UFC Quick Quote: Jon Jones vs Rampage Jackson fight for a belt no one has ever worn before

"As a warrior I think it's dangerous to become obsessed with accolades and belts and rank and stature. I think it's more about the day-to-day lifestyle of being a warrior. I don't think there's really, when it comes to fighting, there's really no destination; it's really about the journey. If I had my choice, I probably wouldn't even touch the belt before the fight and I probably won't touch the belt before the fight. It's something that's in my past already. I beat Shogun and that has absolutely nothing to do with beating Rampage Jackson. I kind of feel as if there is no champion in this fight. It's two guys looking to win a belt that no one has ever worn before and I'm destined to bring that belt home."
-- Mauricio Rua beat Quinton Jackson and Jon Jones beat Mauricio Rua therefore Jon Jones will beat Quinton Jackson, right? Wrong. Jones, who will defend his light heavyweight championship against Jackson at UFC 135 on Sept. 24 in Denver, doesn't believe in MMA math and is pushing the memory of his title winning performance against "Shogun" out of his mind. In fact, he's going the full nine yards in that regard in saying (via UFC.com) he won't even touch the belt he won back at UFC 128 in New Jersey. That would take away from the weight of his upcoming showdown against one of the top 205-pound fighters in the world, so he's keeping a Bill Belicheck-esque attitude -- every fight is the most important fight, every game is the Super Bowl. But will "Bones'" warrior mentality matter come fight night at the Pepsi Center in Colorado?

Gonna b a sick fight can’t wait for this 1. As we get closer I keep thinking more and more rampage has a chance at this but idk Jones has so many more tools and that always mentioned reach. Sanchez Hughes should b sick too. Sanchez by dec and Jones by tko 2nd or 3rd rnd

Whens the last time jackson lost via (t)ko? Machida staggered him for only a second and jones doesn’t have the one punch power like jackson evans rua machida

accumulation of punches though can overwhelm anyone no matter how good the chin
My boy rampage has the best chin in MMA, yeh i said it but if jones catches him and pours it on him he may not be out but the ref will step in if he just covers up

Anderson has the best chin in MMA
…ye I said it
Fedor "The Can Crusher" Emeilianko IS NOT THE BEST HW EVER , in fact he sucks! he has the most padded record in the history of any combat sport, scratch that in the history of any sport. He has not changed as a fighter , he is still just as good as he was then, only difference is he isn’t fighting freaks and nobodies, I , along with many others have been duped into believing he is great, when clearly he is NOT! -I hate you the Dragon...one day
Does anyone know when Thiago Silva is eligible to fight again? I kind of miss that guy........
Its a close one i still go with rampage :P

cote has the best chin in mma
Andy’s never taken a clean punch in the ufc. silva avoided yushin’s left avoided vitor’s “top of the head” punches chael will never ko anyone ever with his wrestler punches avoided irvin’s punches cote’s right avoided marquardt’s right hendo’s h-bomb franklin leben … sonnen maia lutter are the only people anderson let punch him
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 4:32 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Wow...he let all sorts of people hit him...he let Rivera hit him...he let Yushin hit him in Brazil
…Belfort did hit Silva (go check out the replay)…he let Franklin hit him…if those other dudes didn’t get a chance to hit him, it’s not because Silva was afraid, it’s because they weren’t good enough to even touch him

Last time I check.
He let Rivera hit him as hard as he could cleanly and it did nothing.
"Sakuraba beats Silva majority of the time IMO" - "striker" David Emerson
i define a clean punch in my own terms
You have yours. And i didn’t even imply he was afraid. Its not smart to take punches and silva but if he doesnt respect your stand up he doesnt mind taking a few punches. More to the point his chin doesn’t compare to cote’s or anyone else who has eaten clean brain rocking punches. Anderson has never ever been hit with a killer bomb don’t perp. The most i’ve seen him hit was in sparring or versus grapplers.
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 7:53 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
anyone can be finished
And rampage has been stopped several times in different ways … just not recently. In 06 he hit his stride and since coming to the ufc jackson has fought the best fights of his career. Rampage can go 5 rounds what makes you think jones is gonna overwhelm him and “pour” it on? Jones may or may not be able to throw rampage around and wear him down but rampage can for sure KO jones with one punch left or right

If you read what I said again... I said if he catches him and hurts him...

catches him with what?
Jones throws a right cross a lead body hook superman jab turning side kick spinning back elbow and the occasional side kick or lead head kick … while he does use twice the amount of strikes as lets say jackson evans rua machida he does not have one punch power like they all do. Jones doesn’t “catch” anybody.
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 3:54 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
he could catch him with anything haha
ok he could HIT HIM then with anything just like he did to shogun

jones vs rua
Rua’s performance against jones is not directly indicative of jackson’s. Rampage is an entirely different fighter
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 4:01 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
correct - he is worse
When in doubt, shoot one out.

