Ex-UFC star Rampage Jackson shares bizarre theory on space: ‘The sun and moon are real, outer space is not’

UFC legend Rampage Jackson thinks outer space is fake.

Jackson went on Brendan Schaub’s podcast as the two started to talk about outer space when the former UFC champion gave an odd take. Jackson thinks that the sun and moon are real, but believes outer space is fake and is made up by scientists.

“That’s not the only thing they are selling you on. They selling you on space,” Jackson said when asked by Schaub about why scientists believe the planet is round (via Yardbarker). “The sun is real. The sun and the moon are real. But outer space is not.”

It is odd thinking by Rampage Jackson to think the moon and sun are real, but outer space is made up. Where the sun and moon are located to Jackson then is uncertain, but he isn’t buying that space is a real thing.
