Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson thinks he knows why Jake Paul has never called him out.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion is similar to a lot of people Jake Paul has fought since crossing over the boxing.
MMA veterans made up the majority of his professional record before won a unanimous decision against former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson on November 15.
Now he’s talking about testing himself against a real boxer, but Quinton Jackson thinks he could be the man to end Paul’s successful run against ex-UFC stars.
Rampage shares footage of pad workout
Jackson is known for his knockout power after a legendary 52-fight MMA career.
On Wednesday, the 46-year-old shared footage that showed he still packs a punch.
Rampage whacked boxing pads for 35 seconds in a video he aimed at Paul.
It was captioned: “The real reason why Jake Paul has never called me out.”
The footage was shared just days after Rampage called out Paul, who he claimed he would fight for free after accusing him of disrespecting Conor McGregor and Mike Tyson.
“Yo @jakepaul watch how you talk to MMA royalty,” Jackson tweeted.
“I’ll fight you in MMA no weight class for no pay. That’s a great deal.. but I bet YOU won’t. Stop disrespecting people in my f***en sport homie.
“You fighting Tyson was your last straw.. go back to boxing wrestlers.”
What’s next for Jake Paul?
Since beating Mike Tyson, Jake Paul has been offered the chance to win legitimate world titles by light heavyweight king Artur Beterbiev, and IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois.
However, it’s Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez who he really wants to fight next. The Mexican superstar has repeatedly distanced himself from the matchup he will only entertain once his real career is over.
Still, the former Disney actor believes Canelo vs Paul could happen in 2025.
In a recent episode of his BS w/ Jake Paul podcast, he said: “Generally, everyone’s biggest critique is ‘Fight a pro! Fight someone your age!’
“So when I said Canelo is the person, then everyone hates on that…wouldn’t the best opportunity to see me lose be going up against Canelo?
“People won’t be satisfied with my career until I get f***ing flatlined…one of the best to ever do it, a legend, pound-for-pound great… yeah, it’s gonna be an insane fight. It’s gonna be hard as f***.
“I might get my a** beat and flatlined. But let’s f***ing find out!”
