Rampage says Shogun fight is gonna have to wait, he needs multiple knee surgeries!!!
Shortly after the news of the UFC opting to have Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (32-10) finish out his final fight on contract against fellow former champion and Pride FC opponent Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (20-6); Rampage says it won’t be anytime soon. Quinton has tweeted that he will need to undergo double-knee surgery following his recent loss to Ryan Bader in Japan.
“2 keep it real,the Shogun fight will have 2 wait,I just found out that I have 2 get surgery on both knees,” Jackson tweeted.
“But I heal fast don’t trip.”
Rampage had cited injuries prior to his last bout as the cause of missing weight at UFC 144. Jackson had explained to interviewer Ariel Helwani that the injury kept him from his cardio runs, which now makes since with the news of the knee injuries. Rampage had recently also tweeted that the UFC was aware of his injury and still criticized his performance and lack of ‘professionalism’ making weight.
