Despite defeat against Jon Jones in UFC 135, when aiming to win back the UFC light heavyweight title, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson has fallen back in love with fighting. Sure he accepts he can’t go on forever and that the end of his illustrious career is drawing to an end, but tucked away at the Muscle Pharm Training Facility in Denver, Colorado, Rampage has got his hunger back.

Co-headlining UFC 144 in Japan on February 26th will give the Wolfslair star the ideal opportunity to showcase his restored fighting prowess, when he faces Ryan Bader in another generational crossover matchup.

And Rampage has a secret weapon fueling his training this time too: the Japanese fans. For him returning to Japan is like returning home. It’s where his career as one of the world’s biggest mixed martial artists truly began. And he’s ready to prove to the world once more that he’s still got what it takes to reign at the very top.
