History of Violence: Six Videos of Rampage Jackson vs. MMA Reporters
Posted on June 1, 2011, 04:00 AM by Anton GurevichQuinton Jackson's post-fight performance against Ariel Helwani and Karyn Bryant from MMA H.E.A.T. became the talk of the day in Mixed Martial Arts community.
Well-respected media outlets such as BloodyElbow, Head Kick Legend, CagePotato, MMAFighting and Yahoo! Cagewriter all covered the story, with the vast majority of them suggesting that the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion should be punished for his actions.
Whether you think Quinton Jackson being "Rampage" is funny, or an insult to the intelligence of Mixed Martial Arts fans around the world (and beyond), here's six videos of Rampage in some of the most awkward situations with sport's best reporters. Judge for yourself:
Comments
Ariel: - The only thing i got is my nose
Rampage: - i'll break that homie
ROFL
Anton - Why have you made an article trying to hate on rampage??? You can see that half of the girls throw the,mselves at him and feel priviliged when he flirts with them because he is an "alpha" ROFL!!!!! And also he has not really been violent in any of the videos, just boisterous and intimidating slight but mainly funny.
Understand him and dont be intimidated. If that was my girlfriend he was dry humping the problem would be with her not him...
history of violence? more like history of humping.
Rampage sounds drunk "In the Slaps Ariel" vid
in the second interview with Ariel
Ariel : we made some progress( or something like that he said)
Rampage : You did goodbut, it wasent you it was my friend who is friends with you.
Ariel: so if it wasent for him this wouldn't had happen
Rampage : i probably smack the shit out of you (while death serious)
oh man that was funny as hell , but at the same time i have mix feelings , because is like seeing a bully picking on the smaller kid on school , the reason i feel that is because Ariel is such a good guy and he seems to be uncomfortable interviewing Rampage.
and the girl who dry humps WTF!! 35secs focus on humping her and she dosent even mind
Ppl r lookin to into his interviews....hes just trying to be funny and entertaining and according to the majority of ppl he succeed in doing that and anyways most of the reporters dont mind cause they no its all in good fun so there is no need to over analyze his interviews
lol that second girl wants Rampage big time
The second video....guy is a serious **** and should be nowhere near the sport. Probably explains why I have not seen too much of him recently...
where exactly I hate on Rampage? I mean, do you want me to support his actions? No. I won't. But I really want you guys to judge for yourselves.. like I said, and History of Violence is just a humoristic headline. My favorite movie, btw :)
Wandy should start reporting wen he retires. Put an end to dis xD
Mine is No Country For Oldmen, and Scar Face
Typical whiner? You are trippin.
yeah why would anyone want to get paid what they are worth
WAR RAMPAGE !!!
....And Ariel is a little nerd.
seriously, who cares???? if he gets in trouble for it that's his problem.. he's a grown man that does anything that he think would be funny and obviously knows what he can and cant get away it.. personally i find all these mma sites getting on their moral high horse disgusting.. like come on dude you like to watch two highly trained guys try to put each other to sleep in a cage....
get away with*
You forgot the Karyn Bryant interview Anton.
I have mixed feelings about Ramp. He's funny and annoying at the same time.
Is this article really called "History Of Violence" what a pointless article...when there's nothing to write about i dont think it means just pull a pointless one outta your A**!!! Lmao!!! just wait till its something to write about lol
"LUCY LIU" hahahaha
"Ma-cheetah" LMFAO
u mad?
You sound like somebody's mom!!!
I agree. Seems like there's a lot of kids On this site and this is a fanasty world where everyone can act out of line and get away with it over and over. On one part I like the guy cuz he funny but the other hand he's a bully all the way which makes me not care for him at times. Do t waste your time trying to put knowledge to some of these kids here, they r kids so I give them some slack hHaaha
Bro your an uptight idiot. You probablywalk away if a guy try to talk to your girl because you try to avoid confrotation. Blaming rampage actions as to why there is no MMA in new York is idiotic. The guy needs to tone down on the humping yes, but when being interviewed by a man anthing can and will happen. They sit and write all the bs about these fighters and when they get confronted about it the want to back pedal like little bitches. Stick to what u write and when u get confronted bout it by a fighter man the **** up..just like u were on that keyboard when u wrote that article. Pigu bro I hope you grow some nuts bro
u mad???
the guy has me in stitches! he don't give a sh*t and let's be honest if you see an interivew with rampage on here you're always gonna watch it, same couldn't be said about all MMA fighters no disrespect. rampage is a funny f*** enough said!
Are you for real ...SERIOUSLY...Give me a break and stop the nonsense before you get slapped in the face for hating on Rampage, He's a Damn Fighter not a School teacher you NERD ....Let him act a Fool
@ pigu bore off fella... maybe you just take life too seriously? i think an earlier post capped it off perfectly. he is a grown man who is aware of his actions and therefore should he face repercussions then he can have no complaints. at the end of the day he makes people laugh cus he is lighthearted and CHARIMASTIC... stop being a scrooge
Yea Rampage isn't really killing anybody and it's hard for me to think he is really being serious. He could actually knock out those guys and rape those girls but he's not. He's just playing around in front of the camera. He's always looking for a laugh. It's never a boring interview.
the last 2 interviews are highly disrespectful, and the female reporters, thats their fault they go with the flow so they ok with it but still not professional, the way he starts slapping Ariel and that other guy thats just rude as heck, Dana says Nick Diaz has to play the game a bit or something like that but Rampage is really not playing the public relations game
People are overly sensitive. All these people dealing with rampage can simply set it seriosly before Rampage if they have a problem and if the problem happens again then make a call for the problem. Weak people. I had friends slap me around when I was growing up and i didn't freakin call the cops you pussies.
lol u mad???
