Rampage gets an automatic click from me. Don’t have many fighters these days like him. I’d love to see more videos like this about mid-2000s Zuffa era stars.
@@dcsstephens410lol casuals. That’s why why google knowledge doesn’t do these things justice. Jon Jones rise is highly praised BECAUSE the 205 was considered untamable where the championship kept changing hands until he came to clean house.
The UFC doesn't want you to remember how the Japanese circuit fighters ran through the UFC in the late 2000s. Most of Jones's early defenses were against those guys.
Why does everything have to be some conspiracy with you? People nowadays the UFC is a brand that is. Collecting the best fighters from all over the world. Where do you think they come from all? There are fight promotions all over the place that these fighters cut their teeth in and rise up to face.The best the u f c did the job of making a place for them to come to people like you are just stupid idiots that ruin the sport for people that actually can think
When the Pride guys came over they kicked the crap outta the UFC guys. Rampage, Dan Henderson, Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida, Shogun, Wanderlei. It really changed things up and it was awesome. I remember watching all that happen.
Anderson Silva was fighting for Cage Rage right before he came to rhe ufc. He had been there for a while by the time all the Pride guys came over. Lyoto Machida never once fought for Pride FC.
Machida didn't fight in Pride, but rather fought in MMA-themed K-1 events and one Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye in Japan, which happened to host notable fighters from Pride (among other things).
Dude I remember walking down to Blockbuster with my older brother in the mid 90s and renting the old school UFCs, back when they were in the "hardcore" section of the video store lol you remember that? Fell in love with mma then and loved it ever since. Early 2000s my brother would get Pride DVDs and it was just crazy to see how huge mma was over in Japan at the time. They were regularly getting 50,000+ houses for Pride events.
man i’m 33 im too damn old lol single digit events were so lit 😂 most these people in the comments weren’t even born yet when we were in our prime ‘fan-ness’ 😂😂😂
I was in the crowd when he shut down Henderson. Wasn't one of his more famous wins, but I thought it was incredibly impressive how he handled Dan's wrestling and nullified his stand up for 25 minutes.
I was at UFC 71.. gotta say the atmosphere was wild.. made money on Rampage Alexander and Starnes that Night.. man the UFC used to treat traveling fans really good.. the All Access Pass was epic
it started in pro wrestling ... they always took the guys out and "sponsored" them .... if it made money , they wanted a piece ... and like wrestling , many say PRIDE was often predetermined
Rampage was actually the more experienced fighter when he faced Chuck, and had already fought a murderers row in Pride and in dabbled in K1 as well. When they fought the first time Chuck was the UFC Champ, with a 13-3 record, while Rampage was 19-3 having already beaten UFC Champs like Kevin Randleman and Murillo Bustamante, and the legendary Igor Vovchanchyn.
I’m so old I watched Rampage v Chuck live. It was unthinkable at the time that Chuck would go the distance with anyone, even more laughable that he’d lose. Even to Rampage. I was one of the millions left speechless when Chuck hit the canvass… Great times! 👍🏻
@@Bruce4lmighty Chuck had the US fans behind him, he had a decent showing showing though, he just fell short every time he faced Rampage, which isn't a bad thing, Rampage was a beast, beat Dan Henderson too.
Rampage, Chuck, Randy, etc were the big names when I was a youngin just catching whispers of the sport. As an adult and a full fledged fan now, it's nice seeing the stories behind these guys. Absolutely love the "documentary" style videos, keep it up 👌🤘
I think age and fight mileage is a major factor in Chuck's downfall, he wasn't that young when he got into the UFC, and with his aggressive, striking focused style, he took a lot of punishment. I'm not trying to take anything away from Rampage, I just think the same or similar would have happened to Chuck if he had never fought Rampage once.
That and the fact he wasn’t fighting very good guys in the UFC. His beginning and end of his run are book ended by Rampage dominating him. Chucks actual downfall as far as never being the same guy again was when Rashad Evans took his chin away from him.