Maaaaaan Evans caught Chuck with a wild looping hook and now we consider him to have 1 punch KO power....aint that about a bitch!
…..I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Machida 1 punch KO anyone (well, I guess if you count him falling on Thiago’s face)….When did Shogun 1 punch KO someone? I definitely remember seeing Rampage 1 punch KO a couple folks….hmmmm….really makes you think………

evans jackson machida rua
Are all one single strike away from putting anyone on queer street. Evans right hand and right leg have KO power Rua’s overhand right and leaping lead hook will put anyone down machida’s dropping missile punch vs thiago or straight left vs evans or crane kick vs couture place anyone on the canvas

Well, if I go by what you're saying...
….assuming we are in fact not talking about punches (or conventional punches)…..I am confident when I say that Bones can probably finish anyone with 1 elbow…is that fair?

actually you make a good point
His elbows dropped bonnar (back of the head) wobbled o’brien (top of the head) stopped matyushenko and vera … so yea i guess jones’ elbows can end a fight

Plus jones vs hamill fight … shit jackson better watch out for them bones yeesh

Everyone has one punch ko power.
If they land it right. It’s such basic knowledge of MMA to know that there isn’t one person who can’t Ko someone.
"Sakuraba beats Silva majority of the time IMO" - "striker" David Emerson
"everyone has ko power"
Anything can happen in a fight but even with 4oz gloves “landing it right” isn’t going to occur even once in every fighter’s career. Some people have it some people don’t whether you count flukes or not KO’s are a special thing to have and not as common as you pretend. You should train sherk sonnen fitch because they need your naive support
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 8:05 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
You sure talk as if you're above me Mr. Quotes.
Fitch has dropped guys before, you must be uneducated as shit to think those guys can’t Ko people. They can, but they won’t because those chances are small, but it can still happen.
"Sakuraba beats Silva majority of the time IMO" - "striker" David Emerson
you talk as if you're above me pal
Your last comment you said “anyone who knows anything” and now you say i’m “uneducated as shit” I dont agree with you or think like you do and i hope you can accept that. And sure fitch could KO or sub anybody anyday thats why i said anything can happen. And your username is stupid by the way
by talkfight on Sep 4, 2011 8:52 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Too bad you're dumb as shit.
Talkfight is pretty stupid as well considering you can’t do so, I will have a conversation with a educated fan elsewhere, see ya “Pal”.

yehh guyver tell me about it
its why i gave up the debate further up about Jones being able to tko rampage

While that may be true,
Jones counter is fantastic, and when Jones hits people he doesn’t stagger them, its the following punches that screw them up lol
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
fuck jones
and fuck belichick

Well when Jones keeps on talking out of his ass like he’s the Yoda of MMA at 24 years old, he’s pretty much asking for some hate-facials.
Meh....every fighter does something unique to get themselves mentally prepared for a fight...
…if dude wants to be the Zen master Phil Jackson, then go ahead….it certainly is working for him….maybe some of these other fighters should consider following suit

Rampage will be at his best for this fight.
I cant wait to see him compete after actually taking training and preparing seriously.
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Yeah especially when he said he just fights for the $$$
Lol The fact is that you can say whatever you want about Jones but he always comes to the fight motivated. Plain and simple. Page has a history of being lackluster about preparations.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
pay attention to how he is preparing now,dont be stuck in the past.....every fighter fights for money
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Yeah and PAge has been known to come unprepared....
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Rampage has a history of reporters saying his preparations are lackluster.....
…how much of it is really true? Who knows!

