- The UFC has closed the door on Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Prior to his last fight in the Octagon at UFC on FOX 6 against Glover
Teixeira, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson said he was leaving the UFC. UFC president Dana White said the organization has closed the door on its relationship with Jackson.
“The reality is, Rampage wasn’t very nice on his way out. He’s lost
three fights in a row, which is no different than any other guy that
loses three, four, or five in a row. The real situation here is,
Rampage doesn’t want to be in business with us anymore,” said White
recently.
It turns out, the UFC doesn’t want to be in business with Jackson either.
“To be honest with you, I think Rampage said it best himself. This
is a quote from Rampage, ‘I don’t think I can compete with the best in
the world anymore. I don’t think I’m at that level anymore. I’ll just
go out and put on some entertaining fights that people want to watch,’”
said White
The UFC president said he has no ill-will toward Jackson and wishes
him luck in whatever he decides to do in the future, but did take
offense to some things Jackson said about the organization.
“Rampage is going out and saying stupid stuff like lies about our
pay-per-views. Any fighter that has a pay-per-view deal has audit
rights,” said White. “If you really thought you were ripped off on your
pay-per-view, wouldn’t you be lawyering up right now continued... | |

| I have been a long time rampage fan but even i got to say he is being a bit of jerk in this whole matter. pretty low brow talking smack about the same org that helped clean up your whole road rage mess and still kept you employed and still making more $$$ than the average fighter. Some respect has been lost for him. | |

| Yeah I'm suprised it took this long. Rampage hasn't really been a "fighter" since he took the belt from Chuck. | |