Chuck was 13-3 (and UFC Champion)when he faced Rampage, who was 19-3 and faced much tougher competition at 205 than what the UFC could offer. The UFC was basically Bellator back then. Chuck just wasn't going to beat Rampage. He's his kryptonite
Rampage was actually the more experienced fighter when he faced Chuck, and had already fought a murderers row in Pride and in dabbled in K1 as well. When they fought the first time Chuck was the UFC Champ, with a 13-3 record, while Rampage was 19-3 having already beaten UFC Champs like Kevin Randleman and Murillo Bustamante, and the legendary Igor Vovchanchyn.
What you're missing here is that Pride was waaaaaaaay ahead of UFC at that time in terms of skill. Rampage was a much better fighter than Chuck as were most top Pride Middleweights (no LHW in Pride).
Pride LHWs and HW were just on a different level compared to their counterparts in the UFC at the time (2003-2007) Though a lot of them got burnt out due to injuries post-Pride (Shogun, Wanderlei Silva, Big Nog, Cro Cop etc.)
The UFC HW divsion in the early 2000s was doo doo. The top 2 guys were Tim Sylvia and Andrei Arlovski, the 3rd guy i guess you can say was Frank Mir prior to his accident. Fedor Emelianenko ended up Knocking out both Sylvia and Arlovski while in Affliction. Just imagine what he would of have done to them if he would of have been in the UFC at that time. Dude would of have literally destroyed the whole UFC HW division.
The Intro made me think about what got me into watching MMA and I honestly have to say that it wasn't any fighter at all but your videos! So thank you MMA on Point team, you made me a UFC fan and my life better with it!
I remember watching Rampage vs. Chuck in Pride (in rebroadcast, here in the US) and being shocked at how Rampage just HANDLED Chuck - I was rooting for Chuck, but I became a huge fan of Quinton after that. Great work - MMA is so new and IP rights are so guarded and contentious that younger fans, through no fault of their own, have almost nowhere to learn about its history. Just a fantastic job telling the (really just one of many) story of one of the sport's greatest figures.
I feel privileged to have witnessed the Rampage era, his beef with Rashad Evans on TUF, his feud with Liddell, man it was a good time to be an MMA fan! Sadly, i dont think we will ever see another era like that. Now we have the awful Apex Center, and the LHW and HW divisions are a mess of interim champs and delayed "super fights" 🙄 The UFC sure has fallen from it's glory days, and as fans we can only hope that things turn around for the better.
This is by far one of the best videos you guys have produced. The storytelling, the reminiscence of Pride Rampage era, it was just incredible. I mean it, you guys did an outstanding job with this video. Pride never dies 👊🏼
In my opinion Rampage beating Chuck is the single reason why Dana & UFC has never will never fight another promotion. They never made another attempt nor have they even talked about it after Chuck loss & Dana was saying before that UFC fighter could and would beat any fighter from any promotion
Plus, UFC is now the biggest promotion in the world. Back in 2003 they had nothing to lose. Now if they accept such a fight, they can easily give his competitors spotlight if the UFC guy loses, and people already see UFC belts as proof of being the best in the world, so literally nothing to win and everything to lose.
This was great boys. Shout out Luke the soundtrack selection and overall audio mixing was noticeably good. Really felt a vital part of the story. I bet you the performance on these will only get even better as ppl understand what they actually are should you keep doing them. Subjective, n of 1, but your editors and writers shine in conjunction when nuanced stories are told. Eg I was a pride and dream fan first and never actually connected the timelines of Chuck beating Randy with vandy’s beatdown of rampage. Contexualized a lot more disconnected history for me. Here’s to hoping for more of these 🍻
Man. When Pride guys started coming over to the state's, I was such an excited little MMA nerd. 😆 Cro Cop was my most excited......and then he got Cro Cop'd 😆
Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Repent and believe in him or you will be separated from God The Father for all eternity and face hell forever, for all eternity, never ending.
