Rampage walked his own path in Japan. Legend.

[@zigmej]

Just like Francis. But ended up fat and broke, taking fights in his 40ties without training. Maybe a legend but not exactly legendary.

[@a-q9414]

​@@zigmejwhat have you done? Boof cigarettes out your ass?

[@0414rohan]

@@zigmejronic you can call someone broke when no one know anyone financials lol

Rampage also taught English to Japanese fans. Great man 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

All the best wishes to rampage. Been a fan around 20 years, glad to see hes doing well.

Yea, and have a good time in paris!

Hes getting focused 🤯

​@@loadsheddingzimyou will also be one day if you live long enough, stop pretending like you won't

[@closinginonclosure]

You haven't been a very big fan if you're just now seeing he's doing well. Guy has done countless podcasts and posts on social media. You can't say you've been a fan for 20 years just because you heard about him 20 years ago but you obviously don't follow the guy at all

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

He had my attention when he was like "I got something I wanna say to everyone out there" I'm thinking it's gonna be something positive and inspirational or something then "Bring back fat shaming"

[@ayou4525]

Loll

[@definitelynotatroll246]

Worked on him anyway

[@Cico1127]

It's always a good time with these 2 gentlemen 🤙

[@EdEddington]

BLENDO!

[@Kookychild]

These two have the friendship that will last longer then the UFC! Love it!

[@kkrollingskkrollings3173]

Rampage had the best pre fight walk out in ufc history. The big chain on his neck and that mean cold look on his face and his houl like a wolf it was iconic. He was a animal

[@nomarlisod1602]

Best ending to an interview, genuine respect between both.

[@warrendunn4276]

What a Legend, Rampage belongs in the UFC Hall of Fame

[@alonzokincaid1362]

Rampage is looking like rampage!

[@BradyTaylor-wy5tu]

Absolutely 100%

[@montyrayza7220]

The fact that he is not yet in there is a travesty !!

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

Dana doesn't like fighters that have a brain and use it to their own benefit.

[@stevenincali3968]

He absolutely deserves to be in the UFC Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, it seems like you have to have had both a great career AND be in their good graces.

[@Compassiron1]

These 2 guys and their banter was a great part of the UFC story for people my age who grew up watching it. I slightly prefer those wilder UFC days to the new scrubbed-up Sports Centre style product

[@JahEerie]

The original MMA odd couple - Comedy GOLD 🤣

[@kalemmedjedoub3327]

“Chicks daydreaming about sitting on your nose” 😂😂😂

[@ryanfield1711]

What a nostalgic breath of fresh air this was... When ariel qouted rampage and said 'the cheddar makes it better' had me in stitches 😂

[@jonathanroche732]

Best duo in mma history

[@ShogunateDaimyo]

Rampage and Helwani interviews never disappoint....! I busted out laughing multiple times during my workout because of the chemistry of these two.

[@veluta2549]

We need more of these 2

[@Bretzille]

Rampage is still the man never has changed its great

[@jlev9391]

Rampage tossed 99 down the middle this whole interview 😂

[@mikepanayiotou6520]

I'm one of those who watched the original Rampage interviews when they first aired and is still my favourite duo in MMA.

[@JoeDuffy69s]

Always a great interview with Rampage. These 2 bring the best out of each other

[@Chiefffff]

This is yin and Yang my friend

[@haldir3120]

Good to hear from him again

[@areyoukitten7688]

Image Rampage and Strickland doing a podcast together...🔥😭😭

[@iamfishmind]

honestly this interview was beautiful

[@MarcosA2976]

The way these two mix is just great. The interaction between them is just so naturally fun, funny, entertaining, and in the end informative.

[@markcollins3950]

You 2 have a genuine friendship that has given some great moments through the years.... I love seeing you 2 together...

[@theguvnor3880]

Rampage should get back into movies.

[@EmmanueliAdzoh]

He said he was blackballed

[@Peppersfirst]

I liked him in A team.

[@Peppersfirst]

​@@EmmanueliAdzohThey probably wanted him to join the pedo party and he rejected them.

[@---df5sr]

Why?

