Back when Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson was fighting in the promotion, there was a serious flaw in his fighting style that was highlighted by Joe Rogan. What’s that? Well, the former light heavyweight champion was not throwing kicks as well as checking low kicks. The multi-million dollar podcaster emphasized that this was the reason for his defeats. Jackson at that time was furious by the statement and threw some harsh lingo against him but years have passed since that incident and ‘Rampage’ seems to be more humble now.

Rogan and Jackson recently had a conversation with one another on “JRE MMA Show 159” During the hours-long conversation, the duo jumped up to the topic again after years and this time ‘Rampage’s words were not as harsh as they were before. Let’s have a look at what the former light heavyweight champion said.

Joe Rogan and Rampage Jackson are on good terms with each other

“That’s why [when its time to talk to him] I’m like oh here comes Joe Rogan and he’s all fake in his face like he’s not just picked apart your whole game like he’s the best fighter in the world.” These were the words of Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson for Joe Rogan when they were beefing with each other. However, things changed years later when they met against the pretext of  ‘JRE MMA Show 159″ While having a camaraderie conversation Rogan emphasized, “I wanted you to throw more leg kicks. I see when you hit guys with leg kicks, it was devastating.”

Rampage Jackson suddenly remembered what he uttered about Rogan back in the day and immediately apologized to the podcaster for his rough words, The former light heavyweight champion said, “I got to apologize to you about that.” Well, as soon as ‘Rampage’ took the initiative to apologize, Rogan apologized as well, “I apologize to you too, its nothing personal” He said.

Jackson went deep on why he went bonkers on Rogan back in the day and the reason was not actually Rogan himself but the fans. “You didn’t hurt my feelings. It was nothing that you said. I’m gonna clear that up for you right now. It wasn’t nothing you said; it’s the f*cking fans. When you said that, they all came to me on my social media. So, I explain it to you this way” 

He further added, “If I had fought in Pride, I would check leg kicks if they were hard, but people in UFC, they weren’t really kicking that hard. No, their leg kicks weren’t that hard, so I take leg kicks. The reason why I wasn’t kicking that much was because they would have tried to take me down.” Well, things are pretty good between the MMA stars as of now. However, their banter was pretty brutal back in the day. Let us understand what transpired between them in depth.

The feud between Rampage and Jackson

Joe Rogan was commenting on Rampage Jackson’s performance when he was fighting. His comments about not using low kicks as well as high kicks to counter his opponents induced the fans to go against him. While having a conversation on the “No Jumper” podcast. ‘Rampage’ emphasized that he has a good relationship with Rogan, however, the podcaster should refrain himself from commenting unnecessarily.

“Joe and I, we’ve always been cool, but then after a couple fights in the UFC, he noticed that I wasn’t checking leg kicks and that I wasn’t throwing a lot of leg kicks so he got real voicy about it, and with social media, I had a lot of MMA fans talking s**t, talking about, ‘Man, you don’t know how to kick, and you don’t know how to check leg kicks.’ It just got annoying.” said Jackson.

Well, both of them have apologized to each other about the hubbub. What’s your take on the entire fiasco? State your thoughts in the comments below.
