Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
What do you mean? When does it come out?
Interviewer 1
Like after. After they sing Happy Birthday to you?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, no, no. My family never really do birthday. I had one birthday party as a kid.
Interviewer 2
Wait, real quick. What were you sipping on at 9?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I was sipping on ENJ. What's that we called? IRK and Jerk Whiskey? Yeah. NJ and Coke. Okay. Y' all know about ENJ?
Interviewer 2
No. Is that a Memphis thing?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't know what's. Enjoy. It's cognac.
Interviewer 2
Oh, okay.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. I never heard of it.
Interviewer 1
We gotta try something, though.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, with Coca Cola.
Interviewer 2
Whose birthday did you collab with? If you're nine and they're partying like that named J.C. how old is Jesse turning?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He. He. J.C. he was my sister's day, so he was like a little bit older than me. He was drinking, too. He's like two or three years older than me.
Interviewer 2
What a crazy.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, we were drinking. We were drinking and smoking weed.
Interviewer 2
So is that what Memphis is like?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Well, on my neighborhood, it just so happened. It just so happened that. See, this is the thing. Do you guys know what a candy lady is?
Interviewer 1
Candy lady?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. I'm from the South. Okay, okay. And almost in the south, almost every neighborhood. Back when I was a kid, like I'm 47 years old now, so it's different time. Every neighborhood had a candy lady. And. And the candy lady is like a house, but it's a store. So people in that neighborhood can go to this. This old lady's house and buy some candy. Maybe you could buy the freezer pops. All different type of candy bars, hamburgers. She does that. It's like a store in the neighborhood. And so my grandmother was the candy lady. And right across the street from my grandmother's house was these, these, this family. And this latest nice lady, she had a bunch of kids. And most of them was boys. And they were some badass boys. And they grew up to be drug dealers and want to be pimps. And they was like a lot older than me. And my oldest brother is like 6 years old to me. But these guys. So most of these guys older than him. One of the guys was so old, he used to ride motorcycles with my dad. But they liked me because, you know, I knew how to fight. I was tough. I want no punk ass kid. I used to play football with them and everything. And then by the time I was eight, them taught me how to sell drugs. I smoke weed with them. And they got me drunk on my ninth birthday. And I got up on my ninth birthday. Then after that, I never had a hangover. I had a really bad hangover that time. After that, I never had a hangover. I mean, like, I wake up drunk if I drank too much. I wake up when I'm still drunk.
Interviewer 1
But I don't think that's better than waking up hungover.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
When you wake up and you're still a little drunk.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
Then the drunkness wears off and then you get hung.
Interviewer 2
It hits you later.
Interviewer 1
That's all.
Interviewer 2
It just delays the hangover unless you keep going.
Interviewer 1
Like you said you got drunk on stream last night. How many do you think you had?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't know. I don't know how. It was a mistake. Every time I get drunk, it's a mistake. I hate getting drunk. I like to get buzzed. But then I'm having become a social drinker. And my problem is I'm very social. I'm very social.
Interviewer 2
Was last night that you were talking to the Asian girl? I saw a clip today of you talking.
Interviewer 1
Especially with the chicks, right when they're trying to off because they're offering you shots, I guess, or what?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I hate that. Some. No. So, yeah, I was. I was. I was with my ex girlfriend. I haven't seen her in a while. And we was drinking and then I. I know when I. When I got up, we was at Javier's. We had a meeting. That's when I started my stream. Soon the mean end. And then if the waiter come over like, oh, those guys brought you sh. I said, no, I don't take shots because I don't like shots because I can't control.
Interviewer 3
That's when it goes south.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That's when it goes south. I had. I had already had like at least five, six drinks then because I had. I had two drinks on the way there in my. In my van.
Interviewer 2
So were you drinking because you were nervous for the stream or nervous to meet up with your ex girlfriend or what was the deal?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I'm social, okay. I was socializing. Yeah. So I was just having like a few drinks.
Interviewer 2
What made you link up with your ex girl? For the content?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, she. She. She cool. She like been on stream too.
Interviewer 2
Okay.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
She's. She's very attractive. So I was like, I'm like, I need to get her ass back on my stream.
Interviewer 2
I was gonna say when I see your clips, it's always you talking, flirting with girls, always at the bar. You're very active. Like you said you're a social drinker, but you're very active.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I'm sexually active.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, that I assumed.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I'm very sexually active.
Interviewer 1
What's your type?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Women?
Interviewer 1
You don't have like a specific flavor?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No.
Interviewer 3
Which one do you gravitate most to? Like ethnicity?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Asian.
Interviewer 1
We just went to Asia for three Weeks where we went to Japan and China.
Interviewer 2
I had my first Asian last week. I'm not even kidding you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, which one was Vietnamese? Once you go Asian, you don't go back Caucasian.
Interviewer 2
What do you think it is?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Honestly, you know that's not true because I went back Caucasian a few times. But I think it's the way they treat, treat their men. That's what, that's what did it for me. I used to fight in Japan, right. And then once I got my little taste of those.
Interviewer 1
Oh, in the pride days.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
What was it like with the yellow fever back then?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
They must have been, I don't have yellow, I don't have yellow fever.
Interviewer 3
He was going stup.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't have yellow fever. I don't have, I don't have yellow fever. But I do smash a lot of Asians, but I don't have yellow fever. I don't.
Interviewer 2
But what's up with all the. We went to Thailand a couple years ago and then everyone's saying, yo, that's a lady boy. Like it's crazy how besides obvious reasons, how do you tell right away, man? In Thailand you probably had to figure out a method.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I don't, I don't like Thailand because of that. I went to Thailand three times, two times to do a movie and one time train with Bob SAP. Big ass. Y' all know Bob SAP? I don't, no. Yeah, y' all haven't been watching fighting them that long, huh?
Interviewer 1
What era is he from?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He's from Pride. K1.
Interviewer 1
Okay.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Anyway, he's with a good friend. He's like 350 pounds, like 7 body fat right now. 6, 5, 6, 6. Like a big giant, all ripped specimen. Yeah, I went to go train with him. So I've been there three times and he, and he was telling me about the ladyboy culture there. Honestly, I thought that they was tricking people, right? It's not true. A lot of guys, a lot of guys go there just for that. So, so they, so what? This is what he was telling me. You can't, they can't trick you in a, in like those.
Interviewer 1
It's illegal.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, it's illegal, cuz you ruin that business. So if you see people with LA boy and they say they been tricked, they most like they lying. But if you go to the nightclub and stuff though, it's fair game there. It's fair game because it's a nightclub. Like they let anybody. And they, they like they was like the first people like socially accept like the lady boy, you know, they they, they consider them ladies. And so you can't talk and say, man, what. The lady was like, oh, no, no, that's a lady. That's a lady, boy. And they like, they. So they socially accepted that there. So I was talking, asking for the id, but me, my, my thing is if. If something don't look right, like it's just like it ain't working. Like, I look at the feed and everything, but in Thailand, I got in trouble for saying this last time.
Interviewer 3
Look at the knees too.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I said this last time. I said some. So people clipped it and I got in trouble. I got a lot of Thai girls in my damn mad at me. But, you know, I like to keep it 100 the prettiest. Like with they super pretty and stuff over there. I'm like, oh, that's probably label.
