighter? Now here's a guy I can agree with. In a way, it's sad that you need to invest that kind of money into being a good fighter, because this is like the one sport where one should be able to hone your skills on your own.
ReplyDeleteEvery fighter's skills are gonna decline. Sure full time fighters like Lesnar might be competitive for a few more years than Rampage. But when his body wont let him compete; he'll probably wish he had made himself a little more versatile. So good luck to Rampage and I hope I get to see him in more movies soon.
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest underachievers in MMA, u never really know where his head is, ill always remember his fights in pride with wand and that slam of all slams he pulled on arona
ReplyDeletehaha yeah he has had a few too any head injuries now, you can tell when he talks :P
ReplyDeleteHm... does training camps factor in that much?
ReplyDeleteYeah. Kind of sucks when a good athlete you like starts infiltrating other media and forgetting why he was so liked in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI dont keep up with MMA or most other sports much. Some college FB and some NASCAR. :>
