Profile

Rampage Jackson is a master of slams. He knows to lift his opponent in the air and throw him hard on the ground in Matt Hughes style. He uses his brute force to escape the submission attempts. Just remember how he evaded triangle choke versus Ricardo Arona – he picked him up while Arona was busy working on a triangle choke and executed his world-class “power bomb”!
