Interview with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

by Penny Buffinton

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson can be seen on Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter 7. He is a coach opposite Forrest Griffin. At the end of the shows season the UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton will put his title on the line to fight Forrest Griffin who has a pro mma record of 15 wins and 4 loses. The fight will air live Saturday, July 5, on Pay-Per-View from Las Vegas, NV.

I spoke with Quinton on Tues, May 30th direly after he finished a 2 hour work-out with his coach and manager Juanito Ibarra. Rampage doesn't prefer to surround himself with a lot of people because "It's hard to trust people." When I asked him about his experience on the The Ultimate Fighter 7 he said, "I didn't expect for it to be so much work. I'm not a coach and I don't really want to enjoy doing it again."

I asked Quinton who else he would like to fight in the future, Quinton replied, "I want to fight any of the ones that have beaten me in the past." His record is 26 wins and 6 loses. Rampage lost to Mauricio Rua back in April of 2005 while fighting for Pride. Other loses include, Wanderlei Silva, whom he lost to twice, once in 2003 and again in 2004. To come up with another loss we would have to go all the way back to 2001.

Quinton Jackson is a proud family man living with his four children, three boys and one girl. If you would like to check out his MySpace page go to: http://www.myspace.com/rampagejackson. You can also visit his webpage to see many of his videos www.allrampage.com.

The UFC is the most popular of all mma organizations. Quinton told me that "the UFC really cares about their fighters where Pride was all about themselves." Sounds like Quinton has found his place to shine. He asked to "thank my supporters." Wow that is a lot of thank-yous! He would also like to thank the companies that support him.