I once sparred Rampage in my competetive days, i think it was for the Evans fight and at the time he was doing the A team movie.. he was clearly under a TON of pressure. Ive been round loads of good fighters and never seen anyone who wanted to be there less. It was also the weirdest spar I ever took part in wih him dropping his hamds and walking off when I wouldn't just go toe to toe with him. Hed stop feign injury then rush me. In the end he did this and caught me with a body shot which dropped me... and I was super happy just to get it over with! I learned 170 dudes should avoid sparring angry 240lb former world champs... . 😅
Jackson helped build the sport as we know it. Those were fun days for MMA rather than laying on top and doing nothing for 5 minutes we have come to expect
Such a great video. I hadn’t really heard any of these stories about his background. Definitely dating himself talking about assaulting a guy with a pay phone 😂😂
The Iceman is still the coolest nickname ever (no pun intended) he stood up to the name knocking people out cold with one punch, then later getting frozen himself but yeah
Is someone who has been an mma fan for over 20 years now, it had less to do with Liddell and more to do with Bonnar vs Griffin that made the UFC mainstream... don't forget it!!
Danas greedy fucking ass should give both 10 million Dana has an 500m net worth but Net Worths are 90% sooo wrong and wayyy less Conors is 200m according to them even though Conor sold most of his Proper 12 stakes for over 600 million like 1.5 years ago lmao they are always super far off especially with these kind of guys they all have so much fkn more money than the stupid net worth google shit says lmaoo
Rampage, Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, only a few of the incredible fighters that got me into this sport originally and i still love this sport until today.
I feel like this also opened the era of short title reigns. The competition level just got so high that only talent or training would take you so far. You have to literally work so hard and be gifted to stay on the top.
I’m 29! My first mma memories are bodog when I was super young and the first vivid ones are shogun early in the UFC and Forrest griffin! And I remember my first time watching a ppv live was jones dismantling shogun while I sat at a table in a hooters with my late dad!! I was a huge rampage fan too.
I'll be 29 September 5th so I feel ya bec I started watching UFC and getting into it around 2006 remember the ultimate fighter episodes between rampage and Rashad Evans before there ppv fight and Rashad I hated him at the time bec rampage was my fav UFC fighter then till Jones started coming up in the UFC now it's Goat Jones whose my fav...💪🏼from then till now but yeah remember the fight between rampage and the door iykyk..😅🤣🤦🏽♂️and i was on my feet when he knocked out wanderlei i was like let's go!! Howling with him like he did Everytime he won#goodtimes
Rampage Jackson got me into MMA when I was in 5th grade (2009-10), I remember watching him at my friends families house because they were having a party and little did I know it was a UFC watch party. He won and kicked ass, that next week my friend took me to Ben Rothwell's old gym in Kenosha just called gracies that he shared with someone, then he took all his equipment one week and was gone and started his own gym just down and across the street. But I switched to Duke Roufus gym in Milwaukee and met Anthony Pettis and lots of other future fighters, got sick and wasnt able to do it anymore and am still sick but I had a lot of fun over those years.
Rampage has 1 of those personalities you cannot help but respect. In a profession that has absolute monsters wanting to crush your skull, he's get'n cheeky with pretty ladies, jokes everywhere, & has his shit together outside of the Octagon. That TUF series he was on was a trip!
A bonafide legend. Pride FC: Final Conflict 2003, was the 1st MMA event I saw. Rampage and Wanderlei will forever be 2 of my favourite fighters of all time. Thanks for the video. 🙂👍♥️
That powerbomb shook the world, I was 17 when he did that, he made me love MMA, love Rampage after, he made me a fan with that knockout!! Awesome video big dog love it!!!
Rampage was the man, when he came into the UFC & knocked out Liddell, we knew him & his name carried big weight. He wasnt just some nobody if you followed MMA. It was a great time in MMA & we did not know the instant classics we were watching every PPV, but my god what a great time to be a fan it was.
Rampage and Chuck were my intro to MMA, and back then, I was young, so I was unaware of the politics and the bigger picture. I heard some of these stories over the years but the presentation on this is amazing. Keep telling these types of stories.
