Quinton “Rampage” Jackson releases a statement after his loss to Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator Japan on Saturday.
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was looking to get through another legend in Fedor Emelianenko on Saturday night at Bellator Japan. Instead, he ended up being knocked out in the first round of their headliner fight.
The knockout apparently sparked some speculation that it may have been a fixed fight, which Jackson denied via an Instagram post. He also acknowledged that being overweight may have played a factor in his loss.
