"I don't know how his wife put up with it" - Quinton Jackson slams Shannon Briggs for saying 'let's go champ' 'way too fu****g much'

Quinton Jackson has given his opinion of former professional boxer Shannon Briggs. ‘Rampage’ suggested that while he does find Briggs annoying, he doesn’t hate the boxing veteran.

Jackson clarified he isn’t friends with Shannon Briggs. The former UFC star also criticized Briggs for what he believes is ‘The Canon’s’ excessive use of the catchphrase ‘let’s go, champ!’

In an edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, former UFC and Bellator fighter Quinton Jackson opened up on multiple topics. Helwani noted that he feels ‘Rampage’ and Shannon Briggs are friends. The journalist added that Jackson and Briggs are too funny together and their chemistry is off the charts.

Quinton Jackson agreed with Helwani’s opinion that they’re funny together but emphasized he intends to fight Shannon Briggs. ‘Rampage’ stated:

“I think a lot of people think that because I do like to laugh. Like, if he said something funny, I’m gonna laugh. And I never met another fighter that can go back and forth with me, like, making fun of each other and stuff like that. You know, is he an a***ole? Yes. Is he annoying? Yes. Do I hate the guy? No. But, you know, we’re not friends. You know, I think he has a big mouth, and I want to shut him up. But this is a first for me; somebody that can actually talk sh** and (be) funny with it. But the guy’s annoying. He says ‘let’s go, champ!’ way too f**king much. I don't know how his wife put up with it, or his kids, or anybody that lives with him. How do they do it?”