Interviewer 1
What have you learned about like the clipping era and stuff since you've gotten into streaming with, like, stuff you can say and what you can't say.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't give a. I say whatever the I want to say. But what I've learned is there, there's good clippers and they're evil clippers. Right now they got some. There's an evil clipper out there, got me look like I'm racist because, you know, I was in Memphis for Thanksgiving and somebody in my TTS said, asked me a question and talking about how violent black people are and you know what I'm saying, I was like talking about slavery and all that that happened. And, and then I said evil white people are the most, you know, saying like evil, like evil racist people out of evil. Well, racist. White people are the most evil on the planet. And then they cut. They edit out the word racist. So it made me sound like white people are the most evil.
Interviewer 2
So they got me and they probably caption.
Nelk Boys Host
And they'll just put, they'll put any.
Interviewer 1
Caption, even if it's not even what it's about.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh yeah. And then I was talking, I was talking to my, my boxing coach in, in the uk. He was like, just sue him, mate. Just sue him. You can sue anybody. Donald Trump suing BBC for 10 billion. I'm like, maybe that because. Because if, if you really think about it, like, people believe clickbait. A lot of people believe it. So my thing is I want to grow my audience as much as possible. And you know, most of my fans are white. MMA fans, right? Most MMA fans are white. Why do I want my fans to believe that I'm racist? And I think that's the Dumbest thing. That would be the dumbest thing for me to fucking say that white people are the most evil people on the planet. Whether I thought it was true or not, it would be the dumbest thing for me to say because I do a lot of business with white people. And you know what I'm saying, a lot of my friends, a lot of fighters I train with and stuff like that. Because, you know, to be honest, like, when I started mma, it was predominantly white sport. So that's. So that's just stupid. Like the clip. That's what I learned about the clips. Like, you got the good. And it's other clickbait out there. They did that to my son. When my son got in that trouble, they click baited, like he snuck into a pro wrestling ring when they wrote him into a pro wrestling match. It's just a lot of that I've learned. Like, there's good clippers, then they're bad.
Interviewer 1
Clippers because they get paid just based on views.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, they get paid based on views.
Interviewer 1
So it's. It's a crazy world, right?
Interviewer 3
How would you compare the money from UFC and fighting and streaming?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I. If I'm Keep. Keep honest. Kick don't pay. Really. To be honest, Kick don't pay a goddamn thing.
Interviewer 1
But no KCIP at all.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah, but it's. To me, it's pennants. Right, Right. But sponsors. Nah, sponsors is something different. I get like, what I was saying, like, they got taken out of text. I get. I. I've made more money from sponsors in eight months than all the sponsors I made from my fighting in like 20, 25 years. The sponsors are killing it. But somebody, you know, clickbait and edit me and clip it made and took me on text sound. Like, I said, I made more money streaming the eight months that I made in 25 years fighting. That's. That's impossible. I made millions. That's impossible. But from sponsors, I never. I never did that well in sponsors, in mma. I don't know why. Probably because I had a potty mouth. But in streaming, they don't give a. Yeah, I can say what the I want. I could be myself and, and like, I'm. I'm sponsored by Kirgo. They don't give a. I talked to Kick. I said, hey, when I first sound, hey, you guys know that, you know saying I get lit with my. With my mouth. No Diddy. You know what I'm saying? I'd be saying whatever the I want to say. They're like, oh, we don't give A.
Interviewer 2
Like, that's interesting you actually say that. Because that's what I've learned too, is now you. You used to have to try and be so brand friendly, but it's actually the brands that don't give a what you say that'll pay you way more.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah.
Interviewer 2
So that's like the new culture. You can get away with ever you want, still make money. I think there's positives and negatives to it. Yeah, you're learning too.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah. I think those are brands that I really want to work with, the brands that don't give a fog. But, you know, I'm not going to. I'm not going to go too far. I don't think, you know, I haven't. I haven't so far.
Interviewer 2
Have you been close to losing your temper on stream where it could have been bad?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Not, not losing my temper, but what I will do, I will cut some off.
Interviewer 1
But you've always been like that too. Like, I remember watching you and Rashad on Ultimate Fighter, and that was like, that's kind of when I started watching ufc, which I. By the way, I think that's got to be the most legendary era I think of the UFC is that light hate, light heavyweight division.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
I don't know when that was, like 2008, 2007. It was like, you, Rashad, Shogun, Loda Machida, Chuck Liddell.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
Would you say that's the most.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah.
Interviewer 1
Legendary era.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Fuck yeah. Well, me and. Me and Chuck Liddell, we. The one who kicked it off. We. I think our fight was the first one on ESPN when espn. First time with the ufc. But don't quote me on that. But yeah.
Interviewer 2
Are you still like a big fan? I feel like I don't see you going back to the fights much.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't like to. I don't like to go to the fights that much because the ufc, they really don't protect. They really don't protect you. So it's like, if I go to the fights, I want to be a fan and watch the fights. Right. I don't want to. You know, I don't them.
Interviewer 1
You get mobbed.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. And it's just not.
Interviewer 1
You guys are all in the fighter section, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, it's not fun. It's just not fun getting. Getting my, like, look, I love the MMA fans, but I. I've learned the hard way that all MMA fans are not rampage fans. They just see me and it's. It's a social media world, so just want to post a picture. They can hate my guts, but they ask me for a picture and I'm stuck there. I don't want to tell them no. If somebody ask me nice, go to the fights, if you give one person a picture, then you tell the other person no, then the other person gonna hate you for the rest of your life. Like, why you. Why you give him a picture, but you tell me no. You know what I'm saying?
Interviewer 1
Yeah. You'd be taking photos all fights because you're one of the most iconic fighters in UFC history, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. So it's. So it's not fun. I rather watch it on tv.
Interviewer 2
I saw a clip of you, I think someone like, brushed your cameraman.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. I cussed the out that little kid.
Interviewer 2
Well, these guys got to be terrified or like super apologetic, right when that happens, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, he wasn't. He was full of. Okay, so evidently my cameraman is really good looking and girls hit on him all the goddamn time.
Interviewer 2
He's obviously not here, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, no, he's not here. I kept the up. He's a prima donna. I kept that up late last night so he couldn't wake up.
Interviewer 1
Does he drink too?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, you don't? Not. Not why he's working.
Interviewer 1
Does that.
Interviewer 2
Does him being a good looking cameraman intervene with your chances of having with these women?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, they go after him. No, I'm not a hater, but he got a girlfriend and he's like, I think she watches the stream. Because he's like, go crazy.
Interviewer 1
Yeah, she watching.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, for sure. And so that, that night, two girls I saw, because I peep everything. One thing about me, I'm from the streets. I just, I don't say much, but I noticed a lot of stuff. So I was streaming and I peeped two girls kept one of them. I'm like, oh, these two girls like them, man. I saw him like, no, because he don't like talking. Very professional. He kept doing it. He kept pushing him away, like. And then I saw it. I saw the dude that was hanging out with those girls or something. I don't know if he. He was like trying to save those girls. I don't know what it was. I don't know why he even got mad at the dude, like, shooting them down. I don't understand it. And he walked past my cameraman and shoulder, you know, tackled him like, big, big time. And I don't like bully ass. I don't like that. So that's why I caught it and I. And I went off on him. I don't like, like that. And he was with those girls.
