[autotag]Quinton Jackson[/autotag] is looking to make a major transformation.
Jackson (38-14 MMA, 5-3 BMMA) came in at a career-high 265 pounds this past weekend for his Bellator 237 fight against Fedor Emelianenko.
“Rampage” was heavily criticized for looking slow and out of shape, and ultimately paid the price for it as he suffered a first-round TKO loss, the first time he was stopped with strikes since 2005. Afterward, Jackson owned up to being overweight and said he “felt like a hippopotamus” during the fight.
Disappointed with his showing, Jackson said he plans on getting back in shape. He will be documenting his weight loss journey, encouraging fans to join him (via Instagram).
Much love to my team and family and sponsors, defeat is a hard pill to swallow… but it’s part of the job. Hate letting my people and fans down,maybe this won’t be my last loss but it will be the last time i defeat myself. I’m gonna Document my weight loss Journey, if you feel uncomfortable with your weight do it with me. Tag me in your posts of you working out and eating clean. Love you all👊🏾
During Bellator 237 fight week, Jackson, 41, said he planned to keep fighting. It appears that train of thought hasn’t changed, either.
“Rampage” intends on fighting again at light heavyweight, the division in which he was once UFC champion. Jackson went 2-3 in his recent return to heavyweight, but he appears to be done with that division.
