It is no secret that Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is one of the most colorful personalities in MMA today, and he has had plenty to say amidst the buildup for his title fight with Jon Jones at UFC 135.
The latest piece of news regarding this fight came about two weeks ago, when Jackson swore that Jon Jones had a spy in his camp and basically told the story to anyone who would listen.
After all that, Rampage seems to have changed his stance on “Bones” trying to get the inside scoop on him.
While speaking to Yahoo! Sports, the former UFC light heavyweight champion essentially told Jones that there is no way he can get inside his head prior to their September 24 showdown in the Octagon.
“I don’t want to talk about the whole ‘spy’ thing too much more. I am glad I found out, I’m glad I told people about it, and I think it’s not an honorable way to prepare for a fight, but if Jon Jones wants me to, I’ll have a camera installed here at the Muscle Pharm in Denver and he can watch me 24-7,” Jackson indicated.
Rampage then had some choice words to drive the point home.
“He can have a live feed on me. ‘Bones’ can watch me brush my teeth in the morning and see what toothpaste I used, who I am training with and how hard I am working, and he can see which hand I wipe my ass with for all I care,” Jackson replied.
From there, Jackson also mentioned that he should have no problem knocking out the young prodigy, due to his chin being untested and Rampage still having big power in his hands.
“It don’t matter because there’s no real secret to what I really want to do in this fight: punch him on his big ‘Bones’ head. Knock him out. Jon Jones has never been hit in his career.
“He could have the best chin in the history of the UFC, or he could have the worst in history. We don’t know because he has not got hit yet. But we will know at UFC 135 because he will get hit by me.”
Additionally, Jackson actually gave the youngest UFC champion in history a little credit for his long limbs, speed and takedown ability.
However, Rampage said none of those aspects of the fight will matter as far as he’s concerned.
“But I know I am going to have to work at hitting him. He’s got them ‘Go-go-Gadget’ long-ass arms and legs and he’s fast. He’s also going to look to take me down so I have to let my hands go.
“But I’ve been here in Denver, training at the Muscle Pharm Gym at altitude, living in the gym—for real I live here at the gym until after this fight—for seven damn weeks to be ready.”
We are just a little more than week out from UFC 135, where Rampage Jackson looks at another title run when he squares off against the reigning 205-pound champion, Jon “Bones” Jones.