Interviewer 2
What do you. Was that a bar in California?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That was a bar in Orange county, yeah.
Interviewer 2
Do you ask, like, do they just let you stream in there or.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, man, Orange County, Orange county is cool like LA is. I know it's hard to stream because a lot of celebrities up here. Ain't no celebrities in Orange county like that. Like, we, we barely get turned away. We got turned away at the mall recently. Some power tripping ass security was tripping. But other than that, man, nobody say to us, that's good. Yeah, a lot of people can stream. A lot of places stream in Orange.
Interviewer 2
County because now there's all these stream snipers too.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh yeah, yeah.
Interviewer 2
Have you dealt with that?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah, yeah. A few times.
Interviewer 2
They're probably fans when they pull up on.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah. Everybody, everybody been cool.
Interviewer 2
Did you ever think about going to Dagestan for two or three years or.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, I want to go dagger, stand for it. I ain't trying to go out. I ain't trying to become no wrestler.
Interviewer 2
You think it would have made you a better fighter?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Fuck yeah, probably. My wrestling was a little better. You're probably right. But I don't like fighting that style. I'm a wrestler. You know that. Yeah, but I don't like fighting this. I like knocking.
Interviewer 2
I just think if you're in that scenario where there's no distractions, so I.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Couldn'T live my life like that. When I trained before a fight, yeah, I, I'm disciplined, but as soon as training camp's over, I gotta go and live my life, bro.
Interviewer 1
Is that what was your regiment like back in the day when you were like fighting actively?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
What do you mean?
Interviewer 1
Like when you're in camp, was it 100 focused?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Like, yeah, the only, the worst thing I did was like, I would like cheat on my diet a little bit. But other than that, I was focused. I would train hard.

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Everything but the, but the problem, but the problem was like, outside of training camp, like as, as, as I got older or more famous, it would be less time in the Gym. That's with any, like, with any fighter. And like a lot of fighters do that. And I'll be disciplined outside. I wouldn't be dis outside of the training camp. And you gain more weight and then your fight count in the beginning of it becomes more losing weight than training for your fighting. That's, that's a downhill slope. So that's, that's was my story. But I, I couldn't go to Dagestan and just train all goddamn time. I couldn't, I wouldn't enjoy, I wouldn't enjoy life. I wouldn't want to. I, I, if something be annoying to me, I just stop like soon as streaming becomes annoying. I stopped. I used to stream years ago on Twitch.
Interviewer 2
Really?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I was gaming, I was streaming on Twitch years ago. Or you gaming, you know, like H1Z1.
Interviewer 2
You'd be funny to watch like playing GTA.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, that'd be hilarious. I love DTA. I'm a billionaire on there.
Interviewer 3
Who would you say hit you the hardest in your career?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Your mama? Why you asking me that? I'm just asking why you care who hit me the hardest?
Interviewer 3
I'm just curious. I mean like, has there been a fight?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Who hit you the hardest?
Interviewer 3
I've never been hit in the face.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That's probably why you asking that motherfucking question. I don't want to relive. Who hit me the fucking hardest?
Interviewer 2
We not asking that.
Interviewer 3
I'm sorry, I'm just.
Interviewer 1
Who'd you rock the hardest Rampage, Would.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You rock the hardest? Oh, damn. That's a good question. Nobody never asked me that. People ask me who hit me the hardest.
Interviewer 2
Respect. I'm just curious.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I know there's no disrespect, but who would I rock the hardest with my fist that punched that knocked out Chocolate there. I didn't think it was that hard. Honestly, I didn't think that. I didn't think I hit him that hard. It just hit him right on the chin. So you know what? It probably was Vanilla Silver in the ufc because I had a lot of pent up anger fighting him because he had kicked the out of me twice before that. Yeah. And answered your question. Proud Fedor.
Interviewer 1
Oh yeah. You fought Fedor too, after, Right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
It was Kevin running until I fought fatal. Randomly hit me pretty hard too. But he didn't finish. He didn't finish up. He, he let me recover. I don't know why he did that. He could have, he could have knocked me out if he would have jumped on me.
Interviewer 2
Have you ever considered doing like one of These exhibitions now that you have like a such a huge. Right now, you have such a big audience watching, you probably make a lot of money.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You think so?
Interviewer 2
Yeah, I think so.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I would like to do at least one boxing match before I get too old, man. Rashad Evans and me and Shannon Briggs was talking about it and Aiden Ross wanted me to fight this one racist dude, but I'm like, well, you'd have.
Interviewer 2
To be in there with a real fighter.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
But he said that the racist dude, I forgot his name, whatever the name is, but he, he does, he's done kickboxing fights or some shit.

Interviewer 1
Let's get back into the pod. What do you think's the biggest difference between like that 2000, 2007, 2009 era to like the UFC now?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
There's a lot of things. The fighters and stuff you guys are watching now, they're fans. You're watching. You're watching fans that want to be fighters. Like 2007 era, all of us, we was, we was more, we was more fighters.
Interviewer 1
What do you mean by that? Because like, they grew up watching you guys.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
They grew up watching them fights with you guys.
Interviewer 1
There was nothing to grow up really watching. You guys invented it, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
It was other stuff. Like it was other martial arts, so it was boxing.
Interviewer 2
And back then too, their Persona Wasn't as big.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 2
Now you got to have this huge character.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah. So the guys. You. The guys that you guys are watching now, they're. They're MMA fans and they. And so a lot of times they translate over to them not. Not having, like the fighter spirit, but they are great athletes and they fight not to lose. You know, they. They like famous. They're. They're more famous than we were because of social media. And so they. They have like this online Persona. And the worst thing about a fight is when. When you have social media, you lose your. The fans go. They come right to you and talk shit.
Interviewer 3
Is there any fighters you like now watching in this era?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like Alex Pereira. I like to poor. I like them Dagestan, but, you know, I wish they learned how to finish my more, but. Yeah.
Interviewer 3
What do you think about Arma. Oh, my bad. Sorry about. Sorry I cut you off.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, you cut me off, nigga, you're.
Interviewer 2
Being a little disrespectful.
Interviewer 3
Like, sorry, sorry.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
We got you outside after this.
Interviewer 3
I'll go ahead. My bad. Cut you off.
Interviewer 2
I think you should have to ask you for permission to ask a question.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That's right. You got to ask me for permission.
Interviewer 3
Praise Brian.
Nelk Boys Host
That's just.
Interviewer 1
That's what sleep usually does.
Interviewer 3
What do you think about Armand's situation right now? It doesn't seem like he's going to get the next title shot.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
So Suruki.
Interviewer 3
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
For real? They fucking with him still?
Interviewer 3
Yeah. It seems like Dana's not, you know, going to give it to him next and he has to work a little bit more.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Ain't y' all boys with Dana? Yeah, yeah. Dana would chill.
Interviewer 3
I think it should be him next.
Interviewer 1
I mean, he definitely destroyed it.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I think. Okay, so what I want.
