"I am a fighter, for real. I have taken time off before and come back and did a good job. Its all about what is in you. I ain’t worried about how many fights he got, I have beat people that fought every month while I didn’t fight in years. I have beat people who have way more experience than I do. Its all about what is in you, and Rashad talks too much. Its in me to whup up on him... Those words he said on The Ultimate Fighter show are still around, I still got to hear it when fans bring it up all the time… The time is going to come, he is going to get his. I am going to test his chin because he has got no chin. A guy with a big mouth like that, and he ain’t got a chin. Its ironic."
-Quinton "Rampage" Jackson talks to Fighter's Only about what will be a more than year off in between fights and wanting to give Rashad what's coming to him.
Penick's Analysis: We'll get to see if he can back up his side of the trash talk this May, but at least the fight is taking place. They had some great confrontations during last season's Ultimate Fighter that ended up feeling extremely flat and out of place when we knew they wouldn't be fighting right away. Rampage may find he's got a ways to go to repair the image he gave himself during TUF, though perhaps his time away will get fans simply more excited to see him return. The fourteen month gap in fights is going to have an effect regardless of these comments, but he can certainly overcome that by connecting. It's another nice set of comments here as well to continue the trash talking between the two.
