I was a 21 year old newly turned pro fighter who flew to Vegas in August of 2006 with my parents for Chuck vs Babalu and Forrest vs Stephan 2 at UFC 46. We walked into a burlesque bar at Mandalay Bay (our hotel) the night before the fights and walking out of the same bar to our right was Rampage Jackson and his crew. This was way before most American fans knew who he was. I say to my parents under my breath “That’s one of the best light heavyweights in the world.” My mother asks his name and I tell her “Rampage Jackson.” My mother urges me to go talk to him and I act too cool. I was a 1-0 newly turned pro fighter at the time so my attitude was more like “Nah, I’m not a jersey chaser and I’ll probably have to fight him one day.” 🤭🙄😂 My mother then blurts out “MR. RAMPAGE! MR. RAMPAGE, SIR! This is my son and he will be a UFC fighter one day in your weight class and we just wanted to say hi!” Rampage immediately sizes me up, looks me up and down, and then says “Bullsh*t. Your big ass ain’t makin’ no god d*mn 205! (I’m 6’4”) How much you weigh?!” And, laughing, I say “240 lbs but I’ve made 205 once already.” He then said “Gaaaah damn! Mother f*ckers like you are gonna be the ones who make me retire early! How old are you?” And I told him (still laughing) that I was 22. He then said “But can you fight?” And I said “I’m 1-0 as a pro.” He said “1 and 0?! And you want to be in the UFC?! Then why you got that damn cigarette?!” (Leaving the bathroom of the previous bar, the bathroom attendant handed me a cigarette after I tipped him. I clearly didn’t smoke but, for whatever reason, put the cigarette in my ear.) When I went to tell Rampage that story, I turned to my left quickly toward my parents to say “They are my witnesses! I don’t smoke. See what happened was…” but at the exact moment I quickly turned to my left, Rampage had thrown up his right hand to “Rampage smack” the cigarette out of my ear but, because of my quick turn and ironic timing, he ended up just slapping the sh*t out of me. Before I even had the chance to react, he grabbed me and kinda hugged me a bit and immediately apologized and said “Oh sh*t! My bad! My bad! You turned into it! I was just gone smack the cigarette but now I feel like a whole ass asshole! My bad!” and then he got serious and the playfulness went away and he turned to my parents and grabbed my mom’s hand and said “Ma’am, all jokin’ aside, I did not mean to smack the shit out of your son just now. I’m sorry.” And my mom (laughing hysterically) shook his hand back and said “That’s okay. He knows how to take a punch.” To which Rampage then went back to funny Rampage, started laughing, and said “Oh sh*t! She just said he can take a punch like she his manager. Damn, mama!” Then he looked up at me and said “You really might retire my ass one day, huh?!” Then he asked some questions about where I’m from, where I train, fighting style, plans for the future, when my next fight was, some similar training partners we had trained with, etc., and we ended by taking a pic together and him telling me to go inside and tell the bar that our drinks were on his tab for the rest of the night (which I definitely tried but the bartender didn’t believe me and I didn’t want to push it or go get the bouncer to vouch for me or whatever). But very long story short, Rampage is the coolest, most genuine, down to earth fighter I’ve ever met and (not a lowkey flex) I’ve met pretty much every single one of the GOATs (and even have been fortunate enough to have trained with a few) and I can’t say enough about Rampage Jackson and that encounter with him some 18 years ago.
Rampage, Crocop, Wanderlei Silva, Sakuraba and Shogun are legends in mma. Back in 2000 you could only watch Pride FC on VHS, months after they fought. There was no other mma promotion like Pride FC back then
@@jeerzinqd6831that’s super cool bro. I had to go to the only Japanese convenience store that rented them out and it was an hour away. Not even sure if there were new arrivals from Pride. If you know, you know
You can find a short actual Clip of rampage and sakuraba where they joking around and doing a Wrestling stand together. It has to be from the Meeting he is Talking about. Sorry for my english im from Germany😉
As a native Japanese, I never heard our country asking foreigners to come here just to make babies lol. Dating or fear of rejection isn’t the problem of Japan’s declining birth rate. Casual hookups in general is more normal than ever. I really wouldnt consider “work culture” or whatever to be the reason neither. It all comes down to life choices. Japan, especially Tokyo, is extremely accommodating when it comes to single people’s lifestyle. People would rather choose the single lifestyle in the city rather than start a family in the rural area.
