“Tito didn’t wear underwear that day” – Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson reveals bizarre incident which turned him away from BJJ forever

Despite being widely regarded as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time and a pioneer in the growth of the sport, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson recently disclosed that he does not incorporate Brazilian jiu-jitsu into his training, despite his immense success in the UFC light heavyweight division.

During his JAXXON PODCAST, Jackson spoke with special guest Kade Ruotolo and expressed:

“I remember the day when I stopped liking jiu-jitsu. When I was training with Tito [Ortiz] and apparently, he didn’t wear underwear that day and you know those shorts that he wears? [Shakes head] And one of his scrotums was hanging out while he was doing jiu-jitsu. I tapped – true story, I tapped from that. After that, I said I’m done with jiu-jitsu. Real talk.”

Jackson went on to say:

“I tapped due to scrotum. Who does that?… I was like, oh my god. It’s slow motion, coming towards my forehead. I’m like [symbolizes tapping]. I’m not letting Tito teabag me and I tapped out… See, he understands why I don’t f**k with jiu-jitsu like that no more.”

The exact timing of the incident involving Ortiz that caused Jackson to cease his jiu-jitsu training is uncertain.

Despite being scheduled to face each other at Bellator 106, Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson and Tito Ortiz never got the chance to fight due to Ortiz’s neck injury which forced him to withdraw from the bout. Despite this, the two were close friends and trained together as partners.

During his JAXXON Podcast, ‘Rampage’ commended ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ while speaking with guest Khalil Rountree Jr.

“I remember training with Tito and no one, at that time, no one trained harder than Tito back in the day. I used to be in all his training camps… I learned a lot from Tito – stuff I don’t talk about. I learned a lot from Tito. I always look up to Tito. He’s like a big bro to me. The way I learned – I learned what to do and what not to do just from watching the same person.”
