Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's most notable knockouts wins

Jackson will be debuting under Queensberry Rules against a former lineal heavyweight champion in Shannon Briggs. Nevertheless, the former UFC champion is no stranger to closing out the show with punches in MMA.

The Tennessee native has scored several meaningful finishes with his fists during his prolific efforts in the confines of cages and rings alike.

On the Pride and KOTC circuits, the dangerous hands of 'Rampage' saw him earn stoppage wins over Ikuhisa Minowa, Kevin Randleman, Sean Gray, and Yuki Ishikawa, to name a few.

Jackson debuted in the UFC by using his boxing to halt Marvin Eastman and avenge his first-ever loss in mixed martial arts. He then followed it up by KOing Chuck Liddell with punches in their rematch as Jackson became the light heavyweight champion at UFC 71. The now-45-year-old also utilized his hands to earn his first win over Wanderlei Silva by knocking him out at UFC 92.

Jackson began his Bellator MMA run with Joey Beltran and Christian M'Pumbu falling to a barrage of fists from the veteran scrapper. Also in this Bellator tenure, he scored his last finish to tie up a legendary series with his arch-rival, 'The Axe Murderer' Wanderlei Silva.