I used to see the Pride Fighters in Roppongi (foreigner district of Tokyo) back in the day. Rampage was one of them. Wanderlei another. The one I fanboy'ed for was Bob Sapp. He always had big crowds on the streets of Roppongi
Japan is not the only country suffering from population decline. Each country has some unique issues associated with this but the main issue is urbanization as the country industrializes. The concentration of people in an urban environment changes the way people interact with each other and one of the changes is people put off marriage for career purposes and once married have way fewer children. Japan is just the first major industrial country to start dealing with this back in the '90's. There are many other countries who industrialized and urbanized at a much faster pace and will hit the wall on this shortly.
@@marklower007 Yes, but it's not just the house. I've been to Japan many times and the jobs are all in cities. But the cities are mostly tiny apartments. Then both parents have to work and already barely get by. Then you factor in child care and most couples just decide it's not financially responsible. There are so many other reasons, both those are the main.
He told the story in its entirety on a podcast a few years back. Sorry, I can’t remember what podcast but I’m sure some diligent searching will net you a positive result.
Saw them on the streets of Roppongi (foreigner district in Tokyo) back in the day. Saw other Pride fighters too like Bob Sapp and Cro Cop. Wanderlei had such a legendary brutal style. If he was in his prime today he could beat most current ranked fighters on brutality alone.
Japan will forever be the most beautiful country in the world. Every single person there actually cares about their land and prospering as a people. No d’où else comes close
This really seems like the most composed version of Quentin I’ve ever seen. It seems like a lot of those big hits. He took back in pride and UFC have sort of washed away. A lot of times it has the opposite effect as age gets the best of us. It’s awesome to see his clarity and he seems to be really happy.
@@dontcare7086 Nate would not be a good interview because he would have to put on his fake act for 3 hrs. You want authenticity on these conversations.
Arona fought in the 2005 Pride FC GP after the slam and was the runner up, he beat Wanderlei Silva, the first to do so after Silva held 15 fight or more win streak in Middleweight (205). Arona then fought him for the belt. Arona was great wish he went on to the UFC after.
True. It's a completely false narrative that Rampage's slam on Arona hurt him so bad that he was never the same again/didn't fight much after that. Some of Arona's biggest victories in Pride (against Wanderlei, Sakuraba, and Overeem) were actually AFTER the Rampage slam. If anything the slam seemed to make him better, LOL.
@@Freefall347 basically that Pride was run by Japan Mob(Yakuza) and they were all on "gear". But that was while ago, while Mirko was still competing. If he was to reach out to Cro Cop, amd he was on some journey/holiday in the States, I believe he would do an podcast.
Ill never forget Suga Rashad Evans vs Rampage Jackson after their Ultimate Fighter season its was so great and one week after i saw the fight, i met Rashad Evans at a Culvers in Frankfort IL randomly lol me and a few buddies at age 12-13 spotted him in the drive thru and he was real cool couldnt talk long cuz drive thru but he was nice .....oh yeah this is a rampage video...😂 I love rampage too he was my favorite in the ufc 1 game
With some googling I saw that after Arona got powerbombed, he actually continued his career and had fairly decent fights with wins and losses against top tier opponents like wanderlei and Alistair overeem. I think the powerbomb KO he took was so iconic and vicious, that we just forgot about him. 😂 He didn’t actually stop fighting after that. He will just always be remembered for this moment.

Never got kicked in the head after first fight, damn that's impressive looking at his history of opponents including Jones, Rampage was my intro to MMA it's good to see him on JRE.
Rampage when he was in pride was an absolute fucking animal my god. The strength you need to lift a probably 220+ pound dude OVER YOUR FUCKING HEAD after getting your whole face split open is beyond absurd. Pride was so epic, the shit they were doing was beyond not safe but it was just wildly entertaining it’s undeniable how fun those fights were.
I am a Japanese in Japan & fan of Joe Rogan, so I don’t know how to react when they say They are like robots and don’t have sense of humor. I believe it is just different kinds of humor for sure. Japanese people are fun loving too, Joe.
You can go ahead and think however you want. I personally don’t like to stereotype any race. Yes, but I do that sometimes too still. It is hard to avoid. Even Joe Rogan cannot I guess… maybe we Japanese are like robots after all. Maybe I am a robot too. I need dmt to get out of that… lol.

To cut off your fingers in the yakuza or traditionally called: Yubitsume "was a form of credit and reputation score. Yubitsume is also a sign of surrender by the defeated in a yakuza war." You lost digits if you've failed a significant job up. However you could also slice em off to gain standing or be recruited if you have no known reputation.
The very first UFC fight I ever saw was Rampage Jackson versus The Iceman. I still remember and I've been a fan ever since. Love Rampage and wish him nothing but continued success in all his ventures, especially with the jaxxon podcast 🙏🏼
Rampage was always a cool dude. I remember winning a lot of money on his first UFC against Chuck. I bet heavy on rampage because after the Pride match I didn't think chuck could beat him. It paid off for me, but I lost a lot when I bet on D.C. to beat Jon. That taught me you NEVER bet against Jon Jones The Goat.
