The year 2023 is witnessing the comeback of some of the outstanding fighters who took a break from combat sports. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Jon Jones come back to the octagon to fight Ciryl Gane at UFC 285. Now that just a few more hours are left for the bout, the fans are reacting to the comeback of another fighter who was once an opponent of ‘Bones’. It is the return of Quinton Jackson that has now excited the fans. However, ‘Rampage’ is not coming back to either the UFC or Bellator, but to the Fight Circus.

The last bout of the former UFC star was at Bellator 237 against the MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko. The bout turned out to be one of ‘Rampage’s most disappointing fights. However, there is no doubt that Jackson, with 38 victories and 14 losses, has contributed largely to the growth of MMA as a sport all around the world. At present, the 44-year-old fighter is yet again ready to give a shot at combat sports, but in a unique promotion.

Fans react to the return of Quinton Jackson.

The MMA legend is now going to try his hand at the Fight Circus. According to their official website, the Thailand-based promotion wants to promote MMA throughout Thailand and Southeast Asia. The promotion has crossed all the boundaries that any MMA promotion has followed. The previous events of the Fight Circus stood out for a number of reasons. In a previous event of Fight Circus, the co-owner of the promotion, Joe Nutt, was seen participating in a two-versus-one fight with modified MMA rules. They also conducted fights in a “living room” setting. There were also bouts that included a game show-style spinning wheel.

 Here is what fans said about ‘Rampage’ moving to Fight Circus

One of the fans was eager to watch Fight Circus if they stayed true to their advertisements.

 “Oh man if this promotion is anything like this advertisement, I’ll be tuning in.”

 “Another fan found the humor in the announcement.”

“Has joined the circus is a fucking hilarious way of saying this.”

One of the fans commented that Jackson is behind money

“Needs to take a financial stability course.”

 One of the fans pointed out how ‘Rampage’ lost to Jones in 2011 at UFC 135, and now Jones is up to a new milestone.

 “12 years ago he was challenging Jon Jones to LHW title. Now Jon is about to get the HW title.”

One of the netizens praised the guts of Jackson, saying that he is still ready to fight. Furthermore, he mentioned his last bout against Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator 237 was difficult to watch.

“I remember watching all the Pride events with my brother and Rampage was my favourite fighter. Now I’m in my 30s and rampage is still fighting but has a bigger gut than I do. That Fedor fight was painful to watch.”

 Another fan mentioned what makes Fight Circus different.

“I just Googled Fight Circus and the first video that came up was two guys in a Fight Circus branded ring, boxing while wearing jeans and button downs.”

 One of the fans asked the 44-year-old fighter to retire.

“Jesus Christ retire already”

‘Rampage’ has himself said on several occasions that he is not happy with his bout against Emelianenko. Consequently, he wants to fight more to quench his thirst for more victories. After 2016, the only victory he had was against Wanderlei Silva at Bellator 206 in September 2018.
