Earlier this week, during a spot on ESPN to promote his Bellator 175 rematch against Muhammed Lawal, former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was posited a question about what he regretted most regarding his mixed martial arts journey. Jackson’s answer surprised many. The 38-year-old responded that he most regretted ever starting in MMA, explaining that even though the fight game brought him fame and fortune, it also led him to grow apart from his family back home in Memphis.
Just days ahead of his heavyweight tilt against “King Mo,” Jackson revisited the subject during Bellator 175’s pre-fight press conference, explaining that although he felt his original words were taken somewhat out of context, he still felt the same about his answer to the question.