Chuck, Rampage, and Tito had a unique look even down to their fighter trunks. The flames of Tito, the Ice shorts of Chuck and the Rampage camo shorts very Iconic
Would’ve liked to hear about his dark past when he got arrested and how he overcame that era. Also his rivalry against Jones was epic, and how he became Mr. T Rampage is a living legend of the sport 😎
with rampage on the thumbnail, I didn’t think about it but iceman Chuck Liddell is the goat. I remember hearing about him as a kid and then I started watching UFC and loving the sport.🤩
Liddell and Jackson are like a couple of characters straight out of Street Fighter 2. Two warriors who fight, maybe each other or maybe not, traveling the world and getting into wild shenanigans of all kinds. Being at an event where they do fight against one another is one I'd always suggest observing from a distance. Even if in possession of octagon-side tickets it would behoove one to sacrifice those because once they start throwing hands the resulting shockwaves will most certainly void the warranties of any electronic device on your person.
Quentin Jackson will ALWAYS be my favorite fighter. I was there when he ko'd the axe murderer. Biggest pop ive ever heard.

if u mean 7:58 that had me spitting food with laughter , chuck always had the most genuine instant reactions
I believe it when Rampage says he met with the yakuza, simply because he pronounced "yakuza" reasonably correctly.
Any Japanese poon hound can pronounce yakuza correctly.
There was so much corruption in Pride that there's basically no reason to doubt this claim.

Such a great video. I hadn’t really heard any of these stories about his background. Definitely dating himself talking about assaulting a guy with a pay phone 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MMAOnPoint oh I enjoy all your guys stuff. Thank you for such great MMA content
What a great story! Rampage definitely has one of the more underappreciated life stories as far as his Life to MMA career trajectory.
I found mma from limewire 😂😂 if you know you know 😂😂
I “don’t” know.
@@MMAOnPoint - ME NEITHER
Appreciate you guys given Rampage his Flowers. The man is around and beloved to this day.
Rampage was a star tho
UFC Normies had no clue who he was
As someone who personally relates heavily with the underdog, learning more about Rampage Jackson was inspiring. ❤ thanks for the video!
I met Rampage. Dude is a legend. Nice man too.
Rampage and Derrick Lewis are so genuine you gotta love them.
They crack you up on interviews, And mess you up in fights. Big fan
brilliant video more like this please
The Iceman is still the coolest nickname ever (no pun intended) he stood up to the name knocking people out cold with one punch, then later getting frozen himself but yeah
Haven’t started the video yet but i think this is about him killing chuck
Rampage is an absolute legend. Glad hes doing good with the jaxxon podcast
Is someone who has been an mma fan for over 20 years now, it had less to do with Liddell and more to do with Bonnar vs Griffin that made the UFC mainstream... don't forget it!!
Yeah, absolutely.
I think every real MMA fan knows the fight and that it literally saved the UFC and Dana saying how crazily the viewer numbers went up during the fight
Danas greedy fucking ass should give both 10 million Dana has an 500m net worth but Net Worths are 90% sooo wrong and wayyy less Conors is 200m according to them even though Conor sold most of his Proper 12 stakes for over 600 million like 1.5 years ago lmao they are always super far off especially with these kind of guys they all have so much fkn more money than the stupid net worth google shit says lmaoo
Nice to c Rampage getting some love, People forget ty for reminding them.
Izzy was not the superstar to mention tf
This was my favorite story in a long time! Always fun to look back at legends through a different lens than the one I lived through at the time.
0:25 Israel Adesanya?😂
Rampage, Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre, only a few of the incredible fighters that got me into this sport originally
and i still love this sport until today.
I feel like this also opened the era of short title reigns. The competition level just got so high that only talent or training would take you so far. You have to literally work so hard and be gifted to stay on the top.
I’m 29! My first mma memories are bodog when I was super young and the first vivid ones are shogun early in the UFC and Forrest griffin! And I remember my first time watching a ppv live was jones dismantling shogun while I sat at a table in a hooters with my late dad!! I was a huge rampage fan too.
