LAS VEGAS – Quinton “Rampage” Jackson says his dislike for Rashad Evans
didn’t slow him down at Saturday’s UFC 114 event in Las Vegas – but ring
rust did.
Jackson gave Evans respect for
besting him on points in their highly anticipated headliner, and he also admitted
that despite brushing off pre-fight questions about it, a long layoff did indeed hurt his performance.
“I’m really ashamed of myself that I fell victim to ring rust,” Jackson
said at the UFC 114 post-event press conference. “Emotions had nothing
to do with it.”
