In a recent episode of the Jaxxon Podcast, former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson made a surprising revelation that has sparked conversation across social media. When asked about conspiracy theories he believes are true, the MMA legend didn’t hesitate with his answer: he believes the Earth is flat, specifically as described in the Bible.
During a wide-ranging conversation with co-hosts and guest Youssef Zalal, Jackson was posed the question about which conspiracy theory he actually believes. His response was direct and unequivocal:
“Flat Earth,”
he stated matter-of-factly. When pressed further by his visibly surprised co-hosts, Jackson doubled down on his stance, clarifying that he believes in the Earth’s shape
“the way the Bible described the Earth.”
The revelation came amid a podcast episode filled with MMA talk, training discussions, and behind-the-scenes insights into the sport. However, Jackson’s flat Earth commentary stood out as one of the most memorable moments, generating immediate reactions from both his fellow athletes in the studio and viewers watching the live feed on Kick, where Jackson has become the second most-clipped streamer behind Adin Ross.
Jackson’s co-hosts appeared skeptical of his belief, with one emphatically stating, “Not a chance,” when asked if they shared the same view. Despite the pushback, the former Pride FC and UFC champion remained firm in his conviction, rooting his belief system in his interpretation of biblical scripture rather than conventional scientific understanding.
This isn’t the first time a high-profile athlete has expressed belief in flat Earth theories, though Jackson’s specific citation of biblical descriptions adds a religious dimension to his stance. The MMA star, known throughout his career for his powerful style and colorful personality, has never shied away from expressing controversial or unconventional opinions.
The moment highlighted the unpredictable nature of the Jaxxon Podcast, which has gained significant traction in the streaming world. Jackson’s willingness to openly discuss his beliefs, regardless of mainstream acceptance, exemplifies the authentic and unfiltered approach that has made his content popular among combat sports fans and general audiences alike.
While Jackson’s competitive credentials remain unquestionable—including victories over legends like Chuck Liddell and his memorable run in both Pride FC and the UFC—his flat Earth beliefs demonstrate that even decorated MMA veterans can hold views that diverge sharply from scientific consensus. The podcast episode serves as a reminder that athletes, like all public figures, maintain personal belief systems that sometimes challenge conventional wisdom regardless of their professional expertise in their respective fields.
