Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has ignited the war of words ahead of his title fight against Jon 'Bones' Jones, claiming his opponent will not fight him "like a man".

Jackson is one of the most famous trash-talkers in the UFC, but he will also be looking to become the light-heavyweight champion when he enters the Octagon against Jones at UFC 135 on September 24.

Jones is a growing star of the sport, but Jackson believes the 24-year-old will not fight him like a man because of his trainer, Greg Jackson. Rampage believes his namesake is "ruining" MMA with his meticulous gameplans and coaching techniques, and believes he has blunted Jones' style just as he did with another client, Georges St-Pierre.

"I guarantee you Jon Jones don't fight me like a man. Just like his boy, his old teammate Rashad [Evans]," Jackson said. "He come from a team, the Jackson team is the most boring team out there right now. I have to say that right now. Jackson, man, y'all are some boring fighters.

"Y'all ruining MMA for me, straight up. All these gameplans and all this stuff.

"GSP was the man before he started training over there with Jackson. I still like GSP but I wish he would go and do his own thing cause GSP is one of the best fighters out there, straight up. And y'all ruining MMA."

Jones is yet to face defeat in his Octagon career - bar one disqualification - but Rampage believes that could be about to change. The former A-Team star reckons Jones' weak chin is yet to be exposed - but believes it will be when they come face-to-face in Denver.

"I know your weakness, though. That thing that got that hair on it right there, that chin," Jackson said. "That's your weakness, homie. Ain't nobody ever hit you. And guess what? I'm going to tell you, I ain't scared of you.

"I ain't scared of none of the stuff you got. I done fought people your height, your Muay Thai, your wrestling; I done fought people with better wrestling, I fought Olympic calibre wrestlers.

"You good, homie, but you ain't the best. I'm the best and I'm going to show you. Bow down. Polish that belt ... You real cocky and you're going to get put in your place."
