Rampage Jackson is still smoking cigarettes says Kevin Iole: [photo is from May 2007 with Joe Rogan]
"I’ll favor Jackson in this fight, as well. He isn’t close to being in shape now, though his Muay Thai coach, Dave Jackson, insists he’s already working hard. But I saw him in Australia and he looked plenty plump to me. I was also surprised to see him smoking a cigarette. But if Rampage is in shape and committed, I think he’s definitely the favorite."

Didn’t Saku smoke like a pack a day?

some dudes are just crazy like that
i went to military school for my last 2 years of high school and my barracks’ head officer was this retired Army Major, Major Childs, who defied logic, at least for a while. He was 50 and had been smoking like 2 packs a day for 20 years, but also ran 8 miles and jumped rope for and hour every day. This was about 7 years ago; dude was a machine, but he ended up dying of a heart attack while running 2 years ago.

Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
I think Ichiro used to be a heavy smoker, too, and was still one of the fastest players in MLB

True, but he covers some distance in right field at Safeco

Nice training regimen
Meanwhile…back at the batcave…Rashad has been and is continuing to train like mad for this fight.
"To me, MMA is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other."
Maybe its because...
he’s part machine. HE’S A MONSTER!!
The man known simply as "Christmas Cheesesteak"
Nope
He’s just a Milford Man.

Rampage is tailor made to crush Rashad. Its too bad hes had such a long layoff or it would be an easy money play.
How did I end up on this bandwagon and why does everything say property of Chael Sonnen?
His wrestling is good enough to neutralize, his chin is crazy, he doesn’t gas (better quite smoking!) and he’s one of the 5 hardest hitters in MMA, coupled with some real good boxing. I love me some Rampage, and feel great about this fight

I just remember seeing how much bigger Rampages head was than Rashad's on TUF.
I’ll take Rampage with that noggin, cigarettes or not. You’d have to hit him with a hammer to put him down.

i don't think Rampage has the luxury of screwing around in training.
Rashad, while often the target of criticism, isn’t a joke. Rampage should win, but people said the same about the Griffin debacle.
Speaking of Griffin, just think if you could infuse Forrest’s spirit and work ethic into Rampage? MMA would damn near be illegal.
by ScooterMagruder on Feb 23, 2010 4:18 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough...
Rampage’s physical gifts and talents PLUS Griffin’s yeoman’s efforts.
That make more sense?

re: Wait, so Rampage with worse boxing who leaves his chin up?
Who says Rampage has worse boxing than Rashad? I’ve read and heard quite the opposite.
I agree
People hate on Rashad, but he wouldn’t have done as well for himself as he has if he was a garbage fighter, while conversely, we’ve seen Rampage in fights where his head wasn’t in the game, like against Griffin.
If Rampage actually trains and takes the fight seriously, which I’m continuously doubting, he wins.
Otherwise, it’s another notch on Rashad’s belt as he gets back into title contention.
DAMMIT RAMPAGE
you could be one of the best ever you ugly bastard. Quit smoking, eating bullshit, and being lazy for fucks sake. You already didn’t show at what may have been my only live event, don’t piss away the rest of what’s been a great career. I know you’re not reading this but shit I’m pissed ARRRGGGHHH MATT SMASH
I'm the best ever. You're the most average in a minute.

I’m sure the smoking is just a side-effect of being out of the ring for so long while filming the movie and would think he’ll drop the habit before he starts his camp for rashad
but he could smoke a carton a day and mix in a little crack while he’s at it and i’d still bet the house on him against rashad and most of the other top LHW’s in the UFC, he’s a force pure and simple
and if you couldn’t already guess, much like RDS, i also love me some rampage
I got room for you in the Rampage War Wagon
