Former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs looks desperate for an in-ring return and has targeted ex-UFC champion, Rampage Jackson, to be his next rival.

So, he has apparently turned his attention towards Jackson and is doing everything to bag the lucrative matchup.

In a recent post, Briggs touted Rampage Jackson as a child and claimed to have found him in a  ‘junkyard’. Although the caption hardly had any resemblance to reality, the online feud took a step forward with that post. Furthermore, Briggs posted several more pictures that express similar emotions towards Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson.

Jackson has finally reacted to Brigg’s consecutive call-outs. ‘Cannon’ turned to Instagram and posted a video of an MMA bout, showcasing a highlight-reel KO. While Briggs hadn’t mentioned Jackson in that post, the ex-UFC fighter dived in.

He mocked Brigg’s hairstyle and tagged him, ‘chock fambo’. In response, Briggs chose silence. Once a heavyweight champion. ‘Cannon’ is yet to reply to that, However, he seems desperate about facing Rampage Jackson, advertising a fantasy showdown for all fight fans in the world.
