Love this fight... I love when people say "If you put one of these MMA fighters in with a trained boxer/kickboxer under boxing rules, he'll get his ass kicked." Jackson is a badass. Abidi may be decent himself, but this just shows that that's not always true.
9.5/10 x a top 5 mma fighter loses to a top 5 boxer in boxing. Ngannou seemed to be the exception but Fury didn't take that fight seriously and lost mainly due to underestimating Ngannou and not having any respect for his power
@@jessef88 at least MMA fighters have to balls to come to your sport to fight you,most boxers are complete cowards that wouldn't set foot on an MMA mat, the best boxer in the world would get folded with ease by an amateur MMA fighter
Hey, speaking of tough guys who went from one fighting sport to another, anyone remember around this time (2003 or 2004 possibly) when boxer Mighty Mo came on the scene of k-1 and made it to the World Grand Prix? It was nice to always see someone who wasn't a kickboxer naturally come in like Jackson, Mo, and Marvin Eastmen (marvin could kickboxing, but he was more of an MMA fighter).
These two wins right here are my favorite part of Quinton Rampage Jackson 's career, he defeated Cyril twice, who on all accounts should have won this fight because he was a better fighter.
Cant wait to see the fight. Vitor is even more explosive and has a pretty good chin. A guy who has fought as 3 weight classes im dieing on knowing what exactly is his tactic for Silva. I hope he grapples, defends Silva's clinch and brings him down for ground n pound. Or i just wanna see a stand-up contest!
9 years undefeated after his only "loss" in 2000. I don't know who else has done this in MMA. Did you watch Fedor's most recent fight? He was a lot more bloody and cut than when he "lost" due to a scratch by comparison. That was here in the states and they didn't stop it. Randy Couture himself says Fedor is the best and even wanted to get out of his UFC contract so he can fight him. He also said Fedor would destroy Brock with his brutal strikes and submissions and would outsmart Lesnar.
Very well said. Silva has also lost to opponents much smaller than himself and by submission, which is more embarrassing than being ko'd because you make the decision to stop the fight instead of the ref. Andersons never been ko'd. But I think Vitor has the power and skill to be the first one. Silve has to be tactical and careful not to get caught if he wants to beat Vitor.
A MMA fighter beats a kickboxer at his own game. Tells alot about Quintons skill. Cyril is a french boxing champion too but he had all types of problems striking wise.
Rashad Evans, Wanderlei Silva , and Royce Gracie have all beaten heavyweights already. So he has to accomplish something that no one has done before. He already holds the record for the longest undefeated streak in UFC history. But Fedor Emelianenko holds the record for longest undefeated streak in MMA history! Maybe if he becomes the first man to defeat Machida and take the Light-heavyweight title. We'll see...
There was only 1 official knockdown, it was in the 3rd round. After watching the fight again, I say Jackson won. Cyril won the first, the second was tied until Cyril got the yellow card, and Jackson won the 3rd round with the fights only official knockdown.
@lilsm555 Yeah I've heard figures similar to that, but then both Dana and Vadim said those are pure speculation, and that the actual offer never left the negotiation room. I'd bet it was somewhere around there though.
Rampage checked a few kicks here and there. It looks as though he was trying to knee Abidi's leg as Abidi was throwing his kicks. Try kicking someone's knee with your shin or foot. It hurts the person kicking more than the one kneeing. Timing is the key.
Rampage is just sucking in those kicks but its amazing that he can continue fighting like nothing happened. Fedor in my opinion is the worlds best MMA fighter. He has been beaten once with an ileagal elbow. Some peole complaine and call Fedor a coward because he doesn't fight UFC figters. The reason behind this is because Dana Whites comes with a one sided deal. Fedor wants there to be a deal which benefits both partiesl
@81carlos Werdum was released from the UFC, and he had no trouble with Fedor. I gotta admit, Dana has a point. I think Brock, Carwin or even Alistair Overeem would give Fedor some real trouble.
Me too. Some people just think these pure strikers are almost invicable. And they always say under boxing rules or K1 rules so and so would get his ass kicked. Well why should the MMA guy have to take away 50 percent of his skills. The pure striker should man up and fight under MMA rules if he's so bad ass.
@cdnp4 I think you need to watch the knockout again, he was out from the first punch. Fedor's style is infighting, if you look at a many of his fights he looks like it's an even fight and then he get's the win by submission or TKO. Seriously, watch his fights with arlovski, coleman and randleman, pretty even til the finish. Fedor isn't a counter fighter like Machida or A Silva, or a dominating wrestler like GSP. They even joke about that on MMA fan sites 'fedor would have lost if he didn't win'
