Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson was not best pleased when Kevin Holland said that he’d like to fight him in a mega showdown.
The pair erupted at one another, with the legend warning ‘Trailblazer’ that he doesn’t want the smoke.
Rampage Jackson tells Kevin Holland not to pick a fight with him
In his esteemed career, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson proved himself as one of the scariest fighters to have ever graced the octagon.
However, as terrifying as the power puncher is, he certainly doesn’t intimidate Kevin Holland.
On Saturday night, at UFC 311, inside the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, USA, the American will go head-to-head with Reinier de Ridder in a must-win fight.
However, while the charismatic athlete should be focusing on the task at hand, he’s instead winding up Rampage over a potential showdown.

During an appearance on the JAXXON Podcast, the trash-talker discussed the idea of an unrealistic contest with the former UFC world champion. And it’s fair to say it didn’t go down too well.
Rampage asserted: “That’s the last thing he wants to do is fight me,” to which Holland replied: I still want to. I don’t give a f**k about the fight on Saturday.”
Emphasizing his point, with a slightly sterner tone, the 46-year-old, claimed: “I’m being real with you young buck, you don’t want to fight me.”
The welterweight fired back: “That sounds good,” before Rampage concluded: “Sometimes, people don’t know what they want. You don’t want to fight me.”
Rampage Jackson and Michael Bisping reminisce about crazy sparring story: ‘He jumped over the ring’
Perhaps one reason why Rampage is suggesting that Holland wants no part of him, is because he knows just how intense he can be.
The UFC icon recently welcomed Michael Bisping onto his podcast, and the pair reminisced over their days training together.
On one occasion, Rampage frightened a fellow MMA star so much he actually ‘jumped over the ring and ran down the street’.
