Earlier this week Quinton “Rampage” Jackson took to twitter to vent. The former UFC Light Heavyweight champion said that he would only fight one more fight for the UFC. At the time it seemed as if perhaps it was Jackson taking his loss to Ryan Bader especially hard.

The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV has been a staple of mixed martial arts for 7 years, and in that time frame we’ve seen pretty much everything.

When he stepped foot in the Octagon in November he and his opponent, Mauricio Rua delivered one of the best main events in UFC history going toe to toe for the full 25 minutes

Jon Jones was 6-0 when he first stepped into the Octagon, defeating Andre Gusmao via unanimous decision at UFC 87.  From there he went on to defeat Stephan Bonnar, again securing a unanimous decision.  After that, none of his fights would go the distance and his only loss would be a disqualification for delivering 12 to 6 elbows to Matt Hamill in their December 2009 match up.

Following his loss to Carlos Condit at UFC 143, Nick Diaz implied that he would be leaving the sport of MMA. The legitimacy of that claim was put into question when his drug test came back with marijuana metabolites, earning him a temporary license suspension pending a hearing with the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
