Quinton Jackson and Jon Jones took part today in the UFC 135 press conference in Denver, Co, which lead to quite a few exchanges between the two top light heavyweight fighters.<Br><Br>

Jackson, feels he has been unfairly group with the old school of fighters despite not being old at all and showed frustration during the conference:<Br><Br>

"Who you calling old, dawg?" said Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson at the UFC 135 press conference.earlier today. " I'm only 33, man. You all act like I'm Randy Couture's old decrepit ass ... goodness. You know, if I gotta represent the old school, then I gotta represent 'em. Hell, ya'll put me in that category, you know?"<Br><Br>

Rampage also commented on his Pride days in comparison to Jon Jones being the youngest UFC Champion:<Br><Br>

"I was younger than him (Jon Jones) when I started in Pride, I was 21, 22, when I was fighting people like Wanderlei, so I guess so, I'm old school. With old school comes experience. He's the youngest champion, but I think he's the least experienced champion in UFC history. All this stuff don't matter to me, I just come to fight, get my belt back. That's the only thing I care about."<Br><Br>

The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champ also discussed his thoughts on their September match up and how he feels it will play out:<Br><Br>


"I see Jon Jones getting destroyed. He's got my belt, man, I want my belt back, man, I ain't playing. All the pressure's on him, I'm in a win-win situation. The last time I was this confident I knocked somebody out in the first round and I got that belt."<Br><Br>