Rampage Jackson is a great character! What I mean is his personality is very easy going and fun. He seems like he would be fun to hang with in general.
Yes, and one of those 3 losses was a split decision against Wanderlei Silva (a lot of people thought Arona was robbed). Another loss was against Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou because Arona fought when he was sick. I don't know why Rampage is spreading this false narrative that Arona didn't fight much after the slam. Arona only stopped fighting in Pride because of Pride's closure.
Rampage will forever be my favorite fighter I think. Watched GSP and all the greats, but Mr. Jackson remains on top. One of the greatest light heavyweights of all time.
Yeah I don't know why Rampage is spreading this false narrative that his slam on Arona hurt him so bad that he was never the same again/didn't fight much after that. Some of Arona's biggest victories in Pride (against Wanderlei, Sakuraba, and Overeem) were actually AFTER the Rampage slam. If anything the slam seemed to make him better. Arona stopped fighting because Pride closed down, not because he got powerbombed LOL.
Yeah, if i’m trying to get someone in a submission and just get picked up and rag dolled like that with that much force, I’m definitely rethinking some life choices.
"Asking people to go there and ****" is a meme from an April Fool's news article. It's hilarious every time I hear somebody cite that like it's true 😂😂😂
Yep. Especially more so for those that know Japan’s strict stance on immigration and foreigners in general. Joe knows a lot of trivia but he is often off the mark though.
I feel like people almost never give Ricardo Arona his flowers. He was really well-rounded. His hands weren't the greatest but he had great leg kicks, really good leg kicks to the body in really good cardio and obviously his jiu jitsu was top-notch. I would have loved him in the UFC. Imagine him pinning someone against the cage and elbowing the hell out of them?!?
‘You didn’t get your ass kicked, you just lost’
Joe is a G for making someone feel confident in a loss.

With some googling I saw that after Arona got powerbombed, he actually continued his career and had fairly decent fights with wins and losses against top tier opponents like wanderlei and Alistair overeem.
I think the powerbomb KO he took was so iconic and vicious, that we just forgot about him. 😂 He didn’t actually stop fighting after that. He will just always be remembered for this moment.
True. It's a completely false narrative that Rampage's slam on Arona hurt him so bad that he was never the same again/didn't fight much after that. Some of Arona's biggest victories in Pride (against Wanderlei, Sakuraba, and Overeem) were actually AFTER the Rampage slam. If anything the slam seemed to make him better, LOL.
Never got kicked in the head after first fight, damn that's impressive looking at his history of opponents including Jones, Rampage was my intro to MMA it's good to see him on JRE.
Rampage when he was in pride was an absolute fucking animal my god. The strength you need to lift a probably 220+ pound dude OVER YOUR FUCKING HEAD after getting your whole face split open is beyond absurd. Pride was so epic, the shit they were doing was beyond not safe but it was just wildly entertaining it’s undeniable how fun those fights were.
Glad to see Rampage squash his issues with Joe and finally come on the pod. It has been LONG overdue!
My favorite all time fighter...just a bad ass.
Rampage is a beast. What a guy
I am a Japanese in Japan & fan of Joe Rogan, so I don’t know how to react when they say They are like robots and don’t have sense of humor. I believe it is just different kinds of humor for sure. Japanese people are fun loving too, Joe.
There's the language barrier. Hard to find people funny if you can't understand them
Naahh ..u guys over act like robots yiu follow the group.its like u luck individualism.... after all the nail that sticks out gets the hammer, right?
You can go ahead and think however you want. I personally don’t like to stereotype any race. Yes, but I do that sometimes too still. It is hard to avoid. Even Joe Rogan cannot I guess… maybe we Japanese are like robots after all. Maybe I am a robot too. I need dmt to get out of that… lol.
@@patochan4876 didn't mean it in a hateful or disrespectful way man🙏🙏..just wanted to point it out coz to us outsiders it's how it looks.its all cool here man✌🏿
Rogan doesnt know anything about Japanese culture and Rampage not much more even though he went there so many times.....
“Im going to japan to make babies” 💀💀
Rampage is definitely one of my favorite fighters. Top 5 for sure. That whole UFC era was amazing.
Finally rampage on JRE
"I never been on the Joe's podcast"
Here we are
To cut off your fingers in the yakuza or traditionally called: Yubitsume "was a form of credit and reputation score. Yubitsume is also a sign of surrender by the defeated in a yakuza war."
You lost digits if you've failed a significant job up. However you could also slice em off to gain standing or be recruited if you have no known reputation.
This guy is a savage his slam ko is fkin iconic.