Do you watch sitcoms or comedies or talkshows? All that stuff happens on those shows as well. Just curious on your thoughts concerning those things? Were you offended? Can you watch T.V. anymore? I am a bit childlike I guess but I am confident I can get over what happened without incident.
Man pig must have been molested by a black guy lol
What kind of article is this. Rampage is just to funny and just leave it at that. "these nuts in your mouth". that was to funny!!!
Don't be too sensitive.
i don`t know weather it`s his persona or him naturally but he is definately a bit of a bully.
STOP CRYIN BITCHES!!!!
all of you hating on rampage.. you are whiny little bitches!!
rampage is hillariouse.. and it was always funny what he did..
now out of a sudden he is the bad scary black reporter rapeing
dude you hate on!?? chill out.. its fun.. dont act like feminists only cause you are scared of people like him in real life.. and it brings back the nightmares you sufferd at school when the bigboy hated on you! :-D
chill its fun so... STFU!!!
go and watch OPRA or something.. thats grown man sport idiots!!!
The Oprah Show is retired now
What shall you do now? There is ellen I guess.
Dude grow up. Quit actin lime u wouldn't be scared if page was trying to intimidate you yu lol key lard warrior!
When he was barking on all fours, I could'nt cringe harder if i saw my mother in a bukake video...
LOL, oh Rampage... oh the memories.
I love the way Heather (the reporter he advanced on) told SI.com that she was freaking out. Please, you're not fooling anyone. You asked for it.
I guess we know the Anton is a beta :)
Personally I'm all for the interviewer and Rampage having fun while they conduct a interview but I also think Rampage is lot of the time out of order and he seems to feed on intimidation. It's hard to blame someone like rapmpage cuz I can oyimagine how he was treated by his peers growing up. Eventually us stop given a shit about ppl feeling and start dowling it out like he does. But I still think rampage can be funny without having to try and intimidate everyone.
He is an intimidator but if you have a problem then just speak up about it and then it can be sorted.
some of his interviews do get awkward after he is still dry humping after 20-30 seconds
This is the problem with our society today people are too quick to label interactions as "Sexual Harassment". If those girls had a problem with it they would have said "stop"
Just because you as a male or female feel that you would react differently in that situation doesn't mean that your perceptions should over ride the people in question. They were having fun ... Sexual interaction is not always sexual harassment...
As for Ariel I suspect that his nervousness is genuine however Rampage is using intimidation as a defense to what he perceived as a slight against him. I doubt he would ever "throwdown" with Ariel and is just teasing him .. seen this type of interaction in the Army all the time.
Anyways that is my Two cents.
Nice compilation of videos :-D
History of violence...? Did I miss anything on this videos...? Were is the violence...? Seriously Anton...?
Video number 1 - Rampage acting silly pretending his a "dog in heat". Were is the violence in that video...?
Video number 2 - A girl is flirting with Rampage and goes to the point of suggesting they should both do a romantic comedy. Rampage starts to "rub" himself on her. Is it polite of him? Maybe not, but she took the conversation that way and at any point she could stop filming and end the interview. Again, I dont see any violence whatsoever in that video, maybe Rampage should had behave more properly towards a lady but other than that...
Video number 3 - The reporter asks Rampage why was he and his friends grabbing each other in the groin. He, in the jest of the interview, hits the reporter there to point out they weren't grabbing. It was in good fun I think and at no point was it violent, maybe you can point out were in the video the interview turns into violence...
Video number 4 - Rampage and Ariel dont get along well, its a fact. Now, im not blaming Ariel on this, I think hes a good guy and only tries to do is job but in life, sometimes theres some people you cant get along. He and Rampage dont "click" and as such, he should avoid interviews with him. That said, in the interview Rampage was partying and was drunk (or so it seems), again I dont think he was violent toward him, he wasnt friendly but at no point did Ariel felt threatened!
Video number 5 - Same as video before. No violence whatsoever, Rampage is always messing with Ariel. Maybe his being rude, im not saying otherwise, but he has that "alpha" posture and acts exactly has he is. He doesnt seem to like Ariel, we know that (Ariel is very professional IMO and handles himself very well) and he isnt being very friendly, but in his opinion, Ariel is disrespecting him on the web so you must understand were his coming from.
Video Number 6 - The tittle of this one is ridiculous really... Rampage goes Crazy? The reporter (if he was a reporter) asked Rampage to do a stare up with him which he did and as such, he acted like he was on one. He was being Rampage, trying to be funny and again he was on his free time with his buddies - were in the hell was he "crazy" or acting violent?
This article doesn't make much sense really. The tittle itself is biased and misleading and the videos presented here dont show violence whatsoever, maybe some odd behavior by a Cage Fighter with a outspoken and "colorful" personality!
all this article did was make me look up more rampage interviews...best and most hilarious interviews i've ever seen from an individual bar none...just never know whats gonna come outta his mouth, plain awesome!
his whole bipolar persona with ariel is hilarious and intimidating all at the same time...he's trying to send a message to ariel, which is in a nutshell, that hes' cool, but dont play that games with him, which ariel has done over the last few months with fighters where he tries to stir...thats his job, and it does add to hyping matches, but unfortunately did it with the the wrong personlity, definately rubs rampage up the wrong way and he made it clear that he doesnt take kindly to "troublemakers" like ariel. I think there's a chance that he may find ariel endearing, and enjoys playing with him but just got pissed off at him, and as long as ariel doenst make that mistake again, i could see these 2 giving some of the coolest interviews in mma...ariel is a real sport, professional and is likable...watch this budding relationship ensue:)
