Joe Rogan said that the emblematic slam ko of the legend of MMA “ could be the most difficult to have ever been touched ”
That day in 2004, an MMA legend delivered one of the most devastating Knockuts of all time.
It doesn’t take long to understand why Quinton “ Rampage ” Jackson was one of the biggest sports stars when he was at his peak.
His personality has certainly helped, but it was his ruthless power that really helped him climb to the summit both to pride and the UFC.
While Jackson has his favorite UFC KO, with regard to his time in Japan, there is a culminating point which is clear above the others.
After Jackson demolished Masaaki Satake by slamming him in the ground, he was going to record the most emblematic finish of his career two years later by producing an even brutal slam.
Joe Rogan underlined the damage that Ricardo Arona suffered when they were criticized by Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson
That day in 2004, Quinton `Rampage ” Jackson entered Pride Critical Countdown trying to continue a revenge match with his great rival, Wanderlei Silva.
He was twinned with the specialist in the submission Ricardo Arona, who had struck the ground during Japanese promotion, winning three in a row after beating Guy Mezger, Dan Henderson and Murilo Rua.
Beyond the 7-minute brand, Arona sought to lock a triangle on her back which seemed to tighten around “unleashing”.
Jackson’s response to the threat of submission was to use his pure power to lift his opponent in the air before bringing him to the carpet with a devastating impact.
Arona was instantly knocked out after her head crashed into the canvas, with Joe Rogan reflecting on arrival during an episode of the Jre MMA show alongside Jackson.
The commentator of the UFC continued by saying that this slam could be the most difficult blow that anyone who has ever taken in mixed martial arts.
“You have your whole body like that and it is above your head. It is so much strength. It may be the most difficult that anyone has ever been touched in this sport because look at the amount of trip it does. Bro, you have done it at 12 feet in the air, look at this. It goes straight, and you were powerful like F-at the time.”
Joe Rogan said Ricardo Arona has never been the same again after being criticized by Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson
During an episode of the Joe Rogan experience, Rogan again talked about KO, once again highlighting the amount of damage that Ricardo Arona suffered.
“I mean the guy could certainly have died. He probably obtained the worst trauma, the worst brain trauma. ”
Rogan went so far as to say that this Knockout has completely changed the career of Arona, although the Brazilian was able to bounce back from this defeat by winning four games in a row, beating tastes of Kazushi Sakuraba and Wanderlei Silva to go to the final of the 2005 average weight price.
“It was the worst and this guy was never the same again,” said Rogan. “Ricardo Arona has never been the same again.”
