Former UFC Champion now makes more money streaming on Kick than during MMA career

by

Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson, a retired UFC champion, says he now earns more money streaming on Kick than he did throughout his entire fighting career.

In the early 2000s, Quinton Jackson, known as Rampage, was one of the most feared fighters around. After dominating opponents in Pride Fighting Championships in Japan for years, he joined the UFC and rapidly became the Light Heavyweight champion.

Rampage Jackson was a dominant fighter known for his powerful knockouts of opponents like Chuck Liddell and Dan Henderson, as well as his intense and memorable battles with Wanderlei Silva. He was a truly formidable presence in the sport.

Even though Rampage Jackson was successful as a boxer and mixed martial artist, he says he’s now making more money as a streamer. He regularly streams on Kick and claims his current earnings surpass anything he made during his fighting career.

Rampage Jackson makes more from Kick streams than UFC career

So, someone asked me during a livestream last November if I actually make more money fighting in MMA or if my Kick streaming income is bigger. It was a pretty direct question, and honestly, it got me thinking!

Rampage recently stated that in just eight months of streaming, he’s earned more money than he did throughout his entire 20-year fighting career.

When Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson won the UFC title against Tito Liddell, mixed martial arts wasn’t as popular as it is now. He earned around $225,000 for the fight itself, not including any money from sponsors.

Considering how much money UFC fighters could potentially earn through fights and endorsements, this amount is quite small. Just recently, Paramount and CBS signed a $7.7 billion agreement to stream UFC events on their platforms.

Rampage had a successful fighting career, winning 38 out of 52 professional matches and earning good money for years. However, he recently revealed that he’s made even more money in just a few months streaming on Kick than he did throughout his entire fighting career.

Most of his increased earnings are coming from sponsorships. He explained that sponsors engage with him much more during his streams than they do with his fighting career. He also noted that clips from his streams get more views than his actual fights.

Rampage’s activity on Kick inspired his son, Raja Jackson, to create his own channel. However, things took a negative turn in August when Raja streamed a video of himself physically attacking Syko Stu at a wrestling event.

Raja was arrested in September, and his father, Rampage, publicly supported the arrest and criticized his son’s actions. Since then, the former UFC champion has returned to his regular streaming schedule and appears to be earning a lot of money from it.
