...OH, ONE MORE THING - PLEASE BOOKMARK US & VISIT DAILY!
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief Gareth Davies of the UK's Telegraph publication yesterday spoke with a couple of people close to the Wolf's Lair gym about Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's upcoming bout with Wanderlei Silva at UFC 92. Former strength and nutrition coach for Ricky Hatton, Kerry Kayes is a fitness consultant for the Wolf's Lair, which houses the likes of Michael Bisping and Rampage. On Jackson, Keyes states, "Rampage is physically one of the strongest fighters I've ever seen and after we've redesigned his diet and food intake. He should be stronger than ever for this next fight."
Rampage's trainer and manager Anthony McGann took that one step further, stating, "You will never have seen the Rampage you're going to see at UFC 92. This is Rampage who has been training with top sparring partners and top experts in all the various fields, top conditioners, top strength and diet experts like Kerry Kayes. This is the Rampage who is going to win back his UFC Title and defend it for years."
We'll find out next month, of course, whether Rampage's ordeals over the last several months have truly turned him around, and he'll have his chance to make a statement against the man that defeated him twice in Japan, Wanderlei Silva. That fight will happen at UFC 92, on December 27th on pay-per-view.