I'll be 29 September 5th so I feel ya bec I started watching UFC and getting into it around 2006 remember the ultimate fighter episodes between rampage and Rashad Evans before there ppv fight and Rashad I hated him at the time bec rampage was my fav UFC fighter then till Jones started coming up in the UFC now it's Goat Jones whose my fav...💪🏼from then till now but yeah remember the fight between rampage and the door iykyk..😅🤣🤦🏽♂️and i was on my feet when he knocked out wanderlei i was like let's go!! Howling with him like he did Everytime he won#goodtimes
@@chapellepullom8798 hahaha love it dude!! Yes! Same generation of fight fans
@@Davin-b1r hellyeah..😅💯👌🏼
Rampage Jackson got me into MMA when I was in 5th grade (2009-10), I remember watching him at my friends families house because they were having a party and little did I know it was a UFC watch party. He won and kicked ass, that next week my friend took me to Ben Rothwell's old gym in Kenosha just called gracies that he shared with someone, then he took all his equipment one week and was gone and started his own gym just down and across the street. But I switched to Duke Roufus gym in Milwaukee and met Anthony Pettis and lots of other future fighters, got sick and wasnt able to do it anymore and am still sick but I had a lot of fun over those years.
Rampage has 1 of those personalities you cannot help but respect. In a profession that has absolute monsters wanting to crush your skull, he's get'n cheeky with pretty ladies, jokes everywhere, & has his shit together outside of the Octagon.
That TUF series he was on was a trip!
Ok, I've watched a lot of your content, and this is the best vid your channel has ever produced. Definitely do more deep dives like this. Well done.
A bonafide legend. Pride FC: Final Conflict 2003, was the 1st MMA event I saw.
Rampage and Wanderlei will forever be 2 of my favourite fighters of all time.
Thanks for the video. 🙂👍♥️
That powerbomb shook the world, I was 17 when he did that, he made me love MMA, love Rampage after, he made me a fan with that knockout!! Awesome video big dog love it!!!
Rampage was the man, when he came into the UFC & knocked out Liddell, we knew him & his name carried big weight. He wasnt just some nobody if you followed MMA. It was a great time in MMA & we did not know the instant classics we were watching every PPV, but my god what a great time to be a fan it was.
Rampage and Chuck were my intro to MMA, and back then, I was young, so I was unaware of the politics and the bigger picture. I heard some of these stories over the years but the presentation on this is amazing. Keep telling these types of stories.
Chuck, Rampage, and Tito had a unique look even down to their fighter trunks. The flames of Tito, the Ice shorts of Chuck and the Rampage camo shorts very Iconic
His journey is a crazy and the story line is like from a movie.
This brought back so many memories of why I loved Rampage so much and still do. There will never be another Rampage.
Would’ve liked to hear about his dark past when he got arrested and how he overcame that era. Also his rivalry against Jones was epic, and how he became Mr. T
Rampage is a living legend of the sport 😎
The only man to unify pride and UFC belts. Rampage I’ve been with you since 08’. You will go down as one of the greatest!
Rampage a beast. Broke hearts beating Chuck
Rampage is the one who made me a fan of UFC.
King of the Streets. Rampage is Legendary 😵💫💪
One of your best videos yet Bayliun. Very well put together with Luke as well 💯
Wonderful of you to shine a light on this great man. Great editing and storytelling!
Amazing content as always. You guys constantly prove that you're the leaders in MMA history. Thank you.
This is the man that brought my 2nd and final run in being into MMA. Rampage was my dude, the slam of Aurona ...LEGENDARY!!!!
This is one of my fav vids yall have ever put together. This is a BANGER 🤝
Rampage is one of my all time favorites. Love the Jaxxon podcast too
with rampage on the thumbnail, I didn’t think about it but iceman Chuck Liddell is the goat. I remember hearing about him as a kid and then I started watching UFC and loving the sport.🤩
Chuck Liddell was so exciting to watch. He had some epic fights with people like Rich Franklin.
Liddell and Jackson are like a couple of characters straight out of Street Fighter 2. Two warriors who fight, maybe each other or maybe not, traveling the world and getting into wild shenanigans of all kinds. Being at an event where they do fight against one another is one I'd always suggest observing from a distance. Even if in possession of octagon-side tickets it would behoove one to sacrifice those because once they start throwing hands the resulting shockwaves will most certainly void the warranties of any electronic device on your person.
I got chills when they said his name. I started watching in 2004 on Spike TV
This was a fantastic video 🔥
Thanks 🔥
