UFC 186 and my dad
My buddy, Rampage Jackson, is fighting tomorrow night in UFC 186. He had a hard road getting there. The promoter he was fighting for sued him and got an injunction to prevent him from fighting in this fight. He won an emergency appeal on Tuesday and flew to Canada on Wednesday (that's where UFC 186 is). It should be an exciting fight! His opponent likes to brawl so that should make it exciting.
I know I haven't said anything to you guys but my dad passed away last week. Before he passed, I flew to TX a couple of times when my dad was in the hospital. The last time, Rampage sent my dad a video wishing him well. It really lifted my dad's spirits (he was a fan).
Anyway, as soon as Rampage found out he was going to fight, he texted me and let me know. He told me he'd be kicking ass for my dad.
So if anyone watches this fight, just know, that it has a special meaning to me.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

Bummer man, sorry for your loss.
Rampage seems like a cool dude, I have a few people who know him, I'm jelly, I'd love to spar with him.

This is what mmamania.com had to say about the fight:
Quote:
After nearly losing out on his chance at fighting at UFC 189 due to a court injunction that was eventually overturned, "Rampage" put on one of his best and most well-rounded performances in his illustrious mixed martial arts (MMA) career.
Jackson's punches were crisp, and when Maldonado asked for more punishment, "Rampage" was happy to oblige. Heck, the former champ even threw a few head kicks!

And this is a text exchange we had this morning.

Rampage is a very cool guy. He's also into cars. He got a Hellcat as part of his signing bonus for signing with the UFC. I tease him that I have the Hellcat killer. I made a T-shirt for him.
