Quinton “Rampage” Jackson talks Training for Wanderlei Silva
Above is an interview with former Light-Heavyweight Champion of the UFC Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. In the interview Jackson explains how good he is doing at training with his new team at Wolfslair in the UK.
Hopefully it is all true because I would like to see Rampage beat Silva this time around. It has been just over four years since Rampage last fought Wanderlei Silva in Pride and since then he has improved leaps and bounds.
My money for this fight is all going on “Rampage” Jackson. Yours should too.
Rampage Expected at UFC 91?
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is expected to make his return at UFC 91. After going through some medical problems in recent months and being arrested for hit-and-run Rampage should step back into the ring against long time rival Wanderlei Silva this November, headlining UFC 91.
During the days of PRIDE Rampage and Silva had taken to the ring twice. In both fights the “Axe Murderer” defeated Jackson. In the UFC Wanderlei Silva recently defeated Keith Jardine to put an end to his 3 fight losing streak.
The fight between the two would be a great one for viewers to watch. They have their history and Rampage will be wanting to climb back up the LHW ladder to reclaim his title after recently losing his UFC light-heavyweight championship to The Ultimate Fighter 1 winner Forrest Griffin.
The only thing which could prevent this fight from happening is Rampage’s current court cases. After losing his title reports were flooding the Internet that he had been arrested for hit-and-run. After being bailed from jail by UFC President Dana White Rampage found himself heading to a hospital for observation less than 24 hours later. Jackson is currently awaiting his trial for felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving. Thats not all though one woman has since suffered a miscarriage after her vehicle was hit by Rampage’s.
Jackson has returned to the gym to begin training with a new trainer after he and Juanito Ibarra split. Juanito Ibarra did say before Jackson’s fight with Rampage that he would retire if Rampage lost.

Dana White: “I just wish I had 250 other guys like him”
“You see the passion he has for this sport. He told me once that he’d rather lose a fight and have the fans going crazy instead of winning a fight where the people are booing. That’s the kind of guy I want in my company fighting on my shows…. He just wants to be able to blow your mind every time he fights. That’s how he is. I just wish I had 250 other guys like him. If I did, this sport would be so far in front of everything else, it would never get caught.”
The quote comes from UFC President Dana White earlier today. Dana indicated that he does not have a problem with Wanderlei Silva losing more fights because he always puts on a show. Wanderlei Silva will be fighting at UFC 84 against Keith Jardine at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas
