Twitter reacts to 'Rampage' Jackson's successful return vs. Maldonado at UFC 186

Co-main event time. Fabio Maldonado will make the walk to Bill Conti's theme song from "Rocky 2." Yo, Adrian!

Is being "legendary" for you ability to absorb punishment really a good thing?

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) April 26, 2015

This fight is a recipe for pure entertainment. Maldonado hates his brain. #UFC186

— Justin Buchholz (@JustinBuchholz) April 26, 2015

Did I seriously just watch a red trim Maldonado's toenails cage side?

— Shawn W. Smith (@shawn_w_smith) April 26, 2015

I want a mani pedi my next fight

— ike vallie-flagg (@IKEVF) April 26, 2015

Free pedicure. Not bad.

What's Scott Coker thinking right now?

— Luke Thomas (@SBNLukeThomas) April 26, 2015

For his return, "Rampage" walks to "F-ck Up Some Commas" by Future. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like an editing issue.

Either Rampage wins by gogoplata or Maldonado wins by flying triangle. Trust me, I'm an expert. #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

First 10 seconds Rampage has shown head movement and he's checked a kick. I'm confused.

— Shawn W. Smith (@shawn_w_smith) April 26, 2015

Rampage looks good so far. Not the tentative, awful version of himself that has shown up lately. Aggressive & active. Let's see if he gasses

Rampage kicking!? That has to be Chieck Kongo with the Michael Jacksons bleaching #UFC186

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) April 26, 2015

Rampage throwing leg kicks, jabs, combos and knees. Who … who are you?

— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) April 26, 2015

I seriously cannot recall anything Maldonado landed. Rampage won round 1 easily. …And now for the chaos.

— Mookie Alexander (@mookiealexander) April 26, 2015

Rampage takes the first. Looking sharp, interested to see how the gas tank holds up though. #UFC186

— Niall McGrath (@niallmcgrath4) April 26, 2015

Man… I don't know how much I like the idea of Rampage taking a bunch of body shots. #UFC186

— Bloody Elbow (@BloodyElbow) April 26, 2015

Page's uppercuts are making my night. Love em.

— InMyMMAOpinion (@InMyMMAOpinion) April 26, 2015

Maldonado in full Homer Simpson mode right now. Against Rampage, and at cruiserweight, who knows? It could work.

— Ben Fowlkes (@benfowlkesMMA) April 26, 2015

Fabio Maldonado, the takedown artist? Jeepers. Also, Rampage looks gassed as hell.

— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) April 26, 2015

Maldonado has the highest success rate for takedowns in the UFC. K-1 level WRESTLING!

— E. Casey Leydon (@ekc) April 26, 2015

Rampage throwing head kicks and Maldonado successfully lands an inside trip?! #UFC186

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) April 26, 2015

20-18 Rampage. He's hit Fabio hard – like, hard – a few times but Fabio hasn't flinched much. Tough SOB. #ufc186

— Dave Deibert (@davedeibert) April 26, 2015

Maldonado mugging and then throwing a single jab to the body is one of my favorite things in MMA #UFC186

— Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) April 26, 2015

Maldonado must be a cyborg under all the softness… He takes some massive shots and just keeps moving forward. #UFC186

— Steven Grossi (@SteveOGrossi) April 26, 2015

Fabio spits his mouthpiece out, waves sorry, hastily drops to one knee picks it up and puts it back in. Yep.

— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) April 26, 2015

Only thing getting dropped in this fight is Maldonado’s mouthpiece.

— Marc Raimondi (@marc_raimondi) April 26, 2015

30-27 Rampage. It may not have been the fight you wanted, but I thought it was a good showing for Quinton. #UFC186

— Bleacher Report MMA (@BR_MMA) April 26, 2015

I think rampage looked good and showed a lot of heart against a tough guy like Maldonado

— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) April 26, 2015

Fabio really didn't bring it. I'm sure many expected a much much better fight than that. Rampage def deserved it. #UFC186
