Quinton “Rampage” Jackson Is Done Fighting

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

rampage-jackson-chainAccording to www.mmaweekly.com, Jackson is done fighting to become a full time actor. Jackson received criticism from Dana White about taking on the role of B.A. Baracus in a move remake of The-A-Team.
“I’m so mad at Rampage over this,” White railed. “Rampage is a guy we’ve obviously taken under our wing the last few years, really like him, and have done a lot of good things for him, and for him to do this to me, and pull out of UFC 107 and do this goofy A-Team movie, I’m not happy about it at all.”
I think that Jackson will soon realize that this acting deal isn’t going to work out, and he will be back fighting in the UFC very soon.

gspSt. Pierre told MMAWeekly.com his right abductor muscle had been aggravated eight months prior to the fight with Thiago Alves and he hadn’t let it heal properly.
GSP is focused on healing completely before fighting again. He is currently training lightly, expecting to move to full contact in October. He is on a new diet that he hopes will build him some more quality muscle. GSP also admitted to never dieting, and going to his favorite spot for junk food, McDonalds.
“When I go there, I get three or four cheeseburgers, one french fries to replace Poutine, and a McCroquette chicken nuggets and a Coca Cola,” he said. “I love it.”

Nate Diaz Submits Melvin Guillard

guillard_vs_diazNate Diaz is one of my favorite fighters, so I was happy to see Diaz pull off a win against Melvin Guillard. From the start of the fight, Melvin Guillard was going for the knockout. Diaz started the second round strong by hitting Guillard with a good jab, then ended it with a guillotine choke.
Diaz, coming off back to back losses, really needed this fight.
