A biography for Quinton Jacksonhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm not a pro wrestler. I don't have what I'm supposed to say written for me.”
“Take Wanderlei Silva, everybody knows we don't like each other, but if he's fighting I'm going to watch because he's a very exciting fighter. I'm a Wanderlei Silva fan, but Sonnen, I don't know why people watch him. They probably watch him to hear his interview after his fight.”
“If I do a reality show, it'll have to be a real reality show. I can't do a scripted reality show.”
“When you're in the public eye and do interviews, your words get twisted and people put you in a negative light.”
“When the going gets tough, the leeches are nowhere to be found, but the real people - the real friends - are with you through thick and thin.”
“I want to avoid every punch you throw at me, but I'm not scared to get hit. But I'm not just going to let everybody hit me.”
“Acting is kind of gay. It makes you soft. You got all these people combing your hair and putting a coat over your shoulders when you're cold. I don't want a coat over my shoulders!”
“Fighters are my comrades. There are a lot of them with great personalities, they're great fighters, and they should be lifted up a little bit more. I just wish MMA would do that.”
“Victory means I knocked someone out, that I got paid, and that I'll be able to get it to my kids.”
“I know why I lost my fight to Ryan Bader. Because I was injured. I needed surgery but I didn't want to back out because I was fighting in Japan.”
“Honestly, if I gave my thoughts on the match-making in the UFC, Joe Silva probably wouldn't even talk to me anymore, so I'm going to keep quiet on that.”
“In America, you've got a lot of fair-weather fans, who be cheering for you hard and as soon as you lose a fight, you're a bum and then they come at you on social media and they give you a lot of slack.”
“I remember when I fought Kevin Randleman, I was so wary about him taking me down, I figured it if he takes me down, was going to be so hard for me to get back up because he's just so good at ground and pound and keeping you on your back and it takes so much energy to get back up.”
“I would have to honestly say that my biggest regret is even starting this sport. I think I would've lived a different life if I would've stayed home in Memphis and worked at the family business. I'd be closer to my family and growing old with them instead of living out at California.”
“A lot of times you do interviews and people twist your words. TMZ said something like I hate my male fans. I never said that, I said I wish I had more female fans, never said I hate male fans.”
“I like to see my hand raised at the end of the night. I like when the ref raises my hand. That's why I shave my armpits like the professionals wrestlers. I like to see my arm raised.”
“If promoters figure out a way to keep the fighters happy then those fighters will tell other fighters and that promotion will win.”
“You sign a contract for a reason. You're bound by law to do what you say you're going to do.”
“I don't want to look like all the other fighters. I've been proud to not be or act or look like any other fighters.”
“If I'm the promoter and I've got a fighter named 'Rampage' who likes to slam people and knock them out, the last thing I would do is put him in a fight with someone who's good at holding people down.”
