Wanderlei an instant after being dropped by a massive counter left hook from Jackson.
The fight was the third (and possibly) final fight in the epic trio of fights between the two men. Quinton Jackson was coming off of a controversial decision loss to Forrest Griffin in which he had lost the light-heavyweight championship. He had many personal issues after that fight and before the Silva fight. Many thought that he wasn't emotionally ready for a fight with Wanderlei.
