After 14 years, UFC legend Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson is finally going to tussle with ‘Titties.’

Four years removed from his last bout against heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko under the Bellator MMA banner, ‘Rampage’ will return to the cage for one more fight for the United Fight League this December. No official date has been revealed, but during an appearance on the JAXXON podcast, Jackson revealed that he would be facing Darrill Schoonover. Ultimate Fighter fans will affectionately remember Schoonover as ‘Titties,’ a nickname given to him by the former 205-pound champ.

“The promotor [of UFL] wanted me to fight. I was like, ‘Okay, I’ll come back and fight grudge matches only.’ So, I’m going to fight ‘Titties’ from The Ultimate Fighter. He just signed the contract yesterday or today for December,” Jackson said. ‘Yeah, I’ll be in shape. By that time, I’ll be 230, hopefully, and I’ll fight ‘Titties.’”

Rampage’ signed on as a coach for the 10th season of the long-running reality series in 2009, coaching opposite Rashad Evans. Jackson regularly bullied Schoonover by calling him ‘Titties’ throughout the season. Things reached a boiling point between the two when Jackson grabbed Schoonover’s chest, causing Schoonover to shove him.

‘Rampage’ Reveals How He Got ‘Titties’ to Sign on the Dotted Line

‘Rampage’ took the incident a little too personally and has held onto the grudge for more than a decade. 14 years later, the two will settle things inside the UFL cage. As for how Jackson managed to get Schoonover to sign on the dotted line, he said:

“The way I got ‘Titties to fight was, I told him: ‘Look, if you beat me, I will never call you ‘Titties’ again, and he was like okay, let’s do this.’…Titties is gonna lose.”

Jackson walked away from the sport in 2019 following an appearance at Bellator 237 in Saitama, Japan. He competed in 52 career fights in some of the world’s biggest combat sports organizations, including PRIDE and the UFC. During his 20-year run, ‘Rampage’ captured the UFC light heavyweight title and earned wins over some of the biggest names in the game, such as Chuck Liddell, Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua, Dan Henderson, Wanderlei Silva, and Lyoto Machida.

Following Bellator 120 Win, Quinton Jackson Calls Out…James Toney and ‘Titties’ Schoonover? [DAFUQ]

MMAMayhemRadio‘s Ashley Luther caught up with Quinton “Rampage” Jackson following his Bellator 120 decision win against King Mo, and first off, I just want to congratulate Rampage for making it through a two-minute segment with a female reporter without getting his hump on. (Although he did give us a new quote to add to his interview highlight reel: “I don’t beat ladies…I just beat it up.” Quinton, you classy son of a bitch.)

With Rampage’s next fight in Bellator uncertain, Luther asked him who he’d like to fight next. Jackson’s answer time-warped us back to the MMA glory days of 2009-2010:

Actually, to be honest, I want to fight somebody else that’s on my pissed-off list. I got two more guys. I got Titties, and I got James Toney. I want to fight one of those guys, honestly…I just want to beat up everybody who’s been pissing me off.”

“Titties” of course is Darrill Schoonover, the soft-spoken heavyweight who became a target of Rampage’s on TUF 10 simply because his body had developed earlier than the other boys. James Toney is the gibberish-speaking boxing champ who Randy Couture choked out at UFC 118, and who later called Rampage a “slave to the white man” who “got the Klu Klux Klan behind him.” I gotta be honest — I would happily pay money to see James Toney get humiliated in another MMA fight. And if any promotion is crazy/desperate enough to put it together on pay-per-view, it’s Bellator, right?

In a semi-related story, Rampage was fined $10,000 by the Mississippi Athletic Commission for shoving King Mo at the Bellator 120 weigh-ins. ‘Page responded to the fine by verbally freaking out at Mississippi Athletic Commission chairman Jon Lewis and was nearly removed from the card altogether.
