Leave it to Quinton Jackson to never have a dull moment before a fight. With UFC 144 on the horizon, and a matchup pending with Ryan Bader, the former Pride stalwart and UFC light heavyweight champion sounds off on all things MMA in an interview with Fighters Only.
Most interesting are his comments towards the current UFC commentary team, in particular Joe Rogan.
“You know he’s got good jiu-jitsu because he’s so biased against jiu-jitsu guys. You can hear it in his voice. Whenever a guy is a jiu-jitsu fighter he’s playing rusty trombone. I don’t think you should talk down, you should be neutral. When I used to fight in PRIDE, watch Bas Rutten and Stephen Quadros on commentary. Those guys were my good friends and you couldn’t even tell when they were doing commentary. We hung out outside of work sometimes, we were good friends but when I fought they weren’t biased towards me. They did their job. They weren’t biased towards skills or anything like that. That’s the way it should be. Sometimes you can hear him because Joe Rogan has one of those girly high-ass voices. I just wanna tell him to shut the fuck up sometimes.”
