Rampage Jackson Claims PRIDE Forced 27-Pound Cut, Suspects Poisoning Before Sakuraba Fight

Jackson detailed a brutal PRIDE ordeal before facing Sakuraba in 2001, saying, “They wanted me to lose 27 pounds in three hours.” He called it his “worst weight cut ever” and added, “I think they poisoned me.” Despite illness, arrest delays, and jet lag, he still fought, admitting he was “more worried about shitting myself than getting armbarred.”
