With his signature chain draped around his neck and howling throughout, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's entrance to the ring alone would be enough to psyche out the majority of fighters charged with taking on the Light Heavyweight. Add into that the fact that he was a bonafide killer in the cage and you've got a recipe for success.

On top of this one-of-a-kind entrance, Jackson also produced a number of memorable moments during his often unpredictable interviews and consistently took shots at Ariel Helwani whenever the MMA journalist was tasked with speaking to the fighter.

It was clear that the deeply charismatic fighter had the potnetial to be a star outside of the cage, too. Therefore, it was no surprise to see the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion pop up in films like The A-Team and Never Back Down: No Surrender towards the latter stages of his fighting career.

Jackson had it all, he could talk ridiculous amounts of trash, get the job done in the cage and had one of the most gripping entrances in the game.

He could also rip a door off its hinges, what's not to like?