Interviewer 1
That's what I'm wondering now too, though. I think with this, I want to ask you to your opinion. With this new Paramount era, like, it was obviously, you know, it's a big fucking financial deal. Are they just gonna be looking to make the biggest fights now? Like, I'm wondering if fight matchmaking is gonna change a little bit and are they just gonna look and be like, yo, what's the biggest fight? Because, like, Patty Pimblett is a bigger fight to watch. But obviously Armand deserves the shot. But I'm wondering, are we gonna see matchmaking changing a little bit?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Now that's a muffin. Good question. It don't matter if they do or don't. Cause people gonna watch UFC anyway. Like, Uncle Dana, he done such A good job of promoting the sport that people just want to watch it anyway. But, you know, he probably. You know, he probably. He probably needed like a, you know, a big bang if he's coming on Paramount. Like, when. When does that start?
Interviewer 1
The first fight's January 24th, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
So he should come out. If I was. That, I would come out hard like that. Like, yeah, look at this. Boom. But they don't have to. People gonna watch anyway. Some people are invested in their favorite fighters, and all they gotta do, put on their favorite fighters.
Interviewer 1
That's the thing you'll always complain about, like, oh, this guy should get the shot. But at the end of the day, we're gonna watch. And I think they know that too, where it's like, dude, they're gonna watch no matter what.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Right. Well, did you have another question?
Interviewer 3
No, not yet.
Interviewer 2
Wait. I want to ask you about going back to Memphis. Like, going up there. When did you think you start because you. With, like, Jorge Masvidal kind of.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
What.
Interviewer 2
What the. Was he on where they fought in the backyard?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah, he was. He was doing that. Same with Kimbo Slice.
Interviewer 2
Yes. So he grew up doing like that when he was young. Did you have, like, a similar upbringing where you had.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah, but we didn't film. We didn't film my. No, I. I grew up. I grew up fighting. Memphis is a fight town. Like, people. People fight. And I got a cousin Rip. You know, I miss him. He. He was six months younger than me, and he was the first person I ever got in a fight with. He was a dick. He's a dick. He'll steal your clothes. He'll steal your toys. Just one of those kids. He grew up in the projects right down the street from my grandmama house. And then we moved into my grandmother house to help her take. You know, we helped take care of before she died of cancer. Right. So I'm. So I'm growing up closer to my cousin now because he lived, like, right down the street and, man, him fault every day. And then he used to get bullied in his. In his. Because he lived in the projects. And we. It was some woods behind our house, and we had, like, a little special shortcut through the woods. So he would call me and like, hey, I can't leave the house. These guys are chasing me into my house. I can't leave the house. So I just had to go through the woods in the shortcut. Go. Go to his house and fight the dudes in the projects. Like, sometimes I get ju. Like two or three Dudes, I just wasn't scared to fight.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, we're not getting shot.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, they wouldn't shooting you. They weren't shooting at that, that age. This okay. I was young. Yeah, I'm talking about 10, 11, 12. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They wouldn't, they weren't shooting. But one guy, my, my neighbor in my elementary school, he later on, yeah, he, he did start bringing guns out. Yeah, that's, that's a whole nother story. But normally when nobody and the kids wouldn't getting shot.
Interviewer 2
So you'd go over there, you'd have to fight these guys.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Had to fight these guys. And he was staying the house and watching me get jumped by two or three guys.
Interviewer 2
What's up with that?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He's a coward. He's a coward. Then after I fight these two or three guys, then I would have to beat his ass for not helping me all the time. Every time. Every time. One time he, he come to my house, I'm playing video games and he come to my house like hey, I got to take these keys back to this girl. Can you walk with me? I'm like why, why you need me walk with cuz. He's. I guess, I guess one of these girls boyfriends didn't like me over there. So I, so we walk all the way back to the school, my junior high school, which is like a 45 minute walk. I'm knowing I'm going to get jumped and knowing he wasn't going to help me. But he's my cousin and I can't stand bullies walk there and I didn't know I was gonna get jumped by a lot of people though. And this sitting there and still didn't help me, bro.
Interviewer 2
So let me just explain something. From what I'm hearing, he's in a lose lose situation because he's asking come over and protect him. But if he doesn't help you, he gets his ass beat either by them or you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, if he don't help me, he know I'mma beat his ass. That's what I'm saying.
Interviewer 2
So it's kind of a lose lose for him.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, but he should at least help me though.
Interviewer 2
I agree with you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
So he going to get his ass beat anyway, right?
Interviewer 2
That's what I'm saying.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Right. So he should, he should at least help his cousin. Right?
Interviewer 2
I agree.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Thank you. I don't understand his thinking when, when.
Interviewer 2
You'Re doing that and going through it, when do you realize you can take it to a real professional fighting?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I didn't Know, until I started wrestling, I went to. You know, I went to college, and I. And I came home from college, and this guy you had to wrestle against in high school was crazy. His coach and my coach was best friends, and me and him end up being the two best wrestlers in the weight class in Memphis. So we become friends, and. And I came home from college, and he was like. He took me to a MMA show, and I didn't know much about it, but one of my coaches in college, he was in the UFC back in the day when there was no rul. Vladimir Klitschko. I don't know if y'. All. Yeah, I can't pronounce his last name. It's crazy Russian last night. But he was. I remember he was training for ufc, and somebody telling me, because we was in a room with him, he's a great wrestler. He was flipping everybody around with us. Iris. I'm like, what the he doing? That ain't wrestling. Oh, he trained for the ufc. I was like, what the is that? And they showed. That's when I first got my radar. They kind of showed me a clip of ufc. I'm like, oh, okay, that's cool. You know? But nobody in college knew I was a good fighter. Nobody knew. You know, I grew up. I grew up fighting. I used to fight grown men. I didn't give a fuck. I just wasn't scared to fight.
Interviewer 1
But just street fights. No professional striking training?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, no. I never had. I never had professional strength striking.
Interviewer 1
Wow.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No. Grew up fighting on the street, and I used to pick people up, slam them on the street. I used to want to be a pro wrestler. Like, I used street fighter. I was a brawler. That's my style. If you check out my stats in UFC coming, I said I was a brawler. People like, why you don't throw leg kicks? Why you don't do this? I'm like, I'm a brawler. That's my style. You know, I was kind of like kimo size, but I wasn't doing it for, like, for money or.
Interviewer 2
Or.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Well, sometimes my job when I work for those people. But it's because people owed money. I wasn't doing it for, like. Like, kimo size, and so we wasn't filming it. But I've had a lot of fights. A lot of fights. I got jumped a lot, too.
Interviewer 2
What was your first, like, paid fight?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, my first paid fight was King of the Cage.
Interviewer 2
And what was your paycheck for that?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
500 bucks.
Interviewer 2
King of the Cage.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
It was a Local show sounds like.
Interviewer 2
Spider Man 2 where he. You know what I'm talking about?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 3
What was the most you ever made in a fight?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I ain't saying that it was a lot though.
Interviewer 2
He's always pocket watching.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, you're a pocket watching. First millions.
Interviewer 2
Wait. Rampage. So King of the Cage, is that where one guy just everyone tries to fight him?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, no.
Interviewer 2
Oh, okay. That's what it sounds like.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
It was nice. Honestly. King Cage was at that time, it was just a little bit smaller than ufc. Okay, it was, but it was the. It was like the biggest.
