Get ready for a true MMA champion! UNLEASHED is proud to welcome Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) pioneer Quinton “Rampage” Jackson from Memphis, Tennessee. The 44-year-old looks back at career milestones in his interview The Dingo and Danny, from taking “cage fighting” into the mainstream and earning championship belts in Pride FC and UFC divisions.

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was pushed into fighting at an early age growing up in Memphis. He found an escape by honing his skills as a classically trained wrestler, until he discovered a new concept– “mixed” martial arts fighting, a fierce blend of combat sports still in its infancy at the time. The rest is history: Jackson built a career in the early days of “cage fighting” and found success on Japan’s Pride FC circuit, ultimately claiming the Middleweight Championship built. Back in the U.S. he joined the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in 2007 and reigned as the UFC Light Heavyweight champ after a legendary knockout against MMA icon Chuck Lidell. Outside the Octagon, Rampage continues to shine as a Hollywood actor and ambassador for the sport he pioneered.