Theres two sides to a story, anyone Fedor signs with wants that company to co-promote with M-1 Global. No serious business man is going to merge with a company that generates exponentially smaller revenue than his own. It's bad for business, well, it'd be good for M-1 anyway. I agree with Dana in saying that taking a shot his business is not worth 1 man.
I'm talking about Cyril. If Rampage fought him in Pride or UFC the guy would have gotten taken down in the first round and pounded like a redheaded step child. K1 is nothing more than kick boxing.
this k1 fight was like a k1 fight. rampage.. i guess couldnt reallys how all of his talents on this k1 game. other wise if they fought in ufc style. rampage would have dominated
LOL. You can tell Rampage wants to slam him so hard a couple times in this fight. I hate being in The States sometimes. Japan has so many more options in terms of combat sports. What's more, they don't seem to bogart talent like we do. There's all kinds of crossover promotions and things like this. Dana White would probably literally leash fighters if it could be cleared legally.
@Warren Any deal revolving ufc co-promoting with another company I think is bad for the sport. Dana White is trying to run MMA by looking at where Boxing went wrong. Promoters like Don King have ruined boxing by making the fighters bigger then the sport to the point where many of Boxing's BIG fights aren't going to happen like mayweather vs Pacman. Add that to the fact that they don't overpay fighters (350,000 is the most for lesnar) and making so many weight classes also helps. I could be wrong
If u really think, Silva is a very big MW fighter and a great size LHW. Fedor is always smaller then the HWs he fights. Silva is entertaining only in that fight wit Forrest. It just showed how overrated Forrest is, and made it look like he took a dive. He barely beat Rampage, and choked out a injuryed shogun. Silva hasnt fought alot of big names. He fought rich, hendo, and Forrest. Only guy he truly had a problem was Hendo. However he will fight Vitor a fighter who should now be in his prime.
Chuck, Wanderlie, Randy's still ok but should retire anyway, Forrest Griffin is starting to show the wear and tear of brawling. Look what happened to Ken Shamrock and Don Frye. They nearly ended each others careers when they fought and were never the same. Don Frye had his ankle broken and Ken's head was disfigured where you could hardly recognize him. Same with his fight against Tito and Franklin. Even WWE wrestlers get brain damage and concussions from all of those chair shots. It's inevitable
Well in mma when you get knocked down you usually get pummeled while on your back so how is boxing any worse? Chuck Liddell now talks with a slur in his speech, and many other mma guys do too.
shouldnt referees be handing out yellow cards when opponents hug eachother? I dont get it. Boxing and kickboxing has been around for so long but holding onto an opponent so you wont get hit still isnt illegal?
Fedor is a buisiness man now and is looking out for his future. What's he going to do when he retires? Probably promote other fighters and keep making himself money! Dana White doesn't like fighters who are independent and can take care of themselves because he has no control over them. Why didn't he have a heavyweight go over to Japan and challange Fedor when he was champ over there? Because he tried that with Chuck and was humiliated by Rampage. I don't think Dana ever went back after.
@1024joaquin cyril abidi was pretty decent at the time and idk when he fought bob sapp but sapp has beaten some of the best k-1 fighters. Sapp in his early kickboxing career beat ernesto hoost twice who is one of the best guys to compete in k-1. so cyril lost to a prime bob sapp. even ernesto hoost did. rampage is also a very good striker with alot of power and he has struck with guys like machida who wuld easily be k-1 material. cyril issn't particularly good i admit however.he beat peter aerts
overeem started as a striker. and he is huuge. enough said. plus hari ko'd him in 1st round in rematch. sapp didn't beat bonjaski. wasn't bonjaski tooling him then sapp whacked him when he was on the ground and got DQ'd? modern Boxing has had a 150 year old history. The skills have had more time to be refined. MMA as we know it today has had only 17 years. Give it time. Look at Fedor's fights to see a our current MMA master at work.
I didn't say Fedor was undefeated. I meant that Fedor has not lost since 2001. Count How many wins he's won without being beat since then and tell me if you know any one else who has done this. You don't think Fedor is entertaining? I don't think you've watched very many of his fights. The guy beat Crop Cop! Destroyed Nogieria twice! He's beaten giants! He's won major tournaments. The only man to win the Pride and WAMMA heavyweight titles, Couture himself says he's the best!
A wrestler out striking a pretty respected K1 fighter....
Quinton became a legend within combat sports and unified intercontinental belts.
👊🥷🏿 Oos!
Rampage an MMA and kickboxing legend. 37 wins 11 losses in UFC and Bellator.
mma legend but not kickboxing

