Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson talks ‘Lord of the Streets,’ McKee, Silva, MMA, pro wrestling and more
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson continues to add to his impressive legacy.
He’s won a UFC championship and a Pride championship, helping pioneer MMA’s growth into the mainstream. He was involved briefly in professional wrestling, something he enjoyed as a kid in Memphis.
Junkyard Dog, The Moondogs, the Ultimate Warrior, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant were some of his favorites back in the day. Pro wrestling is a combination of athleticism, stunt work, physicality and acting.
Well, Jackson is also an actor, and his latest endeavor has him co-starring in the new action movie “Lord of the Streets,” (TV-MA) available on Tubi, a FOX Entertainment streaming service.
Jackson is the villain, the lord of the streets in this 90-minute action-drama, which premiered on Tubi on April 22, 2022.
In my video interview with “Rampage” Jackson, he discusses the movie, his character portrayal in it, working with MMA fighters AJ McKee and Anderson Silva in the movie, MMA, celebrity boxing, former pro boxing champ Shannon Briggs, being a pro wrestling fan in Memphis, his brief pro wrestling stint, his start in acting, co-starring in the movie “The A-Team,” Mr. T, and more.
Rampage portrays the villain Kane (not the WWE legend) in this MMA and bare knuckle fighting style flick.
