Last night, before a sold-out crowd of 16, 235 at the O2 Arena in London England, it took 25 minutes for Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson to become the first man in mixed martial arts history to unify a major title, decisioning Dan Henderson over five hard-fought rounds to defend his UFC light heavyweight championship and take home Henderson’s PRIDE 205-pound belt in the process.
“A lot of people don’t know that I’ve got Jiu-Jitsu,†said Jackson, whose ability to fight on the ground with the two-time Olympic wrestler may have been the deciding factor in the bout, which was scored 48-47 and 49-46 twice. With the win, Jackson improves to 30-6. For a post fight interview, photos, and full results from UFC 75 check out UFC.com.
