As one of the first major crossover stars in MMA, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson knows what it’s like to be under the constant glare of public scrutiny. Accordingly, he’s in a good position to empathise with the sport’s current biggest star – Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n

The former UFC and Pride champion appeared on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Hour<\/a> this week and gave his opinion<\/a> on the Irishman and some of his past incidents.<\/p>\n

Overall, the 43 year-old was complimentary about McGregor’s contribution to MMA and alluded the fact that’s he’s transcended the sport. He did however, single out an infamous occurrence in 2019 where CCTV footage appeared to show the former champ champ striking a man in a pub.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I don’t agree with everything Conor says, but I think he’s great for the sport. You know, at the end of the day he’s an entertainer,” Jackson told Helwani.<\/p>\n

“In my book, Conor can say and do whatever he wants. He kind of does stuff that makes himself look bad. I’ve never met the guy, but I’m a fan of Conor McGregor for what he’s done for the sport. I just wish he would chill out on beating up old men. That ain’t right. I need to slap some sense into Conor McGregor for that s**t,” he added.<\/p>\n

Jackson’s last fight took place in Saitama in 2019. In a landmark crossover event with Japan’s Rizin, ‘Rampage’ via first round tKO against fellow MMA icon, Fedor Emlianenko.<\/p>\n

Now, it appears as though Jackson has a comeback in the works. The A-Team star told Helwani that he has a fight lined up against Shannon Briggs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a boxing match and then he says he wants to wait six months later [to do MMA]. I\u2019m telling him that\u2019s too long. We gotta wait two or three months and then do an MMA fight,\u201d Jackson told Helwani.<\/p>\n

\"Quinton<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to set up the fight for Dec. 4,\u201d he continued. \u201cI signed the paperwork and stuff like that. I think he\u2019s waiting on one of his promotors. I\u2019m going to let them promote the boxing match because boxing is different than MMA, right? I don\u2019t know how to promote no boxing match. We\u2019re just waiting on a couple of people, but we have the contracts and stuff drawn up.”<\/p>\n

Jackson then added that he had put pen to paper on a Letter of Intent (LOI) to fight Briggs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a couple of venues hitting us up. We\u2019re just weighing out our options. We\u2019re also are trying to do a 24\/7. A little reality show. I need to show the world that I\u2019m serious and that I\u2019m training hard. That I\u2019m back in shape,\u201d he explained. \u201cI have a meeting tomorrow with some people who want to give us a reality show. I\u2019m going, to be honest. This guy, for him to be that ugly and that old, he\u2019s very f\u2014king entertaining. He\u2019s fun as hell. This guy is like the boxing version of me, except I\u2019m not as old and ugly as he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you looking forward to seeing ‘Rampage’ back in action?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
