A reporter working for Gaurdian Unlimited, a UK-based newspaper, had a chance to catch up with UFC champion Quinton Jackson yesterday and spoke with him candidly where we learned a few intersting things about the popular MMA star. 

In regards to the ladies in London, Quinton said,

“They said that women here weren’t good-looking. I went out last night and I saw a whole bunch of good-looking women. I didn’t know you guys had so many Asian women. Y’all don’t know anything about me - I like Asian women. I’ve just been over in Japan with Pride - I was like a kid in a candy store, I should’ve been paying them to keep me out there.”

Another gem from Rampage regarding women (his response to being asked his favorite Disney Movie):

Maybe Aladdin. I don’t know what other movies they make, but I like that one. [Huge grin] I like Jasmine. I love Jasmine.

And what is the origin of that big ass chain he wears around his neck?…..

The Rumble Chain? I started kinda late with wrestling in high school, and I wasn’t doing so well - I lost my first five matches in a row, and my little brother said ‘wear this chain for good luck…’ and told me it might intimidate some of my opponents. Sure enough, when I wore the chain I went all the way to the regional finals. And I went on to place sixth in state with less wrestling experience than anyone in the tournament.
