Former heavyweight boxing champ George Foreman is well known for having five sons named George and a daughter named Georgetta. But get a load of this: In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Rampage Jackson says all of his kids are named Rampage:
According to Jackson, sons D'Angelo, Raja and Elijah all have the middle name Rampage. Unfortunately, his wife wouldn't allow daughter Naname to have the middle name Rampage, so he just calls her Paige.
A couple of interesting notes from the interview: Jackson was wearing an Affliction T-shirt even though the Affliction clothing line has been banned from UFC events because Affliction is trying to start up its own MMA promotion. I assume UFC President Dana White isn't thrilled about seeing one of his biggest stars giving some free advertising to a competitor.
Also, Jackson denied rumors that he'll be playing 'B.A.' Baracus, the Mr. T character, in an upcoming A-Team movie.

When I interviewed him for The Big Lead, he noted Affliction as a personal sponsor, and said that they outfit him with everything "but his drawers."

a lot of UFC fighters still wear affliction clothes, including two of their champs, rampage and gsp. when gsp won his title back at UFC 83 in montreal he mentioned his blank shorts in the post-fight press conference, black with only the fleur-de-lys on them. he said outright that his sponsor, affliction, still paid him to wear blank shorts, and white didnt really seem to give a damn. my guess is they dont really care as long as affliction gear isnt worn on UFC broadcasts, just like they dont care that fighters in the UFC support their peers in other orgs, as long as they dont show up wearing Elite XC t-shirts at UFC events.

let the advertise what they want if they can get some extra $$ for themselves. maybe that will help encourage Dana to share the good wealth.