Interviewer 1
Really?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. Biggest local show in. In America. The. The promoter name was Terry Treblecock and if he had the Fatida's money like Dana did, King Cage would be all. You guys would be watching King and Case out of ufc. But he just didn't have that. He was a very smart promoter and he just, he just didn't have the money. Honestly. The UFC kind of, they smart, but they, them UFC had the money behind them, so they, they went and did a deal with pay per view to where you had to pay. You had to pay pay per view, you know. Yeah, what's. What's that pay per view company? The one that was popular a couple years ago? Whatever.
Interviewer 2
HBO or Showtime.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, it was another one. Whatever the. It was. Whatever pay per view company was. I forgot that they was putting on the fights. They had to pay like 250k or something like that to even down there when the paper company was supposed to pay them. So they made their model to where other people can't afford to get on pay per view. The UFC did that.
Interviewer 2
What was King of the Cage? How was that broadcasted? Oh, this?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, this? This. It's like 2004, 2001, 2002. It's like, yeah, 2001, 2002.
Interviewer 2
When you're fighting King in the cage, when did you realize you could turn this into like a stardom and really take over?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
My first fight, the King Cage, I got the beat out of me, but everybody loved it because it was an exciting fight. And I didn't know. I was just. It was a two weeks notice fight. I was bummed out. It was my first pro fight and I lost. I only had two amateur fights. My first pro fight, they told me I was fighting a kickboxer. I'm like, I'm a wrestler and I had never trained kickboxing before. I said, oh, okay, I'm just gonna go pick this guy up, slam him and take him down. I get into the fight and was a better wrestler than me. He was a wrestler and a kickboxer. So they gotta. You know, that's what they used to do back then. I'm like, what the fuck? But then I didn't give up, and I went out there and I tried to fight, and I almost came back at the end of the fight, and they was like, oh, my God, you. You're an exciting fighter. You got what it takes, blah, blah, blah. And that's the one I knew. I'm like, okay, let me keep this shit up.
Interviewer 1
Do you think, in a sense, that you guys and the guys in your air help make the UFC what it is today?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
100%? We 100.
Interviewer 1
It wasn't mainstream back then, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No. Pride FC, where I come from in Japan was actually the biggest show in the world. But they up with the Yakuza and. And they lost the TV rights, and they. And they. And their money went down. I jumped ship because they used to treat me like I jumped ship. And I went to this other organization and ufc, which is after the Ultimate Fighter, man, they got lucky, right? With the Ultimate Fighter. With that, the Force Griffin and was a guy named. Passed away. Shame on me for not.
Interviewer 1
I know.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. And that. They got lucky with that, and then, you know, they just went up with. What was that. That TV show that was on that man, the man channel.
Interviewer 1
Spike tv.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Spike tv. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Interviewer 1
Stefan Bonner.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Stefan Bonner, rip. Stefan Bonner. Yeah, yeah. Spike tv. Ufc. They. They made some good moves, but they got some lucky moves, too. And Pride went down, and I think it was karma with. With Pride. I ain't going to lie. Pride was. Pride was. They would. They were bags, bro. But they was the biggest show in the world. And as soon as I found out everything, I was like, all right, peace. I jumped ship. And then UFC just. That's one up. I never wanted to go to the UFC because of Tito Ortiz. Him. And I was cool. He was a champion around. By the time I was like, I don't want to go there. I don't. I don't want to go there, because I would have liked to, you know. You know, you got to bet on yourself, right? So I think I would have beat Tito and took his belt, and nobody knew me. Like, only the hardcore fans knew me.
Interviewer 1
I don't think there's ever been a division like that's been that stacked with so many stars, right? Like, there's. It's not like that now. Like, that light heavyweight division was fucking crazy.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Well, they do got. They do got A lot of stars. They got Alex, right?
Interviewer 1
I'm just saying in one division.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah.
Interviewer 1
You know what I'm saying? No, there's a lot of stars right now. There's a lot of stars.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Alex. What's. What's his name? How you say that name? Joe Jansky.
Interviewer 3
Oh, Yuri Prosper.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah. And then we got Hill.
Interviewer 3
Jamal Hill.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Jamal Hill. Then you got Brown Tree, Right?
Interviewer 1
There's some stars, but that's. I don't think it's the stardom that. That has, though.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't know, dude.
Interviewer 2
I feel like you would crush it in the wwe.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, man. I always wanted to be a pro wrestler, bro.
Interviewer 2
I feel like you got the personality and it'd be hilarious.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 2
And you're a beast.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I. I would have a hard time doing those monologues, though, because I started smoking weed at a young age. I up my memory. I couldn't remember the lines.
Interviewer 2
But you're off the weed. Are you still on it?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, I don't smoke weed. I stopped when I turned 17.
Interviewer 2
When did you pick that up? Like seven, seventh birthday, first top box. Damn, bro.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I hung around. I hung around adults. That's why I'm a big kid now. People don't understand. I didn't really have a childhood, so I was hanging out. I was hanging around adults when I was a kid. They liked me. I don't know why I was funny. I'd joke around, you know.
Interviewer 3
How did.
Interviewer 2
Do you think fighting kept you out of the dark side of all the street?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
What do you mean?
Interviewer 2
Like, obviously it's. There's routes of going in the gang violence.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah.
Interviewer 2
Drugs and stuff.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, yeah, I did that. I did the, the. Not the gangs, but the drugs. I hated gangs because I just get jumped by the gang. So I never like gangs, but I sold. I sold the drugs. It's like, it was cool. Was kind of hard to maneuver around that in my neighborhood because the, like, the guy who pretty much took me up on his wing, he, he. You know, my mom had a lot of kids and my mom got a divorce from my dad, right? So I was like the middle child, you know, the middle child syndrome. You know, my mom, like, I. There's no secret in my family. I was like her least favorite kid. So he could kind of tell, like, you know, I didn't want to be in the house with my siblings this year, right. So he kind of took me up on this wing. And he was. The guy was smart. He taught me. He was really smart. He noticed that if I hung out with him and he put all the drugs and the guns on me. He don't gotta run when the police come. Dang. They went. They wasn't searching me because, you know, so even I was a big kid. I still look and dress like a kid. And he just taught me like, oh yeah, just go hang out over there. And then when he was time to make a sale at first, he would call me over and I give him stuff. After a while, he said he just started showing me how much the stuff was worth. Then he had me do it and he would just break me off a little bit. He was still exploiting me. Right. He wasn't paying me much.
Interviewer 2
You talked about how you streamed on Twitch for a little bit.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 2
So you took a. You took time off.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I was streaming on Twitch. Just talking how people play video games with. Man. I did a few IRLs back in the day.

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson

Interviewer 2
The chat was getting to you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
And also, you don't. You didn't get as much out of it back then. Right before the clipping era, streaming was kind of. Yeah, you mean you had your hardcore community. But now it's crazy though.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I still got more followers on. On Twitch than I do still right now on Kick. It's crazy. I think they still there. I don't know.
Interviewer 1
So what made you like get into streaming? You tried it and then just had success with it.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Bored. I was retiring. I didn't know what the. What the. I was going to do and just a mistake. One of my. One of my friends, he's a boxer and we all train at the same gym. He came to the gym and he was streaming. He was holding the camera by himself in the chat. And then his chat saw me and they started cooking me. I'm like, what the. Because this kid, he's a funny. He's a funny guy. He's a boxer. He's a funny. A lot of boxers not funny. He's really funny. I really like his name, Dean the Great on Kick. I really like this kid. You know what I'm saying? And me, him, you know, talk about each other all the time. And I really. I really like that. Make Me laugh. I like that. You know, that's just how I am. And it's like my coach in Memphis, so. But his chat started cooking the out of me, you know, like. Like what? The saying.