One of the best body shots ever.

lol it looked like rampage was gonna go for a take down in the beginning with cyril kicking
Abidi: 100% Technique
Jackson: 50%, 50% technique
i wish rampage fought k-1 more... quinton in heavyweight grand prix that would have been sick

The problem is, he's also scared.
Never knew rampage could take leg kicks like that

Bravo Jackson !! 👏✊
Dare devil my favourite abidi
The ref has no idea what he is doing
100% agreed!
@cdnp4p
I have to disagree. They show it from the ref. cam in slow motion, in between rounds. He took 2-3 punches, the rest slipped.
@maxpower789z , no true words hav ever been spoken man, thumbs up for sure
Abidi keeps turning around..
If this fight went up to round 5..i don't know if Jackson kan take anymore low kicks
@lilsm555

クリントン選手が凄いのは、アビディ選手のローキックを結構まともに受けているのに、最後まで前に前に出てくるところ。
昔からアメリカ人&ボクサータイプはローキックで簡単に動きを止められるが定説でしたが、クリントン選手には通用しなかったですね！
最も完全なボクサーだったボタ選手でさえ、ローキックで倒せませんでしたからアビディ選手のローキックの威力が見た目ほどないのかもしれませんが…
Rampage is just sucking in those kicks but its amazing that he can continue fighting like nothing happened.
Fedor in my opinion is the worlds best MMA fighter. He has been beaten once with an ileagal elbow.
Some peole complaine and call Fedor a coward because he doesn't fight UFC figters. The reason behind this is because Dana Whites comes with a one sided deal. Fedor wants there to be a deal which benefits both partiesl
I would knock Quinton Jackson's lights out. I have been doing kickboxing for quite a while, but never a match. I'm sure I would own him easily though.
Imagine if Quinton has participated in K1...
ya but this was early in jacksons career and its when he was mostly a wrestler that slammed people and he knew some striking.
@81carlos Werdum was released from the UFC, and he had no trouble with Fedor. I gotta admit, Dana has a point. I think Brock, Carwin or even Alistair Overeem would give Fedor some real trouble.

Rampage vs Roy Jones (boxing)
Rampage vs Saki (kickboxing)
Rampage vs Newton (mma)
Clymax01 lol there's a good 50 pounds between them.

raaaaaaaaaaaas dont know how rampage can take that many leg kicks and carry on fighting !
@shinsoffury Did you just really use MMA math? A historically flawed system of prediction in fights?
@LJboogy27 those gloves aren't far off mma gloves at all
Rampage is showing too much respect for this back-turning bum
sportstyle he’s in a foreign country trying not to make Americans and black people look like fools
Wow Jackson is a better stand up fighter than I thought ! I always though he was some garbage brawler.
+thesupervader400 thats a common misconception. rampage has really good technical boxing. just watch his third fight wanderlei for prime example
I'm talking about Cyril. If Rampage fought him in Pride or UFC the guy would have gotten taken down in the first round and pounded like a redheaded step child. K1 is nothing more than kick boxing.
Cyril Abidi: yes, Jackson is a tough opponent. He knock out Wanderla in ufc.
Stefan Leko: I will knock out Badr Hari once more..
I think it is more of the fact that pride was bought out by UFC and it was either go to UFC or back to small time local fights.
talk about a hugging competition
シリル選手は、俺も好きです。格好良いし、スタイルも抜群。この時履いている短パン(ユニフォーム？)もデザイン格好良い。好きですね。でも、この姿でニックマレー選手に勝ったのみで、あとはクイントン選手に派手にK.O.負けし、その後はボブ・サップ選手には、完全に恐がって失禁寸前まで追い詰められ、サップ選手のパンチ連打を食らい、何も出来ずに見るも無惨な姿を皆の前に晒して、トラウマになる位負けて更に、短パンの履き方少し変えて(普通ならボブ・サップ選手にあんな負け方喫したら、勝負短パン変えるよ。準備が間に合わなかったのかな？もう履きたくない？か、あの短パン姿でもう一度勝ちたかったのか？中で、しかも完全に怯えてたボブ・サップ選手の見てる前では、冷静に試合できず(泣))同じクイントン選手相手にまた負け、逆にあの短パン姿が可哀想です。しかも、この後ボブ・サップ選手の軍門に下る型で、短パンも練習着のまま、あんな小型の選手と試合させられる。また素敵な短パンに、変えて試合するも、負けてばかり。本当に可哀想な選手ですね。

U can tell jackson is used to MMA as he keeps going for takedowns :P
2:46 ARE U KIDDING ME? HIS LEG ALMOST BROKE
Theres a one knee in the clinch rule.
should have put jackson up against sefo or crocop these days. he wouldnt have lasted one round under k1 rules.

he would be the heavyweight version of albert kraus. Excellent boxing but no leg kicks.

no im a bad man.....who am i lieing to man id run like hell!!!
bruce lee would dominate mma
Yea but still Abidi is far from the best kickboxer while Jackson is easily one of the best mma fighter and he fights mostly stand-up.
1:26 listen to the sound when their leg meets.

the comentator drops his guts at 6.57
Very sloppy fight... pretty sad to think that Abidi whose a K-1 boxer can do this bad against Jackson whose just a mixed martial artist.
Abidi no power with the hands Rampage is a warrior
I don't like Abidi at all, but I will say that he can take a beating. Kinda like Gary Goodridge.
JDS doesnt have any power,no upper body movement?? Have you watched any of his fights lol

sapp didn't beat bonjaski. wasn't bonjaski tooling him then sapp whacked him when he was on the ground and got DQ'd?
modern Boxing has had a 150 year old history. The skills have had more time to be refined. MMA as we know it today has had only 17 years. Give it time.
Look at Fedor's fights to see a our current MMA master at work.
Almost lost? you mean the guy he k'od in the second round?
nah.
puncher-kicker-knee-er beats puncher under punching, kicking, kneeing rules.
puncher beats puncher-kicker-knee-er in punching rules.
easy to understand now?
Even a punching bag like Abidi found out about Rampage's weakness to leg kicks, those ones came down hard on Jackson nowadays
