Quinton Jackson is an American professional mixed martial arts fighter who rose to prominence with his fights in Japan's PRIDE Fighting Championships. He is currently the light heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. He has a professional record of 27 wins with 6 losses, and has often been seen with his trademark "Rumble Chain" around his neck ringside and before fights. MMAWeekly.com currently has Rampage as the number 2 ranked Light Heavyweight in the world. He is known for both his trademark slams and powerful overhand strikes, as well as for his colourful personality.

Coming into the Japanese promotion as a previously unknown fighter, Jackson was matched at PRIDE 15 against fellow wrestler Kazushi Sakuraba, who was at that time Pride's most prominent domestic fighter. Though taken down repeatedly by the smaller Sakuraba, once on the canvas Jackson refused to be controlled, using his wrestling ability and raw strength to fight off numerous joint-locks and choke attempts from Sakuraba. Repeatedly he elevated Sakuraba off the mat and slammed him down in order to break free from submission holds. An exhausted Jackson eventually succumbed to a rear naked choke from Sakuraba, but his performance opened the eyes of PRIDE's fan base and its executive office both.

After Pride, Jackson signed with the World Fighting Alliance, which was subsequently bought out by the UFC. UFC President Dana White told The Fight Network that Jackson's contract is one of the assets they had acquired. In an interview on Inside the UFC Jackson said it was time for him to enter the UFC, and he hadn't before because of his friendship with Tito Ortiz. Jackson said that because Ortiz was the head fighter in the UFC, he didn't want to ruin that. Jackson made his UFC debut at UFC 67, when he beat Marvin Eastman in a rematch.

At UFC 71, May 26, 2007, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson once again defeated Chuck Liddell by TKO (Strikes) in Round 1 after one minute and fifty-three seconds to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight champion.