Interviewer 2
What?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
They just. I can't remember. They were talking about my head being big and broke.
Interviewer 2
They're smart because they know like a guy that hasn't seen that before, they're gonna lose their temper or get pissed.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 2
Someone who hasn't seen it.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. I was like, I don't know what the was going on. So I'm talking back to them and. And I don't got no ammo. I can't see what they look like. So I'm just saying, whatever. And then one time I just. I had to. I had on a shirt with a pocket and I just ripped it. I got mad. I ripped the shirt and my nipple was sitting. It started ripping me off more because I'm sitting there with a rib shirt with my nipple showing.
Interviewer 2
The guy, Candy Jackson.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. Oh, what the fuck? And I, you know, like, you know, try to fix it or whatever. Then, right then I get a phone call from his manager because I met his manager before because his manager was Fousey's manager.

You don't want to be in like a, A long term relationship or.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
If I find the right. Yeah, if I find the right one. Yeah. Maybe not a feminist. A woman that can. Can hear the word no and not try to like, you know, get, get. Get her payback for you telling her no. Like a woman that can accept she got a good. Well, I have my own chef. She really. She don't gotta know how to cook.
Interviewer 2

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You know how to cook. But my chef is like, probably better cook than.
Interviewer 1
Yeah, leave it to the chef.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson

Interviewer 1
Facts.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That's one.
Interviewer 1
Did you date a girl that doesn't get blow jobs ever? What if she was the perfect girl, bro?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I've done that before. No, she was hot as. But she liked anal. So I was like.
Interviewer 1
But still.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, she gave me a blow job with her that was okay. She was hot. But I was like, yeah, but you're right. Blow jobs is a requirement. You just. You just cheat on them. If a girl don't give you what you want, you just cheat on them.
Interviewer 2
That's.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You don't cheat on your girlfriend. I have.
Interviewer 3
I regret it, but I just.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Why you regret this is what I say. Cheat until you get married. Just don't cheat on your wife.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, that's a common thing.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. Yeah.
Interviewer 2
It's crazy how common that's said Right.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 2
Because everyone must believe in it.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. But you know, guys, we're not really, we're not meant to be with just one woman. We just, it's just, it's just not designed that way.
Interviewer 2
No.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
But now women are, they're getting more powerful and which is fine. They want to be equal, which is not fine because equal means the same thing. And that's something that we're not. That's why I like a woman, because they're, because she's not a man. And so, but they want to be equal. And they get most. And they want us to, they want us to think that we are meant to be with one woman. And like time is going on like, and we getting away from the old, old days and we starting to believe that we. I don't think we're supposed to be with one woman.
Interviewer 2
I agree with you. And here's the problem though is if we sleep with a different girl, it can be strictly physical. But if they do it, it's super emotional.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Right.
Interviewer 2
So they don't get that.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
They don't get that.
Interviewer 2
They. I don't know how we can program them to get that.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
But honestly, I think they do know that. They just, they, they don't like it because it's not fair.
Interviewer 2
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I got a daughter, I got an 18 year old daughter gonna be 19 in this month. And that's what I've been trying, I'm trying to keep it real with her, my guys and she, she don't, she don't think it's fair.
Interviewer 2
Has she brought home like a boyfriend to me?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. I've met all her boyfriends that she's intimidated.
Interviewer 3
Are those guys you definitely with them?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Me and my daughter. Me and my daughter has, we have a agreement. Agreement. She can't, I can't catch her in a lot. She can't lie to me about nothing. So I, you know, she's my daughter. I asked her the most off the wall questions because I want her to lie to me as soon as she lied to me. She can't control me with her boyfriends anymore. I can scare the out of them. I could do whatever the I want to do. But right now she hasn't lied yet. So I gotta meet them. I gotta be at dinner and I gotta be that nice dad. She don't want me to scare her boyfriends. So there, like I, I got her.
Interviewer 1
Location, but you know, they're still shaking inside.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But my daughter, she's my princess. She is my heart. She's My world, like, I'm totally different around her. And I, you know, I'm. I keep it. I keep it 100. I did not want no daughter just because of this, because I knew she would change me. Because before that, you know what I'm saying? I was always rampaged. I was always rampaged back before she was born. Like, she's what? She's What? She what? 19 this month. So 19 years ago. I wouldn't even tell people my name is Quentin. I meet people. Rampage, rampage. You know what I'm saying? I always was in a rampage mindset because I'm two people, right? So I was always in that rampage mindset. And then now, once I had my daughter now just makes. It makes you soft. My daughter said, oh, you sensitive. I'm like, you're sensitive. You know, you're my daughter. You know, I'm different. I'm different with her than I am with my son. I play with her and do something, then my son come and fart on his face. Come on. You know, this is different with you. Just different with your princess.

Yeah.
Interviewer 1
And he seems like a good guy, too.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, actually. He is actually a good guy.
Interviewer 1
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
But I'm mad at him right now because I was in Dubai recently and I made a joke about Neon's people, and he retaliated with something more personal, saying, jon Jones is my daddy. So when I see Neon again, I'm gonna have to, like, put him in this place.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, I mean, Celine was saying the same thing before you guys.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Oh, you said the same.
Interviewer 2
Said that, man, he's supposed to go get John Jones.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I never said that. You said the same.
Interviewer 3
I never said that.
Interviewer 2
I never said that. No, he didn't say. He said you were his son, so he didn't say he was your daddy. You said he was your son.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You said the same.
Interviewer 3
Son.
Interviewer 2
You said Rampage is John. John Jones said that.
Interviewer 3
Come on.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I think you would lie to me. Look at him. Come on. I don't. I don't see him.
Interviewer 1
Why would I say that?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Why would I say that?
Interviewer 2
You could.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Why would Neon say it?
Interviewer 2
Why don't you just take the time to apologize? This is your apology. I didn't say it, so just give me.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, man. Man.
Interviewer 3
All right.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I believe you. I believe you. I saw.
Interviewer 1
I saw something. When Jon Jones. When you guys fought, when he came out on all fours, was that true? That he was having dreams of you knocking him out, and that's why he did that?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I'm gonna tell you, this is a crazy day. I believe in manifestation, and back then, I was really strong with it. I'm telling you, I believe him when he said he was having dreams, because that's why I was meant. That's why I was. Okay.
Interviewer 1
If you're inceptioning his ass. You seen the movie.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
If you. If you mentally see something or you focus on it and you see it over and over, the universe normally gives it to you. But that's why they stepped on my wheels. That's why we. Y' all don't. It's so hard for me to break this down, for people to understand. That's why when you fight, it's like, you know, it's like the fighter's will. Like who's will? And he changed it, he changed everything by crawling into that cage. The kid, that's why I call him Neo. I call him Neo of mma. And people don't understand why. Why?