Since he's already a household name in Japan, I'm sure he could secure himself a cushy JAV contract...
I’m just picturing Rampage going to Japan and going Ganges Khan and having 2,000 kids 😂
The very first UFC fight I ever saw was Rampage Jackson versus The Iceman. I still remember and I've been a fan ever since. Love Rampage and wish him nothing but continued success in all his ventures, especially with the jaxxon podcast 🙏🏼
Yes finally
Rampage was always a cool dude. I remember winning a lot of money on his first UFC against Chuck. I bet heavy on rampage because after the Pride match I didn't think chuck could beat him. It paid off for me, but I lost a lot when I bet on D.C. to beat Jon. That taught me you NEVER bet against Jon Jones The Goat.
Rampage Jackson is a great character! What I mean is his personality is very easy going and fun. He seems like he would be fun to hang with in general.
my favorite fighter of all time, can’t wait to listen to full pod.
I feel like rampage could be a regular guest, guy is hilarious
Ricardo Arona had 4 wins (against legends) in the 14 months after getting slammed by rampage. He went on to win 6 and lose 3 after the rampage fight !
Yes, and one of those 3 losses was a split decision against Wanderlei Silva (a lot of people thought Arona was robbed). Another loss was against Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou because Arona fought when he was sick. I don't know why Rampage is spreading this false narrative that Arona didn't fight much after the slam. Arona only stopped fighting in Pride because of Pride's closure.
Rampage always an entertaining interview. Legend.
I use to see Rampage train up in Big Bear California, running with his 2 Rottweilers. Very nice guy, always smiling.
One of the best interviews.
Cost of living and social media/dating apps are ruining society.
Rampage will forever be my favorite fighter I think. Watched GSP and all the greats, but Mr. Jackson remains on top. One of the greatest light heavyweights of all time.
Dude rampage is chill as hell! Great video
Rampage is a pioneer.
Glad to see him doing well.
God speed my dude
Two Algorithms walk into a bar, joke does continue and has an ending just takes longer than this
Arona's leg kicks were nasty
My very first favorite fighter! His fight in WFA against Matt Lindland was my introduction to MMA.
The acquisition price was reported to be approximately $2 million
Gotta love some Rampage
Ricardo Arona fought many times after the Rampage loss, man beat Overeem and Wanderlei after the slam, Rampage don't need to feel bad for nothing.
Yeah I don't know why Rampage is spreading this false narrative that his slam on Arona hurt him so bad that he was never the same again/didn't fight much after that. Some of Arona's biggest victories in Pride (against Wanderlei, Sakuraba, and Overeem) were actually AFTER the Rampage slam. If anything the slam seemed to make him better. Arona stopped fighting because Pride closed down, not because he got powerbombed LOL.
Rampage was a fucking BADASS!!!! May have to listen to the full episode of this one
That is probably one of the most viscous slams I’ve ever seen in my life… fucking right you not the same after that type of impact.
Yeah, if i’m trying to get someone in a submission and just get picked up and rag dolled like that with that much force, I’m definitely rethinking some life choices.
He went 6 and 3 in his next 9 fights. Rampage didn't change him significantly, the fella was shorter than me and finished 6ft 5 Overeem
You should look up rampages slam in high school wrestling
And then theres Fedor who takes a suplex on his head from a ROIDED out Kevin Fxcking Randleman, transitions out of the gaurd and subs him 😅

My Grandma is from Kyoto and my mom was born in Tokyo in the 60s. I cannot make my Grandma laugh for the life of me.
My boss' brother married a Japanese woman. Although she is very attractive, she has the sense of humor of a brick.
I believe in you
Try Mr Bean movies. They love them.
@@bruddabrian7379I believe too. Keep at it Jimmie Collins
Ya Got to Love Rampage !
"Asking people to go there and ****" is a meme from an April Fool's news article. It's hilarious every time I hear somebody cite that like it's true 😂😂😂
Yep. Especially more so for those that know Japan’s strict stance on immigration and foreigners in general. Joe knows a lot of trivia but he is often off the mark though.
Years in the making
Can’t believe how “with it” he still is. What a bada$$.
I met Rampage, intimidating, but cool guy.
“Japan needs me to make babies”
Exactly what I would expect Rampage and Joe to be talking about 😅
That slam will forever be etched in my memory
Rampage is the reason I watch UFC today. 🤙🏻
I feel like people almost never give Ricardo Arona his flowers. He was really well-rounded. His hands weren't the greatest but he had great leg kicks, really good leg kicks to the body in really good cardio and obviously his jiu jitsu was top-notch. I would have loved him in the UFC. Imagine him pinning someone against the cage and elbowing the hell out of them?!?
