Im not sayin he isn't though, I just havent seen enough of him speaking to judge that. But he seems like a cool dude, hope he recovers from this and gets his belt back; It'd be a shame if he didn't, honestly. Go to wikipedia and type in "Quinton Jackson".

I hope his condition improves immediately. He is one of the most charismatic fighters in mma and he can become the Champ again if he sets his mind to it.

I've been there myself. I think he feels like he has caused his own downfall, and is having a hard time handling the situation. No one should ever have to go through those feelings, and i hope he turn it around. My heart goes out to Mr. Jackson and his family. My support goes out to him, not as a fighter but as a man.

I've seen this with a close family member. I’d guess that Rampage began to go into a depression after the fight but then worked himself out of it, either through prescription anti-depressants or by self-medicating through lack of sleep and too much caffeine and/or other stimulants. Depression makes you crash, and feel like crap, so bi-polar people who have experienced depression in the past feel it coming on and then they do everything in their power to reverse it. Unfortunately, the result is that you swing too far the other way and become manic, which is what you just saw: rambling speech, a bizarre optimism that leaves you cold because it's such obvious denial ("this loss is the best thing that ever happened to me, even though I think I won"), and quite often an over emphasis on forces bigger than oneself (for religious people it's God). What you saw here, though, is just the beginning. By the time Rampage was picked up by police I guarantee you that his speech had gone from rambling to frantic and his denial and God obsession had morphed into the paranoid idea that everyone was against him and wanted to bring him down and couldn’t see that God had changed him for the better. Sad to see, but perfectly treatable, on the condition that you can convince the person that they are indeed bi-polar (which is tough once the paranoia kicks in, especially since it actually feels good to be manic in comparison with the over-riding fear of sinking into depression). I wish the best for the guy. From my experience, this looks like a case of bi-polar disorder. I’ve seen this with a close family member.

The Griffin-Jackson fight wasn't controversial at all, Forest destroyed him. No one with any understanding of MMA or even decent eyesight for that matter could contend that Jackson won the fight in any way, and even though it sucks to lose the title on a decision, he plainly lost the fight. Someone fire this interviewer, no cocksuckers allowed in MMA I’m sure its been said 100 times, but could that guy kiss ass anymore?

People going through depression are more likely to try/use the drug MDMA. from a personal experience, I think he might be on XTC or X/E… the way he talks, his willingness to share “the truth”, his constant and quick talking, him being all religious, his eye wiggles near the end of the video.

And king your a retard if you think that is an L he is twisting. how about Quinton Jackson messed Quinton Jackson up.
