Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recently shared his thoughts on action star Steven Seagal and made a revelation on what he is like on the film set. He noted that the Aikido master's actions have resulted in him not having the best of reputations.
Jackson achieved a great deal of success in his MMA career including winning the UFC light heavyweight championship. In addition to his legendary career, 'Rampage' has also transitioned into film, most notably starring in 'The A-Team', and has interacted with many respected actors in the industry.
During an MMA news episode of his JAXXON PODCAST, Jackson shed light on Seagal's martial arts background and revealed that he has heard stories about the action star taking liberties with the stunt team. 'Rampage' mentioned that ego is to blame as the action star has a reputation for even hurting others during their fight scenes:
"It's all rumors but it's from really valid people who don't got no reason to lie. [Seagal is] like one of those guys that will hurt people movie sets doing martial arts. Yeah, so he's like one of those martial artists that has an ego... A lot of people that do martial arts, they have a big ego with their martial art... They could be the coolest person off the mat and outside the cage, but when it comes to them doing a martial art, it comes with a big ego. So, his ego would get him fu**ed up in the UFC."
