Rampage Jackson: 'I Did It a Couple Times in the UFC'

Speaking on his JAXXON podcast on April 30, Jackson revealed how he dealt with the slippy canvas in the UFC and PRIDE, admitting in the process that it was "probably illegal":

"What I do is probably illegal in America. ... I first started noticing the canvas were slippery even when I was fighting in Japan," Jackson said. "You know what I used to do? ... I used to get this resin for handball. What I did was I put it on the bottom of my foot then I stepped in a plastic bag, and then I put my socks over it.

"'Cause in Japan they don't have a commission," Jackson continued. " ... I did it a couple of times in the UFC."
