Quinton Jackson wants to box Wanderlei Silva, ‘Axe Murderer’ welcomes the challenge

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson may be the latest veteran to be transitioning to boxing, and he would like to take another one with him. In an interview on YouTube channel No Jumper, Rampage’expressed his desire to take on longtime rival Wanderlei Silva for a fifth time.

Quinton already owns two knockout wins over Silva, one at Bellator 206 and one at UFC 92. Before the wins though, Jackson lost to Wanderlei twice during the Pride days, getting knocked out at Pride 28 and Pride Final Conflict 2003. Now, the 44-year-old wishes to settle the dispute once and for all.
