Quinton Jackson's UFC return was on, then off, then on again, and in his UFC 186 co-main event vs. Fabio Maldonado (contested at a 215 lbs catchweight), he was able to get the win. Rampage utilized an array of kicks and knees from the clinch that fans previously weren't accustomed to seeing, in addition to his preferred boxing attack.
Maldonado, to his credit, adjusted in the 2nd round and tried wearing Rampage down with fighting against the cage and dirty boxing in the clinch. He spammed short left hooks but lacked the power to trouble Jackson.
