Quinton Jackson Goes On A “Rampage”, Tears Down Door
Total Pro Sports - When former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson signed up to coach in The Ultimate Fighter Season 10, he may have got the impression that it would be all fun and games, and even some dry-humping of hot reporters.
Things have changed, and now Jackson has apparently found out that coaching a bunch of men living in a house together can be quite frustrating. Either that or he just doesn't like doors all that much.
Footage captured the often outspoken fighter tearing down a door at the UFC training facility during filming of the newest season of TUF. The door appears to be made of cheap thin drywall, which raises questions as to whether this incident was staged or Dana White was just thinking ahead and figured his door would eventually suffer such fate. After all, it isn't the first time a fighter has taken his anger out on a door this year.
Season 10 of the now popular UFC reality show is set to premiere this Wednesday on Spike TV. The appearance of Kimbo Slice was initially enough to garner interest, but with Rampage seemingly taking down any obstacle that gets in his way (literally), I can't help but wonder if (and hope) Rashad Evans will become one of those barriers.

That door is a cheap interior door which is just 1/8″ wood veneer glued together on strips of particle board and cardboard interior. It’s not that impressive he was able to tear it apart, in fact I’m surprised it took him so long.
It’s a standard interior door. Ozymandias is right about the construction of the door but I don’t agree with him that it’s not impressive. It’s easy to put holes in a door but he did rip the top half off of the door with his hands in a second. He’s either a heavy mother fucker who knows leverage well or he goes hulk smash every time he want to destroy something. If you don’t agree, try ripping the top half of a door off with ur hands the first try. If you win, you get to buy a new door.
lol at the author of this bit suggesting that the door is made of dry wall. Dry wall??? lol, apparently he doesn’t know what drywall is. Also, another lol at suggesting that it’s a prop. The door is made of press wood panels, with cardboard ribbing between the panels. Doors like this are common these days, and are used both commercially and residentially.
And yes, these doors are easy to break in such fashion, as I’ve done it myself during home demolitions, prior to remodeling.
chimp rage
usually he is a hilarious guy and is cool with stuff but DAMN!
and it looks like it takes him so long cuz slow motion…
Huh…tearing up a balsa wood door isn’t exactly an impressive show of strength
So I will say that the door is of light construction but until you rage on one and you do the same damage in the same amount of time you should shut the fuck up!
I’ve watched altogether too much professional wrestling in my lifetime, but ‘Rampage’ Jackson’s little temper tantrum with the door looked like Rampage was playing to the camera to me. The whole season of this show looks staged to me. Notice the incessant shots of “this is the real thing” and “this is as real as it gets” throughout the proceedings. Does that put anyone in the mind of Kurt Angle’s catchphrase while he was at Titan? They protesteth overmuch, methinks. Rampage’s whole schoolyard bully act seems to me a put-on to ‘up’ the ratings by introducing an element of conflict (beyond the inherent tension of only one man getting an ensured contract). Indeed, does Rampage’s whole feud with Dana White put one in the mind of one of the most famous feuds in professional wrestling – Stone Cold versus Vince McMahon? McMahon made millions by tapping into the average joe’s fantasy of kicking his boss’s ass. Are Rampage’s tauntings of the boss just a toned-down version of this sort of thing? If this was a real tantrum, someone here has impulse-control issues and should take measures to address it. If, on the other hand, it’s just a publicity stunt, it’s not such a hot idea. If Dana wants the public to think his athletes are a bunch of barely-under-control psychotic thugs, he should put this footage on permanent rotation. Question is, should the UFC really go there? Dana took umbrage with the treatment of the UFC in that episode of the Simpsons, but maybe again he protesteth overmuch. Many people assert the ‘game’ in the UFC has advanced since the more rough-and-tumble early days, but just think…Royce Gracie was once legitimately the most fearsome athlete on the planet, all the while maintaining his dignity. No small feat. Maybe the UFC just wants to ‘rough up’ its image. That’s my take, anyhow…Greg Cameron, Surrey, B.C., Canada
How do you not have where he punches the door in the gif? It is also in SLIGHTY slower motion than the tv show. Dropped the ball imo
