Did Khabib Nurmagomedov block Quinton Jackson? Fans react as UFC champion clears his stance after Rampage’s viral claim

Former UFC champions Khabib Nurmagomedov and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson have become the center of online discussion after Jackson said the Dagestani legend blocked him on social media. Many fans believed the claim because of their different personalities. Nurmagomedov is known for a disciplined and religious lifestyle, while Jackson often posts jokes and controversial humor on his streams and social accounts.

However, Nurmagomedov quickly responded after clips of the interview circulated online. Writing on X, the retired lightweight champion rejected the accusation and insisted he never blocked Jackson. His short reply surprised fans and turned the conversation in another direction. The situation led to heavy reactions from supporters of both fighters, with some teasing Jackson and others hoping the misunderstanding could turn into a friendly interaction.

Khabib Nurmagomedov rejects the story as Quinton Jackson’s interview goes viral

In a recent interview, Quinton Jackson explained that Khabib Nurmagomedov had blocked him and never reversed the action. He said he understood why it might have happened. Jackson admitted that his online behavior can be wild and that a very religious person might not want to see such content. He also noted he had never spoken about Nurmagomedov before the supposed block and therefore found it strange.

Nurmagomedov answered soon after the interview went viral. In his post, he essentially stated that he never blocked Jackson and told fans not to believe the rumor.

The exchange created a wave of online reactions. Several fans joked that Jackson was chasing attention for his streaming career. Others said a podcast conversation between the two would be entertaining.

Commenting on Nurmagomedov’s tweet, a fan wrote, “Rampage is begging for attention so he gets more eye on his stream. Embarrassing for a 50 year old grandad”, while another wrote, “Even if you block him you don’t have to feel sorry, because honestly he does a lot of silly things for his age.”

Another fan commented, “Rampage is a 50 year old man with a 17 year old mindset. Blocking him would be the right thing to do (politics aside).” One user wrote, “I would have expected you to, he posts explicit content, Khabib and Rampage in podcast it will be Funn to watch.”

Both fighters have strong legacies. Nurmagomedov retired undefeated and defended his lightweight title three times, beating stars like Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje. Jackson was a light heavyweight champion known for knockout power and wins over Chuck Liddell, Lyoto Machida, and Dan Henderson.