Idk I mean just look at his recent performances I guess...
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
recent performances were 2 victories
including the one over machida when everyone said he had no chance
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Im not a page hater
But that could have gone either way. All I’m saying
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
It wasn't suppose to be close enough to go either way
the unprepared lazy rampage was suppose to be dominated by the karate master who eats sleeps and breathes mma
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Okay so im not trying to use mmamath. Im not comparing wins or anything.
Im comparing performances. Shogun dismantled Machida then Jones dismantled Shogun. Seriously we will see. I would love for Page to come in 100% and make this a fight. I just think Jones is always learning and he has a ten inch reach advantage lol
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Okay you're not trying to use mma math and then you use mma math...interesting
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Haha but I'm not saying he is going to beat him
Im simply saying based on performances. I want Page to come to fight for him not his cash
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Jones is fighting for free?
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
No but he isn't fighting to earn a payday.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
what is he fighting for?
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Well Im not sure if you know
what it is like to do something not for the money. Im not sure if you were raised by like that. But people don’t start MMA for money. They do it because its what they love, and once that compassion is gone. You are going to start racking up losses and not being able to compete with top of the line fighters.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
fighting is there job...they fight for money
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
But for some guys its a bonus to get money
because its what they love to do plain and simple. You don’t sacrifice something you do for years and years for money.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
you can try to spin it however you want..you dont know whats in these fighters minds/heart
But we do know they get paid
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
But thats exactly what I'm trying to say
how do we know that Page just wants a quick buck and if he loses retire? Is heart wouldn’t be in it. Id rather see him 100% there to be honest.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
His actions tell me what I need to know.
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
And his actions told me last fight
that he could have demolished Lyoto. He didn’t even think he won himself! Page could still be Pride Page if he trains focused on winning not money
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
pride rampage? he lost 5 times in pride
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
You can't tell me that if theres anything
thats going to be remembered about Pages’ career its his Silva rivalry. Most of those fights were wars. He went 10-5. One of those was a DQ. If you really want me to say after Hendo then fine! But who would have lost Quinton Rampage Jackson, the most dangerous man with his hands and those hooks would go to 4 straight decisions in his last 4 fights and not look #1 contender worthy
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
4 straight decision against...
rashad who wrestled machida who ran hamill who refuse to engage and jardine who took a beating
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Rashad who wrestled?
Takedown defense? Machida who ran? Endurance? Hamill who refused to engage? ENGAGE! Its not that hard. These guys don’t go in not knowing their opponents
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
3-1
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
I understand hes 3-1 in those four fights?
Im just saying. Hamill didn’t wanna engage. Make him. Corner him. Be the Rampage you used to be.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
machida ran hamill ran...I bet jones wont...and guess what's likely to happen?
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Indulge me, Whats gonna happen.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Whats gonna happen? Im not a psychic, but I do know fighting
Unless jones changes his strategy/style for this fight he will play right into rampages hands(no pun intended) If jones comes to fight like rampages last 4 opponents he’ll be good.
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
You aren't a psychic...but you
asked me guess whats likely to happen…Anyway. I think if JBJ does something that is unexpected and takes Page down he can beat the crap out of him with the reach advantage.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
This will be a learning experience for jones and his fans
"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
You gotta understand though.
I am not a Jones fan lol Id rather have Page win no doubt. I just don’t think its gonna happen thats all.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
If your name is BJ Penn sure....
…..it costs money to be a fighter…..training, traveling, etc. It’s an investment, and with every investment you except a return

but he doesn’t want money for that stuff. He doesn’t seem interested in being a fighter at all.

Speak for yourself
These guys are artists, it’s not all about the money. You’d be real stupid to go into this sport for the money when 80% of the fighters are on a terrible wage. There’s very little money in this sport. Why don’t you believe a fighter when he says he isn’t in this for money?

Of course
Everyone needs money to get by, if you can make money along the way that’s great for you. That doesn’t mean his main motivation is money kid.
I’m Jones could’ve gone to uni and for himself a nice job. He’s doing what he loves and making money, Rampage is making money.

Shogun never "dismantled" Machida.
1st fight Machida won by decision. If he was dismantled, it should have not been close enough to be a win for Machida.
2nd fight Shogun caught Machida. It can happen to anyone, it could have just as likely happened to Shogun in that fight.
He almost killed him, he dismantled him. Accept it, karate doesn’t work.

Warfare: conflict, especially when vicious and unrelenting, between competitors, political rivals, etc.

