Quinton Jackson

Known as Rampage Jackson for his style of fighting, Quinton is the number 2 light heavyweight in the world. He rose through the ranks through the now debunked Pride Fighting Championship from Japan. Quinton is known as Rampage because of the way he man-handles some of his opponents. One example is during a fight with Ricardo Arona in Pride Critical Countdown in 2004. Arona had Jackson in a triangle choke hold, but Jackson picked him up and slammed him on the mat for a KO to win the match. His sheer strength and skills is what makes him a solid fighter. Rampage also had an impressive knockout of Wanderlei Silva and a win by decision with Keith Jardine.

At 6' 1", 205 lbs, and 30 years old, Quinton is quite a character outside of the cage. In July 2008, Quinton led police on a chase while driving his lifted Ford F-350 with a painted picture of him on the side of the vehicle. He was driving recklessly on the wrong side of the road. Even with one of his tires blown, he still kept driving on his rims until the police finally stopped him. He was arressted for felony reckless driving and said it was because he was depressed after his loss to Forrest Griffin. That same month, someone in his family flagged down a police officer to talk to Quinton because he was acting unusual. He then was checked into a mental institution for a few days and was said to not sleep for 4 days and only drinking water and energy drinks.

After that short bout with insanity, it looks like Rampage got back on track. He defeated Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine and has shown interest to fight Rashad Evans who is from Jardine's same camp. But since Lyoto Machida won that fight against Rashad Evans, Rampage might fight Machida next. With the experience he brings from Japan's Pride Fighting Championship, Rampage would be a great match for either Rashad Evans or Lyoto Machida for his next fight.
