Mixed Martial Arts icon Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has recently shed light on a harrowing experience from his tenure in the legendary PRIDE Fighting Championships. Jackson alleges that prior to his highly anticipated bout against Japanese grappling legend Kazushi Sakuraba, the promotion mandated an extreme and dangerous weight cut. According to Jackson, he was forced to shed a staggering nearly 30 pounds in an astonishingly brief three-hour period. He vividly recalled the brutal ordeal, describing the process and its aftermath as feeling ‘poisoned.’