Wait there is more……
Warfare: War is a state of organized, armed and often prolonged conflict carried on between states, nations, or other parties typified by extreme aggression, social disruption, and usually high mortality…..
Well let’s see, cage fighting is organized, the combatants are armed (a fighter’s hands and feet are legally registered weapons)….is cage fighting prolonged? Yes (they fight either until one man cannot continue or the allotted time has run out)…..do cage fighters use extreme aggression? Hells yeah, especially Bones……..when you add all the factors, carry the 1, and subtract the hatred it all equals JONES IS A WARRIOR! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Shogun that Jones Beat Does NOT equal the Shogun that beat Rampage
Throw that MMA Math out the window!
Put the interview on mute and ask yourself.....If head butts were legal would Tito still be the champ?
Chuck's chin is long gone....he is now obviously helping his nose catch up.
Wow
That made no sense…it isn’t about the belt, guys, and it isn’t about the destination; it’s about the journey, but Jones is destined to bring the brand new belt home.
All you Rampage fans out there need to watch his fight with Rua, Evans and Forret again.
He has nothing for Jones. He can’t fight with long powerful muay thai fighters and he can’t fight with elite explosive wrestlers. Jones has all that and more, Rampage you might aswell retire. You will never beat Rua, Evans, Forrest or Jones, and we know machida schooled your ass.

What the fuck does Jardine (who didn’t beat Rampage to a pulp, by the way) have to do with Rampage beating an overrated Griffin.
Rampage didn’t beat Griffin what are you talking about kid? Jardine beat Rampage to a pulp and you know it. Both Rua brothers beat Rampage down, he’s nothing.
We all know Jardine and Machida wrecked Rampage.
by danago on Sep 4, 2011 3:48 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Okay dude, you seem to have a problems…i’m not talking about anyone but Rampage vs. Forrest Griffin if they fought each other again. Forrest has zero tools to beat Rampage again. Leg kicks aren’t going to take him by surprise in two separate fights, and Forrest would not be able to survive Rampage’s striking at this point in his career after having been knocked out three times since then. Forrest is as slow as a glacier, he has soft hands, and he can’t take a shot; Rampage would do what Shogun did to Forrest in their rematch.
Jardine already beat Rampage though, so did Machida and Forrest so what are you talking about? Rampage is nothing but a can, end of.

I agree with dan
Page is a can and that can will have a lid put on it permanently after the Jones fight. I’m a fan of Jones the fighter, not the person. Just because Jones doesn’t know when to shut up doesn’t make him a terrible fighter. Respect the skills, not the man.
When in doubt, shoot one out.

"Light from the sun continues to shine in my world,all darkness has passed.Even when the sunsets there's a constant spotlight on me"-letter19
Hahah good point.
He just likes to here himself talk and say all this"good boy" shit. That’s why i like fighters like Rampage and Sonnen who speak their minds.
‘Knee injuries are real and not excuses. I will never doubt Mauricio Shogun Rua’s record or ability again.’
And the words of wisdom contradict his other statements
At the press conference he said he wants to win and take all of rampage accolades. He is so obsessed with the belt he won’t sign a plastic replica because a kid didn’t earn it. He says rampage fight has nothing to do with shogun fight yet in every interview he is mentioning beating shogun.

Rampage
doesn’t stand a chance, he’s gonna get the same treatment as shogun imo
Doesn't stand a chance eh?
No…you and I don’t stand a chance against Jones…but Rampage, a professional fighter with 40 fights worth of experience, very much so stands a chance………….now you take that statement back!

I'm a big fan of Jones the fighter. I just wish he'd talk less.
But it’s hard to call him a warrior yet when we haven’t seen him come back/fight thru adversity. Nog is a warrior. Silva coming back after 4.5 rds shows the heart of a warrior. I would love for Rampage to try and put him on his back. But we all know (assume?) he’s just gonna plant his feet, not check or throw kicks and swing dem bungalows..

Id like him to prove me wrong
Its just the way i see the fight going.
I believe that rampage may very well end up being to Jon jones , what chael was to Anderson

JBJ is the ultimate Douche... Bag...
I don't know how Anderson Silva can even walk around right now with all the nuthuggers out there. Can't wait til Chael fucks him up in their next fight. Hopefully he goes over and slaps ed "open mouth" soares afterwards as well.
technically..
it’s not the belt that he won from shogun. a brand new belt is awarded at every title fight. that’s how champions can end up with a collection of belts. the one they wear to the ring is a new belt.
Bones is the man.
He talks the talk and walks the walk. Rampage will be his biggest test to date but i think he can do it! Will always love Rampy too but i fear for his saftey in this one….