Interviewer 1
Because you were visualizing yourself knocked out.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
That was because I've never lost a fight in that good of shape. I was close to. Now, you know most fighters you'd never. 100. You know that, right? Yeah, because I went up to Denver. The fight was in Denver. I went up there like three or four months early. And I stayed at the gym. I took supplements like for the whole training camp. It was like whatever supplements company that was sponsored us. I forgot whatever the it was. And I was running like, like six miles a day. And I was like training super hard. 3. I was staying in the gym. I wanted my belt back. And I just knew I was going to knock him out. I just knew I was knocking out my spawn partner. I had like sparring partner, just as tall as him, taller than him, knocking them out.
Interviewer 1
So you were creating nightmares for him. Because apparently, I don't know if it's true, but apparently he was dreaming every time that you were knocking him out.
Interviewer 3
Brother said it, right?
Interviewer 1
And he couldn't escape it.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He was going to get knocked out.
Interviewer 2
What you feel like he got in his head or why do you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, no. It was like my vision, like my.
Interviewer 1
His visions were effect going into his.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
We all have this. We all have this power. Like we, we create our own reality. This. Whether y' all believe this or not, I don't give a. I do believe.
Interviewer 2
That manifestation is real, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
It's real. So that's what I was doing. I was manifestation. I was manifesting. Me knocking him the out. And he, he, he knows this. He is stronger than mine. His will, stronger than mine. He's. The kid is Neo. Right? And so he knew it. He knew it because he said it. No matter which way he was trying to, whatever way he was visioning it, he was still getting knocked out. And that was true. But he broke it. He broke. He broke my manifestation. He broke my will. When he walked, when he crawled into that cage, that was the only way that he didn't. He didn't.
Interviewer 1
He was on the force for a long time too, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah. And I'd never seen that before.
Interviewer 1
Yeah.
Interviewer 3
You think Jon Jones fights again?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I think he wants to fight on the White House.
Interviewer 1
Who do you think will be on that card?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I have no idea.
Interviewer 1
Look, you had to guess.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
God, I'm So far gone from ufc. I was. I was keeping up with it for the podcast, but.
Interviewer 1
But now you just don't used to be.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, it's funny. It used to be UFC sitting in the fight section. Now you're hanging out with Neon and Fousey because you're a streamer, bro.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I'm. I've never been a fan of mma.
Interviewer 2
Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you this, dude. Like, when I see the clips. You're hilarious on stream. It's like, you're a natural streamer.

Thank you, bro. I like it. It's so fun. Streaming and I hang that. Most of the guys become, like, my friends. Like, I'm hanging out with my friends, and we just tell dad jokes, and they teaching me new. Like, a lot of guys, like, this age.
Interviewer 2
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
And they teach me. Call me Unc, but then that, like, they make fun of me, like, the way I dress, because I guess sometimes I'd be just like an old man. Don't even know it. You know, back. Back when I was young, old men, they dressed different. They used to wear the pants all the way up here. You know those.
Interviewer 2
Tuck your shirt in.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, old people, we don't dress like that now. Right. If I wear something like, I think cool, they just fucking just jump on me right away. And I can't. I can't go change. I gotta fucking, like, stand up to, like, you know, defend my fucking outfit.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, you defend your outfit, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I defend my outfit, man. I defend my outfit. Like, fuck it then. But then it do make me feel some type of way. They be fucking cooking me, though. Probably be this nigga right here.
Interviewer 2

Interviewer 1
Yeah, Yeah, I was gonna ask, too. Who do you got this weekend? Joshua or Jake Paul?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Come on, man. You gotta go with Josh, right? Are you guys going for Jake Paul?
Interviewer 2
I don't know, bro. This. I mean, what do you think about that?
Interviewer 1
He has experience and size, man.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Did you see. Did you guys see what he did to Francis Muganu? Did y' all see that?
Interviewer 2
I didn't even watch that.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, you didn't watch that. Did you watch it?
Interviewer 1
Yeah, he beat him. Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Did you see. Did you see that setup? He did. He set him up. Can you understand setups?
Interviewer 1
Like, not like you can, but.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Okay, yeah.
Interviewer 2
Wait, say that again. Who said who up?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Joshua set him up with that. With the knockout. He set him up. He was. I saw it. He was setting him up with that body shot. I think he's going to do the same type of thing to Jake. I don't think Jake has enough experience to. To know when he. To see a setup while he's in there fighting.
Interviewer 2
I really like Jake a lot. I think he's accomplished a lot. But then you see these clips of, like, even when he, like, fought Tyson, there's, like, a clip of Tyson where he's a clean right hook and he holds back. No, And I'm not saying he does that, but, like, you think Tyson was holding back? If Jake Paul. Yeah, if Jake Paul. No, I don't know. I'm just saying that's what they say. If Jake Paul wins against Joshua, then what are people. No one's gonna say. The only thing people are gonna say is this has been rigged. Right?
Interviewer 1
You can't. You can't pay a fighter of Joshua's level or Tyson's level to throw a fight, bro.
Interviewer 2
I don't know about that. I'm gonna be honest.
Interviewer 1
Rampage, what's your opinion on that?
Interviewer 2
Joshua could go put 10 million on himself to lose, bro.
Interviewer 1
Nah, they're not doing that. There's not.
Interviewer 2
His legacy will be on anyone's doing.
Interviewer 3
I'm saying it's Joshua's legacy, right?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't think he'll do that. What he said. What he's saying is possible, if there's.
Interviewer 1
Possible, but I don't think it's happening.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I don't think. Because who wants to lose to Jake Paul now at that level, right? Who wants to be known as the. The. I don't think Josh.
Interviewer 1
He could have killed.
Interviewer 2
Okay? Josh was different because he's a legit boxer.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He don't want to be known as the boxer that lost it.
Interviewer 1
Anderson Silva.
Interviewer 2
I mean, I don't want to, like. I mean, look at Ben Askren. You don't think Ben Askren's like, I can just put a million on myself and get hit and go down.
Interviewer 3
Oh, maybe in that case. Because Ben asking.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Right. Yeah.
Interviewer 2
I don't know. I'M just saying.
Interviewer 3
Yeah, let me get it back.
Interviewer 2
Quick hypothetical.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He's a wrestler though, and he probably like didn't even train.
Interviewer 1
That was early on too, when Jake was a nobody. So he probably just underestimated him.
Interviewer 2
Yeah, yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Maybe now that he's a wrestler too. But he got hands, but it's not boxing. So this is what, this is what people don't understand with, with boxing when it comes to mma. Like, we train boxing, but we don't dedicate a lot of time to it. Right. Because we can't. We gotta train everything. And you go against somebody like Jay Paul, say, for like couple years, that's all he's been doing is just boxing. He is going to have a edge on us.
Interviewer 2
I just think the whole this, it is. You do think about like the conspiracy or like these theories and when you.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
See it, I thought that, I thought that the fight with Tyrone Woodley was rigged. I did because he shook his glove and Tyrone glove came out. But me and Tyron Woodley were like, we're cool. And I had him on the podcast. I was like, think twice. That was fake. He's like, no, because, you know, like, it's like a level, like fighters and stuff. We had to keep it real with each other. And he was like, no, no. He said, I got, he said, well, he said, no, there's not enough money in the world. You know, because he had, he has.
Interviewer 2
Because he has a point.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Ego.
