MMANEWS.COM Staff Writer The MMA world knew something was amiss on February 26th. “Rampage” was tapped as the co-headliner of UFC 144. Set to meet the fan favorite was fringe contender Ryan Bader, who very few believed could outhustle Jackson… or survive those brutal hooks for that matter. Fifteen minutes after the initial bell sounded and Bader had walked away with an obvious and relatively easy decision victory. The Japanese crows was mystified… hell, we were all mystified. But there were some early indications that Rampage wasn’t quite himself. He showed up to the pre-fight weighs and tipped the scales at 211 pounds. Testosterone Replacement Therapy would later factor into the equation. Last night, the story took an even stranger turn, as Jackson hit his personal Twitter page to announce that he won’t be fighting for the UFC once he’s fulfilled the last fight of his contract. “I will fight who ever they put n front of me,I always have, but it will b my last fight n the ufc, I have other things on my mind,” wrote Jackson, who elaborating, ensuring that his career as a fighter isn’t over. “I didn't say I would b done fighting, I just said I'm not fighting 4 the UFC,(u fight cheap)I said I have other things on my mind (big head).” The extent of “Rampage’s” issues remains a mystery, although this isn’t the first time Quinton has lost his wits following a loss. Some may remember the Rampage Ride from Hell following his title loss to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86. Leave your feedback on this article by posting a comment directly below!
