The world of combat sports is no stranger to intriguing matchups, but the recent announcement has taken things to a whole new level. Viral bodybuilder Mike O’Hearn is set to step into the ring against former UFC champion Rampage Jackson in a unique event that blends elements of professional wrestling and mixed martial arts.
Mike O’Hearn, known for his massive physique and social media presence, has confirmed that he will collide with the seasoned fighter Rampage Jackson. The bout is scheduled to take place in Tokyo, Japan, on June 22 as part of the Bloodsport Bushido event. But what makes this fight so intriguing?
Bloodsport: Where Wrestling Meets MMA
Bloodsport is not your typical combat sports event. Conceived by former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett, it combines elements of professional wrestling with the intensity of MMA. Here’s how it works:
Fighters compete inside a modified wrestling ring, sans ropes and turnbuckles. The canvas is all that remains, creating an intimate and intense environment.
Like professional wrestling, each matchup is pre-planned. However, there’s a twist—the fight must end with a knockout or submission. No judges’ decisions here.
Rampage Jackson joins a list of UFC alumni who have stepped into the Bloodsport ring. Fighters like Frank Mir, Shayna Baszler, Tom Lawlor, Dan Severn, and Matt Riddle have all participated in previous events.

Mike O’Hearn: More Than Just a Bodybuilder
Beyond his chiseled physique and modeling career, Mike O’Hearn gained internet fame as a meme accompanied by an altered version of the song “What Is Love.” Now, he’s stepping into the spotlight once again, ready to test his mettle against a seasoned MMA veteran.
Rampage Jackson needs no introduction. With a long and successful career in mixed martial arts, he was once considered one of the best fighters in the world. His accolades include a stint as the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, and he remains a fan favorite.
As the countdown begins, fans eagerly await the clash between these two titans. Will Mike O’Hearn’s raw power and unorthodox style be enough to overcome Rampage Jackson’s experience and skill? Only time will tell.
