TUF 10: Marcus Jones Talks Pressure To Win For Team Jackson

TUF 10 contestant Marcus Jones

All the pressure falls on me now to get Team Rampage a win.
Through the magic of television, many people don’t realize this, but I was actually in the locker room getting ready to fight during Rampage’s explosion following the loss. I fought on the same day.

All I heard was this thunderous noise that made it seem like everyone was fighting. Rampage came into the locker room pissed and sweating. I walk out and see the door. It was insane. It was a stressful situation, considering it was my first-ever fight in the UFC. It messed a little with my pre-fight mind state.

We will see if I was able to get over it next week during episode 8.

Marcus Jones talks about the latest episode of TUF 10 to air on Spike. Do you think the North Carolina native gets the win, or does Rashad and company complete the sweep?

I think Marcus wins

BUT
What if he doesn’t? There would be literally zero reason for team Jackson to even be there anymore, and I doubt they’d be training even if they hung around.

yea..

that would be crazy….I guess they would split Rashad’s team up and let Rampage ‘coach’ half of those fighters…

I thought about that

but, I don’t think Rashad’s team would even agree to be coached by Rampage. That would just just be a shitstorm waiting to happen

would they have choice though?

Would be similar to the Hughes/Franklin thing with Rashad on Season 2.

I could see them doing their own thing and not listening to Rampage or his staff at all. Even if they split them up, they could train and corner each other

Maybe they’ll split up the Rashad staff?

Bloody hell.

Doubtful

I’m sure they’ll keep Rampage involved on the show….we have to remember that all this was filmed before we knew Rampage was going to play Mr. T.

Why does it sounds like he gets defeated? I hope this is just misdirection. All I can say is that he better not gas or have an incredibly weak chin. And please don’t get submitted. Hopefully this fight will be a decent 2-round fight. I really don’t care who wins, I just hope it is competitive.

The Team US vs. UK season looked better than this over-hyped mess.