Interviewer 2
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Because that was a real shot. That was a real shot. But it was just, it was just, it just crazy the way he, the way he did it. But it was a real shot. He's like, he was like, no, so. But I can't believe him because people thought I, I've thrown fights before in my life and I, and I haven't. I've never thrown a fight. But in Japan and Pride, some of those fights were fixed. Some of those fights against the, those Japanese pro wrestlers, those, those fake fights. But I've never thrown a fight. So I understand that. Like, I understand when, when you got like honor and morals.
Interviewer 2
Yeah.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
So I don't think Anderson Civil would, would throw a fight. It's just he was, he was older and like age. Father Time is undefeated. But Ben Askren, I bet you. Bet you he put a bunch of money on Jake Paul.
Interviewer 2
Yeah. I mean it. I don't know why.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I wouldn't throw no fight if I was Ben Askers. I wouldn't throw a fight. I would train as good as, like, I train a little bit.
Interviewer 1
So you Think Jake's not even in on it. Ben Askren just bets on him.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I think so. I think Jake wasn't even in on. I think Ben Askren, he knew he was going to lose. He put a bunch. He had somebody put a bunch of money on Jake Paul. That's probably why he made. I would see. I would do that while I was here.
Interviewer 2
Him.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He got hands. Sorry.
Interviewer 2
Wait, hold on. That's. You're also missing the point. If Ben Askren wins, what's he gonna do next? Like, he's not gonna. He doesn't give a.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He'll give a.
Interviewer 1
Well, maybe he would have lost by decision then, not knockout because he got cleaned.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, but.
Interviewer 2
But I don't know. It's just an interesting thing, and I think Jake's great, but you gotta. It's just interesting.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Jake is actually surprisingly a good boxer. And I'm gonna tell you something. Jake is. Jake Paul is the one who got me back to watching boss boxer. Got me back watching boxing. Remember during COVID Yeah. Like, he was. He's entertaining as bro.
Interviewer 2
Before him, it was literally just the Mayweather era. No one was watching, really, in between.
Interviewer 1
Like you, Triple G. I like watching Ryan Garcia's fights.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Ryan Garcia, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Interviewer 2
But no, Jake did really bring the sport back.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
So he did.
Interviewer 2
He did credit for that.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
You gotta give him credit. Like, people. People hating on him, you know, hate on all you want. But it's easy to hate on him, though, because some of the. He.
Interviewer 1
He.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He says and stuff like that, I've even got caught up in it. He's a hate on him. But when you think about it, like, he's entertaining us and he's. He's. He's turned into a credible boxer.
Interviewer 2
He's really making it possible where everyone will say, I'm not gonna watch that. Everyone tunes in Netflix.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
He's the first one he first wanted to go to next with Mike Tyson.
Interviewer 2
That's.
Interviewer 1
That's a crazy accomplishment.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
But I could have done. I could have. I could have done without Mike Tyson mooning us on Netflix. But other than that.
Interviewer 2
I remember.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, it was.
Interviewer 1
Who knows how much that affects the entire industry, Right? Like, did that impact somewhat, even 1%, like the UFC mooning?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No.
Interviewer 3
No.
Interviewer 1
Jake Paul going to Netflix. Like, did that somewhat affect the UFC's Paramount deal and at least even 1%, like all these streaming platforms are now. It's crazy.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah.
Interviewer 1
What's one thing that you want to do for a stream? Like, a crazy stream that you want to do?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I can say some Stuff, but I think people gonna steal some of my ideas. But I do have a bunch of crazy stuff, you know, maybe something I can give and I got one, I got one that I can't give away. But bro, I can say I'm trying to set it up now, but it's going to take me like maybe like four weeks and it's going to be four weeks straight, but like 12 hours.
Interviewer 2
A day, the stream. So you're gonna do a subathon? Wow.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
No, no, no. I don't do something I'm just gonna.
Interviewer 2
Do every day for.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah. But no, I don't care if people sub or donate. I don't give a. About that.
Interviewer 1
But it's gonna be four weeks straight, 12 hours a day.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, but it's not a subath.
Interviewer 2
12 hours a day. My bad.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hate, I hate those. I hate when streaming big. Hey. So I don't give a. I don't give a. Because on Kick they don't got us up, right? Because then ain't no ads, right? So what they get, what they get when they sub, right? Or do they get though on kick when it's up?
Interviewer 2
I'm not even sure.
Interviewer 1
Same, right? Five bucks.
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I know, but what do they get? Because on Twitch, right, You just skip the ads. Yeah, there's no incentive on. On kick, right? Yeah, I, I'm cool, I'm cool. Like I, I think it's long. I, I ask people to come my stream. Just, just be positive. Like I don't care if people troll me and stuff like that. But you know, it's different when people take a personal stab. Talk about Jon Jones beating me or talking about my son doing the. Or some personal stab like, nah, you gotta go. I ban the out of people. Yeah, but you know, people just. No, they come in, they make fun of me. It's cool. Like make fun of what I'm wearing on my big head. We choking. Yeah, that's cool. But you know, you know what I'm saying? But now this thing, I'm doing it, I can, I don't want to give it away, but it's going to be like a. Some type of sporting event. That's all I can tell you.
Interviewer 1
That's.
Interviewer 2
Have you ever done any streams with you? Like back just wrestling or anything?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
I did a stream with me sparring. This, this, this super heavyweight boxer that fought for Aiden.
Interviewer 2
Yeah. Was it like a good stream?
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson
Yeah, I thought it was a good stream. His name Chibu. Y' all heard of Chibu? He's A big black guy. He's undefeated. Boxing and brand risk. I thought it was a good, good one. And we had some of those girls trying out for the stream for the twerk pageant. They were so. Happened to be in the gym that day shooting some. I had to shoot some content to have a busy day, shoot a commercial. So I paid him extra to distract him in between rounds, like twerking in front of him. So I thought it was a really good stream. And I. I did some streaming with me wrestling with my son before all that crazy happened. But I need to get back into mma. I'm going. I'm going to Florida to get like a little procedure on my knee. Yeah. And I'm gonna check it out and. And see how it does versus stem cells. Because it takes. It takes a while for stem cells to heal you up, but this one's supposed to heal you up faster. But it's not the same thing. Right. But I'm gonna go and check it out and if that heals up my knee, I'm gonna. I'm a. I'm a hire. I got a cousin that's a little bit smaller than me. He does mma. I'm hired him to come and train with me like three times a week. So I get back MMA and stream some of that. But there's some crazy things I do want to do. I wanna. I wanna go and drive on the autobomb, you know, I don't know if you can stream that. There's a couple. Couple different things. I'm going to the Philippines to survive for 24, 48 hours.

On manifestation and fighting Jon Jones:
“We all have this power…we create our own reality…that’s what I was doing. I was manifesting me knocking him the fuck out, and he...is stronger than mine. His will, stronger than mine. He’s...Neo.” (56:43)
The whole conversation is loose, brash, and bursting with Rampage’s signature blend of swagger, mischief, and raw honesty. He’s unafraid to poke fun—at himself, his past, and the wild state of fight sports and streaming culture. If you love irreverent nostalgia mixed with hard-earned realness and a stream of funny, sometimes jaw-dropping anecdotes, this is a must-listen.
