 |  Subject: UFC 135 hype begins with good trash talk between Jones and ‘Rampage’ Wed Jul 20, 2011 7:41 pm | |

- Where's the hook? Some fans may have
asked that question when the Jon Jones-Quinton "Rampage" Jackson fight
was announced for UFC 135.
After watching today's press conference in Denver, there's certainly
some great angles we'll be discussing before the October fight - Old vs.
young, washed up vs. overhyped along with who's cockier?
Rampage brought his top notch trash talking skills to Denver. He got off some doozies which included mocking Jones (GIF) for his unorthodox staredown.Jackson said Jones reminds him of his former reality show adversary Rashad Evans.
"Him and Rashad got something in common. They're both really cocky.
I'm confident, very confident in myself. There's a difference. Last
time I was this confident, I knocked someone [Chuck Liddell] out in the
first round and got that belt," Jackson said during the prefight press
conference right outside the Pepsi Center . "I've been working hard,
training and doing all the right things, all the stuff I need to be
doing. That belt's coming back to me, for real."
Jackson also tried to diminish the Jones' win that got him the UFC light heavyweight title.
"I just have to say, straight up, I respect you dog. I do think you
are the future of MMA, straight-up. I'm keeping it real. But you fought
[Mauricio] 'Shogun' Rua when he was rusty as hell. He hadn't fought for
a year. He had like two knee surgeries."
Jones suggested there will also be excuses from folks after he beats Jackson.
"He didn't fight the PRIDE Rampage, he fought the movie-star Rampage, so there will always be excuses," said Jones.
Then Jackson went on the offensive over being called old by some fans and media.
"I'm only 33. Goodness. You all act like I'm Randy Couture's decrepit old ass, Jackson said. Yahoo Sports I thought the pose Rampage did with Jones was friggin PRICELESS! I was laughing my ass off when he did it. I predict Jones is going down, HARD! | |

| Jones is gonna ram his ding dong up Rampage's bum bum without breaking a sweat.
Also, Rampage, although funny at times, is a twat. | |
