I just met one of my top 2 favorate fighters of all time!
Quinton Rampage Jackson...
He was filming promo footage for the WFA...
I asked him when his first fight was, and he said it's in the UFC against Chuck @ UFC 61!!!
I told him I saw all over the internet that he signed with WFA... he said that the plan was to do a 1 fight deal with the UFC to beat Chuck, and then move over to the WFA.
He said he needs to be the Champion when he goes to the WFA...not a Chumpion.
I didn't beleive him at first but he was serious about it.
Is this old news?
If you can imagine, I was rather excited to meet him...
So let me get this straight....not only is the UFC going to sign someone for a title fight and only give them a 1 fight deal, thus leaving them open to leave the company with their belt--but they are also going to have Rampage rematch Chuck on the same card as Ortiz vs. Shamrock and Arlovski vs. Sylvia 3?
BWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why would anyone believe this even for a split second?
I met him at a WFA promo shoot today in an industrial area in LA [big warehouse where the shoot was]. I met Bass too, breifly on my way out of there.
The background in that picture with myself and him... that is the background you will see in some WFA promo video... they filmed him shadow boxing in front of that wall for like 5 minutes.
About the UFC 61 stuff...
I seriously wasn't beleiving him and was calling him on it thinking he's trying to throw me off, but he seemed sincere, and wouldn't back down... started to get other guys there from the WFA to back up what he said.
He totally could have been trying to throw me off though.
And yes, the "Champion.. not chumpion" was frickin hilarious. He was REALLY REALLY nice to me... great guy.. funny as F**k.
who knows though... maybe he was just trying to throw me off?
