Steven Seagal Was "More Impressed" with Rampage Jackson Than Jon Jones

Mike HodgesJun 5, 2018

Jon Jones successfully defended the light heavyweight title against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 135 and he did it with relative ease. The 24-year-old champion's performance not only solidified his status among the light heavyweight division, but arguably one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts. 

While the win erased all the doubt regarding Jones' skills and ability, there were a few who were quick to judge his overall performance, mainly Steven Seagal. 

Seagal, who is an occasional attendee at UFC events, gave his opinion on the main event and praised Jones for his dominant win. But Seagal was quick to point out the performance of Jones' opponent, Jackson, and felt he was more impressive.

"I was more impressed with Rampage," Seagal said. 

"That was the best head movement I have ever seen him do. If he would of let his hands go, that would of been something."

Seagal added that while Jones' talent cannot be denied, the 24-year-old's performance left him a little underwhelmed and believed Jones was more capable of putting on a better fight.

Jones' dominance over the light heavyweight division has continued to grow with three consecutive wins over of some of the sport's top competitors. His next title defense will come against former teammate, Rashad Evans. Their heated rivalry has been well-documented and Evans will certainly serve as an intriguing opponent, due to their past friendship and time spent together training at Greg Jackson's MMA

Seagal's analysis over Jones' performance could be justified. "Bones," while he did dictate the entire bout against Jackson, he did not necessarily dominate in the fashion like most fans had thought he would.

Regardless, Jones' win was impressive and left little doubt that he is the best light heavyweight in the world.
