Here is a shocker. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson announced his retirement from the UFC on his personal blog on Tuesday. He had said he was taking a hiatus to persue a role in the new movie 'A-Team'. Now he says that we wants to retire saying that he has had so many injuries that he couldn't continue to fight into his forties anyhow. He is only thirty-one years old.
He says he wants to persue an acting career and hopes that his loyal fans will follow him.

"The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them," Jackson wrote on his personal Web site. "My body has been getting so many different injuries that I won't be able to fight until my forties and neither do I want to fight that long. So I feel like my second career could be in jeopardy.. so I'm done fighting."

"Rampage" has been a big part of what the UFC is and he has been big in Las Vegas.
I wish him well with his decision to hang up the fighting and try something new.
