MMANews.com's John Hartnett recently caught up with number one Middleweight contender in the PRIDE Fighting Championships Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to ask him about his fight with Kevin Randleman, the post-fight brawl with Vanderlei Silva, among other topics.
When asked for a comment about the fight with Kevin Randleman, "Rampage" told MMANews.com, "That was a tough ass fight. I knew I had to stay up to win that fight. If I would have got taken down, that probably would have been the end for me."
Did Quinton do any special training for the highly regarded wrestling skills of Randleman? "I trained everything. Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, the same I train for everyone, but for this fight I had some great wrestlers come in and help me out."
Here's what Jackson had to say about current PRIDE Middleweight champion Vanderlei Silva, "I think Vanderlei Silva's gonna get beat down. I think he's gonna get beat the f*ck down. I think Vanderlei Silva's gonna get slammed on his head, beat up standing up, beat up on the ground. I think Vanderlei Silva's probably gonna get embarassed."
When everyone saw the post-fight brawl at PRIDE 25 between Quinton Jackson and Vanderlei Silva, the immediate reaction was "it's a work". What does "Rampage" think about those accussations? "Hell no. I ain't no f*cking actor. Do I look like a f*cking actor? I'm not a f*cking actor. Maybe one day I would like to be an actor after I'm done fighting and beating people the f*ck up all the time, but I'm not a f*cking actor. Vanderlei should have never touched me. I'm gonna embarrass his punk ass."
So when will the already highly anticipated Quinton Jackson vs. Vanderlei Silva PRIDE Middleweight title bout take place? Some are hoping as early as PRIDE 26 on June 6th. When asked if it would in fact happen at PRIDE 26, Quinton Jackson told MMANews.com, "It's supposed to, unless his coward ass backs down."
Check back at MMANews.com next Wednesday as Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will be the guest on our wrestling/mixed-martial arts radio show "WrestleZone Radio". For more information, head over to www.WrestleZoneRadio.com, or stay tuned to MMANews.com throughout the week!