[@EmmanueliAdzoh]

@@---df5sr cause ufc parent company is big time in hollywood and they blackballed him cause he was with another agency or because he left the ufc something along those lines

[@KimonoKenny]

I love how it became a 'tradition' of some sort now to always have Rampage on the show at least once a year 😁😁

[@The_RealDon]

Loved this interview. Rooting for you Rampage and I hope you do make a return

[@nickscarla-tl9xp]

A return? Hes going on 46 years old my dude. Just be happy with the memories of his fights we have. Let him chill n peace’

[@Jason_Voorhees.]

​@nickscarla-tl9xp I agree, he has absolutely nothing to prove. He has left his mark in the history of this sport.

[@The_RealDon]

@@nickscarla-tl9xp everyone has the right to their own opinion. He has said he wants to have one more fight in multiple interviews. You don’t have to watch if he has another fight.

[@christoffer912]

Not following the mma scene anymore but I always watch a rampage helwani interview. This is gold.

[@cwhall5430]

Always love it when it's the Rampages iShow💪💪💪 he dont need one organization to tell him , MMA and Prize fighting owes Rampage and his class much respect. The attraction he brought in countries built what we see today. All he wants, like all real men, is the respect.

[@dwdrum0073]

Those closing comments by Rampage were gold. 😅

[@solohere5608]

Rampage is hilarious. One of the trealist old school fighters.

[@Fckcommies]

I think most of the fighters that had fought in Japan alot seem to have the best of personalities.

[@jackwolstenholme8213]

Rampage funny as always 😂 ‘Sittin on yo nose’ 💀🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bobby6204]

Brilliant stuff, if you havnt seen the years of banter between these two, go and watch them, pure gold.

[@yungdagger2265]

Awh man what an interview, could easily listen to another couple hours of this

[@The_RealDon]

Ariel I hope you do help Rampage with the UFL. He definitely deserves it

[@ShogunateDaimyo]

Pin this comment.

Ariel belongs in the UFC Hall of Fame. He's been covering the sport on a big stage for the longest. His past interviews with Rampage are legendary.

[@judnichols]

He’s inquisitive, articulate, accurate, and hardworking. Doesn’t get enough credit imo.

LEGENDS. Both of you. Happy I grew up watching you back then

[@thesatisfiedcustomer4869]

Rampage out of all the top fighters of his generation still has pure charisma. Proper funny!

[@ClaimerUncut]

There will only ever be one Rampage Jackson, in and outside of the cage, and the newer generation of mma fans probably have no idea how this man set the foundation for having the gift of the gab.. But without the facade.

[@andrewdorfman4369]

These two been the dynamic duo since the beginning. Just classic!

[@urbaneurope]

Man that was hilarious, Rampage needs to come on way more often, they have great chemistry.

[@alanpanchobain3006]

awesome interview

[@vinnierkc]

what a legendary duo. thank you both guys

[@AerialEyesProduction]

I remember when Rampage started on twitch he rang Ariel at 2am to ask if he likes dragons. Fun times.

[@GregK97]

Rampage cooking Ariel the whole interview was hilarious 😂they should have him on more often lol

[@towb5495]

That interview was amazing ✌️

[@AzTreandwealth]

Ive been an MMA fan, and Rampage fan, since the days he was fighting the likes of keith jardine, rashad, chuck, forrest griffin etc. I saw those fights live and remember the pre-fight and post-fight interviews with Ariel. I certainly remember the ups and downs between the two but man, I can imagine it has created a lot of memories for the two. These two really are an amazing duo and hold a unique chemistry which makes me smile. One of the best things to see is after all these years, these two now have a great level of admiration for each other (even though Rampage will prob never admit it 😂). Im also proud of Rampage for all that he is doing in his life at the moment. Im glad hes getting himself into better shape and looking after himself. He gave me plenty of laughs and entertainment so it warms my heart to know hes in a good place!!!

[@UnholyDarkness587]

Love this interview.

People like rampage are the stars that the ufc used to grow into what it is now, it is disgusting how they arent cared for later on imo, especially the likes of rampage cos he really did alot of promoting them worldwide n was THE star of the ufc, ive seen a few interviews with u 2 in the past n must say this was the warmest 1 yet, good to see imo.

[@stevenincali3968]

He was a star in Pride. But, yeah. The UFC used to do a much better job of promoting fighters that drew fans in. I wouldn’t even say they did enough for Conor. He already had the personality (and the skills, back then) to promote himself.

[@donovanschoor1473]
