Quinton's trajectoryRampage' Jackson in MMA may be close to the end. In an interview with the program 'MMA Hour', the fighter revealed that he may hang up his gloves in 2017, and that the duel against King mo, scheduled for Bellator 175, March 31, is the last of his contract, which could mean the final chapter of his career. However, his continuity in the fighting world depends on his success in another professional field.

“If my work on TV picks up, I will retire from fighting. If not, I will finish my contract, finish my things and then retire”, said Quinton, who concluded by explaining why he would not agree to return to the UFC.
“I don’t want to look like all the other fighters. I've always been proud that I don't look like anyone else. I don’t want to have to wear the same clothes as everyone else,” he concluded, referring to the Reebok uniforms that athletes from Dana White’s company are required to wear.
At 38, Rampage hasn't fought since June 2016, when he beat the Japanese Satoshi Ishii by split decision, in the main fight of Bellator 157. Previously, he had overcome Fabio Maldonado at UFC 186, in April 2016, when he returned to Ultimate after having three fights in Bellator. Quinton won the UFC light heavyweight belt in 2007, when he knocked out Chuck Liddell at UFC 71. In total, he has a record of 37 wins and 11 losses in his career.
