Carlos Arias of the Orange County Register had a chance to visit Quinton Jackson’s training camp in Big Bear California during a “media day.”  He’s written a pretty lenghty report of his trip and here are some of the more interesting insights he uncovered.

- In preparation for his UFC title fight with Dan Henderson, Rampage has been sparring with Michael Bisping, Cheick Kongo, and Brandon Vera.  He also has spent a couple of weeks training with Couture in Las Vegas.

- Rampage’s trainer, Juanito Ibarra, said that Wanderlei Silva and Mauricio Rua had a little “extra help” when they beat Rampage and the outcome will be different if they fight again in the US.

-  Juanitio wants Jackson to take 6 months off after his fight with Henderson.

- Bisping and Rampage has forged a bit of a friendship after “sharing some pints together.”

-  Juanito thinks Bisping is destined to be a UFC champion.

-  Michael Bisping believes he could drop down to 185lbs.
