Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson weighed in for his fight Fedor Emelianenko earlier today. The former UFC light heavyweight champion hit the scales at a whopping 265lbs, whilst ‘The Last Emperor’ came in at 240.5lbs. This is the heaviest ‘Rampage’ has ever weighed, despite coming in over 240lbs for his last four fights. This won’t come as a surprise to most MMA fans, as the coach of ‘Rampage’, Sam Calvita revealed this was all part of the plan. Speaking to MMA Junkie, he said. “My idea for someone in a weight class is to bring them in as big and strong as they can. We’re going to bring him basically around 260. He’s a big man. He’s come such a tremendously long way.”
The 41-year-old ‘Rampage is coming off a win over long-time foe Wanderlei Silva at Bellator 206. Jackson finished his opponent in the second round to pick up his first win since beating Satoshi Ishii in 2016. He has called his fight with Fedor a special moment in MMA history ahead of their clash in Japan.
The Russian is currently on his final contract with Bellator who plan to take the heavyweight legend on a retirement tour. Fedor has refused to commit to his retirement though. Speaking to MMA Fighting, he said. “That’s what we discussed, that’s what we agreed on, but let’s see how I feel. Right now, the plan is just like Scott laid out, there’s gonna be three fights and it’s kind of a retirement tour, but when the tour is over let’s see how I feel, we’ll go from there.”

The ongoing Fedor Emelianenko retirement tour being put on by Bellator might not be the last we see of Emelianenko after all.
Emelianenko is currently slated to face off against Rampage Jackson this weekend in Japan to kick off the so-called retirement tour. Back in June, the Russian legend signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator with the intention of closing out his career. Speaking to MMA Junkie, however, it sounds like Emelianenko is noncommittal on retirement.
“That’s what we discussed, and that’s what we agreed on, but let’s see how I feel,” Emelianenko said. “Right now, the plan is just like Scott laid out. There’s going to be three fights, and it’s kind of a retirement tour, but when the tour is over, he said let’s see how I feel. We’ll go from there.”
Emelianenko competed for more than half of his career in Japan. He realizes this weekend might very well be the last time he ever fights in front of a Japanese crowd. It’s for that reason he plans on putting on a show for them this weekend.
“I think I’ve already shown the fans everything there is for me to show them,” Emelianenko said. “This will be more like a farewell fight. I would like to entertain them. I want them to be happy watching me fight, and I would like to come back to Japan as a guest.”
