Former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has been forced to admit that the UFC take better care of their fighters than PRIDE ever did, recalling you would have to take yourself to hospital over in Japan.
Speaking via Fighters Only Magazine, Jackson said:
“Yeah, [you would] take yourself to the hospital. I remember my people taking me to the hospital. I think [Pride] used to have a van there sometimes. But in the UFC if you get hurt even in practice for a fight, Dana will say ‘Come on, come to my doctor’ and they will pay for it.”
“The UFC is really good about that. That’s one thing I really like about the UFC compared to Pride, the UFC is really good like that. But if you got hurt in practice getting ready for a Pride fight… [laughs]. And if you got hurt in a fight, like I got my hand broken over there, they don’t care.”
Jackson has been on frosty terms with the UFC following his public falling out with them last year. Now he is set to return to action on May 29th at UFC 114 and settle his dispute once and for all with bitter rival, “Sugar” Rashad Evans.
