Wanderlei Silva vs. Quinton Jackson
Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva versus Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is a mixed martial arts series of fights that began in the now-defunct Pride Fighting Championships in Japan. All four fights have been televised live on pay-per-view.
The series features four particularly violent fights in mixed martial arts, with all four contests ending in a knockout or technical knockout. On two occasions, the loser of the fight was rendered unconscious. The second fight in particular has received high acclaim, as it was named the 2004 Fight of the Year by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards. The series is also known for the rivalry and bad blood between the two fighters. Indeed, Chris Parry of the Vancouver Sun considers the matches between Wanderlei Silva and Quinton Jackson to be "legendary" for the hatred and violence displayed. MMAWeekly.com considers Silva vs. Jackson to be among the greatest trilogies in the history of mixed martial arts.
The rivalry began in the months leading up to Pride Final Conflict 2003 on November 9, 2003, where the first fight took place. Silva was victorious in the first meeting, after landing close to 20 standing knee strikes to Jackson's face before the contest was halted. Silva once again bested Jackson with a combination of knees in the subsequent rematch at Pride 28: High Octane, leaving the latter motionless and hanging between the ropes. The third fight took place in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) at UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 on December 27, 2008. This time, however, it would be Quinton Jackson avenging his two earlier defeats to Silva by knocking him unconscious with a left hook.
