Rampage Jackson Reveals He Sparred With UFC Referee Herb Dean For a Fight Prep

Former light-heavyweight Jackson recalled recruiting Dean as a sparring partner before facing legend Chuck Liddell, saying, “I wanted somebody who reminded me of Chuck… and the only person I could think of is Herb Dean.” Dean (2-3), a former MMA fighter, impressed Jackson with his movement: “Herb Dean moves like Chuck Liddell.” Dean retired in 2007 and continued as a referee.
