Bellator-DAZN Announcement Press Conference

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson is the latest fighter to have joined the bandwagon of MMA fighters expressing their desire to give boxing a shot. However, Rampage actually floated the idea to Dana White much before Conor McGregor managed to get Floyd Mayweather out of retirement.

Jackson spoke to TMZ Sports about the possibility of having a boxing match and the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion stated that he would certainly entertain the idea.

Rampage admitted that he doesn't prefer fighting taller guys with a long reach, which is why he would not want to go up against Deontay Wilder.

The Bellator fighter, however, added that he would face the Bronze Bomber if offered a $100 Million.

“I’ll fight anybody but Deontay Wilder. He’s too tall. Unless they give me like $100 mil, then I’d fight him. I’m keeping it real. I don’t like to fight tall guys with a long reach. I’ll tell you what. I’ll fight him if they give me $100 mil and we do me one boxing match and one MMA match, then I’ll fight him. $100 mil. I’m keeping it real. I don’t like fighting them long, tall dudes."

Jackson said that he does intend to have a boxing match before he finally retires from combat sports.

“I asked Dana White a long time ago, way before Conor McGregor even was around, let me do some boxing. It wasn’t my time, there was nobody for me to fight. I still want to fight a boxing match before I retire." H/t Credit: BJPenn

The MMA veteran is scheduled to take on Fedor Emelianenko in a joint-event produced by Bellator and Rizin on December 29th in Japan. The 41-year-old last fought in September 2018 and beat Wanderlei Silva via TKO.
