Rampage has thyroid issue, unsure about making 205

[Wild]

Quinton Jackson's time at light heavyweight might be over.

"Rampage" told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that he has diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, which makes him gain weight more rapidly than normal. Jackson said because of that he might never fight at 205 pounds again.

"I've been dealing with this for like a year," Jackson said. "I've been keeping it kind of to myself. It kind of bummed me out. If I don't stay on top of it, I gain weight really fast. That's what's been going on. I've been noticing after my fights I've just been gaining more weight fast, I didn't know what was going on."

Ahh the old thyroid issue. Most popular excuse that I hear from the heavies at the gym.

Definitely couldnt be the beer and the non stop video gaming that he does.

Thyroid=chocolate

Remember Dolce saying he was sneaking them into camp one time!

Maybe he does have a thyroid issues, but ffs...in the post fight press conference, the guy flat out said "I havent trained at all in the past year. All I've done is play video games and drink beer." And he weighed in at what? 223? He could still make LHW if he wants to put a little work in IMO.

The fat chick excuse......

Rampage is the fat chick.

There's this one fat ass lady who works where I work. I remember we were in the break room one time and she mentioned that she had thyroid problems and that is why she is as big as she is.

Funny thing is every time I'm in the break room, she is eating an it's it ice cream sandwich and drinking a Diet Pepsi.

On topic, rampage has a lack of motivation problem.

Next he will say he is too big boned to make 205.

I believe him yo.

 

[Wild]

He just doesn't want to train lol

 

[RaginCajun]

He did not perform well at heavyweight in his last fight.
Time for him to start training or use his fame and go the Bob Sapp route.

Anyone remember that video of him years ago. Think it was with Rogan on the back of a pickup with him saying he loves junk food, hated dieting. I always wondered when it would catch up to him.

Seems no IV usada rampage is less rampage more fatpage. That shit joke sums up my emotions on this topic

 

[benjo0101]

I miss him being hilarious. Might go watch rush hour again

 

[Robbie Hart]

I'm not going to listen again but I swear I heard him say he got up to 245 after rehydrating this last fight.....also swear he said he got up to 285 recently......maybe I will go back and listen

 

[Robbie Hart]

Yes, he said he was 280 at the beginning of camp........
