ufc 130

UFC 130 was this past holiday weekend and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson definitely dominated, but the main event left many fight fans wondering, “who did we just see?” Quinton is a nice guy, Quinton loves to have fun, Quinton hates training, but he puts the work in because come fight night Quinton becomes “Rampage”… There’s no doubt that he won the fight, but did he do enough to get the hardcore MMA fan or more importantly the casual fight fan pumped up to see him go out and challenge Jon Jones for the 205 lb. strap? The problem is that when you trot a potential title challenger out to fight an opponent that the current champion already dismantled thoroughly, like Jon Jones did with Matt Hamill a few fights back, if the challenger doesn’t at least come close to the same level of domination, it leaves the impression that the challenger and the champion aren’t on the same level.
