MMA icon Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has voiced his backing for Conor McGregor amid recent controversy over his withdrawal from UFC 303. Despite facing backlash for pulling out of the event and skipping a press conference, McGregor has found an advocate in Jackson. Jackson believes that McGregor, with his financial stability, has the luxury to prioritize his well-being and avoid unnecessary stress.
At 46 years old, Jackson understands the physical toll of fighting and sees no need for McGregor to take risks when he has already accomplished a lot in his career. As he prepares for Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport Bushido competition, Jackson stresses the balance between fighting for passion and financial gain. He praises McGregor for his impact on MMA, highlighted by his boxing match against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and ventures into acting.
Jackson urges fans to look beyond McGregor’s recent controversies and appreciate his contributions to both sports and entertainment. McGregor’s success in mainstreaming MMA has won admiration from Jackson, who hopes McGregor will continue to thrive, whether in combat sports, Hollywood, or elsewhere. As a devoted supporter, Jackson eagerly anticipates McGregor’s future endeavors and accomplishments.
