Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson says Khabib Nurmagomedov blocked him on Instagram: "I say some fu*ked up sh*t"
MMA legend and former UFC light-heavyweight champ Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recently said some interesting things about him and fellow MMA legend and former UFC champ, Khabib Nurmagomedov. In a recent podcast guesting with popular teenage social media personality Matan Even, 'Rampage' revealed that 'The Eagle' blocked him on Instagram years ago.
As to why the Russian MMA royalty would block such a nice and wholesome guy like 'Rampage', it's best to have the American KO king explain it himself:
'Khabib [Nurmagomedov] blocked me on Instagram years ago before I even met him so I don't see him doing any business with me.'
When asked by Even why Khabib Nurmagomedov would do that, Jackson explained:
"I have no idea. Maybe because of my personality coz I say some f**ked up s**t. I know he's very religious."
The punchline came when Even speculated further as to what 'Rampage' may have said that drew the ire of 'The Eagle'. The former UFC light-heavyweight king then hilariously said:
"I think I probably pronounced his [last] name wrong coz I'm bad with pronouncing names...I think I pronounced him Khabib N***a-run-off"
What makes 'Rampage' such a beloved figure in the MMA world is the fact that you never know if he's joking or being sarcastic or is deadly serious. We will safely chalk this up to Jackson's long list of classic jokes. But then again, we might be wrong.

The UFC releases unfiltered audio of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor, with no commentary
The UFC recently released footage of MMA's most-watched and arguably most notorious main event bout ever, UFC 229's Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor.
The bout, which had a very controversial build-up featuring below-the-belt trash-talk and an actual assault charge, saw 'The Eagle' submitting 'The Notorious' with a neck crank in the fourth round. But perhaps even more famous than the fight itself was the immediate aftermath, as a massive brawl between the two camps transpired in the arena.
The new footage audibly revealed some chilling words said by Nurmagomedov as he was pounding the face of McGregor, who said some incendiary words pre-fight.
'The Eagle' said in the footage:
"Huh? What happened? Let's talk now."
Here's the official footage as released by the UFC on YouTube:
