Should Quinton Jackson lose to Matt Hamill, don’t expect to see him back in the Octagon any time soon.
Throughout the build up to the event, “Rampage” Jackson has expressed a certain amount of disinterest about his fight against Matt Hamill. He has gone as far to say nothing gets him excited, and that he had other opponents in mind before Hamill.
Rampage has been very public as of late about how he is just hanging around the mixed martial arts scene until Hollywood comes knocking at his front door.
Can you really blame him for that? If you had the choice between getting punched in the face for a lot of money, or acting the fool in front of a camera for a whole lot of money, which one would you choose?
Jackson has been around the game for a long time. His bouts against Wanderlei Silva, Chuck Liddell, Shogun Rua, Sakuraba, and Ricardo Arona will be forever embedded in the minds of mixed martial arts fans.
After all the wars in the ring and Octagon, one could believe that Rampage may be getting a little “burned out” with the fight game. With the success of the A-Team, it must only be a matter of time before Jackson is offered another movie roll.
Should he leave Las Vegas Saturday night with an additional loss on his record, expect Rampage to wait for that call from Hollywood.
That call may take a little time to come, but Jackson has plenty of money. He can wait.
