Dana White Mad at Rampage, Not On Talking Terms
UFC president Dana White was on the Dave and Mahoney Radio Show on Tuesday talking about how upset he is with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson ditching a fight with Rashad Evans to portray "Mr. T" in a Hollywood remake of the 1980s TV hit "The A-Team."
Oh yeah, he updated everybody on his company too.

who gives a fuck this shit is turning into a soap opera.. i want to see fights
Quit bitchin Dana. Its done now. He's going to do the movie and that's that. This is not the first time Dana acts like a little bitch and say fucked up things because someone decided not to do things his way.
See Fedor, See BJ, See Randy, etc.
Daddy has spoken.
So its ok that hes on tv as long as its a reality show that Dana controls.. Go make a movie for yourself you get the Huerta treatment.
What is bullshit is Rampage putting off a fight to make a movie. Dana has every right to be pissed off, Rampage is not a movie star he a fighter and under contract to fight. It's fine if Rampage wants to make a movie as long as it does not interfear with his fighting schedule.He turn down a fight with Lyoto to fight Rashad and then we get Lyoto vs Shogun witch no one really want to see. Now he moves the Rashad fight back to 2010 sometime and we may never get to see the fight. Thats is costing The UFC and Rashad a big payday and it takes away from the fans because this is a fight people want to see. The fans make this sport and thats what matters. OH ya Fedor is a little bitch for not signing with the UFC. Everyone knows that!
All these dumb fucks bitching bout Dana. He runs a company and when someone tries to fuck him over he bitches about it and guess what, that's what everybody would do! Rampage is one of my favorite fighters but he was supposed to be part of the co-main event in December and if haven't realized December and July are the biggest pay-per-view months. Dana should be pissed. He's actually being a nice guy. Most bosses would of fired Rampage for this bullshit stunt. This is costing Rashad and the PPV.
Oh and what's the Huerta treatment? Is it when UFC builds you up, gives you 6 fights in one year (most of which are easy), fight for a shot at the title, lose, decide to quit fighting, and most likely fail as an actor? Is that the Huerta treatment? Cause it sounds like being a douche bag.
Gotta agree with Tice, on both posts.
I'm looking forward to the new TUF season, and mostly because I've been looking forward to the jawing between Rampage and Evans hyping me for the PPV. Now, while I still get to enjoy the posturing (and whatever the Kimbo angle ends up being), it's just a big blowoff at the end instead of a big payoff.
So Rampage is getting 'Squat' for doing this movie. According to Dana he is losing millions. I am thinking more and more he is scared to fight Rashad and to the idiot who said Rampage was getting 2 or 3 million for the movie... like I said where are your sources and who the fuck are you. I'll tell ya! You are nobody feeding the internet with more pure bullshit. Keep it to yourself dipshit. lets stick to facts, like the fact that you are a fuck head. How about this one... BJ Penn has given up mma to become a gay porn star. You believe that right. I mean BJ Penn is a little bitch so it must be true. Lucky you stayed annonymous cause I would love to have personally ripped another internet goof to shreads. (Refering to TUF 10 preview page)
Most fighters fight for the payday, good for Rampage for taking the movie role. He gets to make cash and starts to move on to bigger things. don't forget that ufc fighters do not get paid like NBA players. Rampage is one of the coolest dudes that i have ever met. I used like Evans, but he was a dick to a me and a bunch of other fighters at a show. Yeah the UFC loses millions...something that really should bother me, they are not going to go bankrupt over it.
RAMPAGE VS EVANS IN FEBRUARY!
You heard it here first. Rashad chilled in our booths at both Tryst Nightclub and Lobby in Toronto and said that the fight got moved to February. Dont worry people, the fight will happen.
Let that man make that damn movie if he wants to.
Shit.
You will live without Rampage fighting Rashad in December.
Just a bunch of whining as grown people.
Damn.
Daddy has spoken.
They're still fighting in February. Dana just likes to talk shit about guys who could whoop his ass. He thinks it makes him cool. To a few nerds it does.
WHAT BULLSHIT!!! RAMPAGE JUST DOESN'T GET KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT BY EVANS. THIS BUSINESS IS ABOUT FIGHTING NOT MAKING MOVIES. YOU MAKE MOVIES ON YOUR OWN TIME. THE REAL LOSERS ARE THE FANS ON ANOTHER GREAT FIGHT.
Rampage should be able to do what he wants he is only thinking about his future. There is no 401 k for fighters they have to get as much money as they can when they can props to rampage
Right on to Rampage. He's getting no less then a couple million for the Mr.T role, plus a lifetime of residuals. It would take at least 6-8 fights and 2-3years in the UFC for Rampage to make that kind of money, and thats if he didnt get sidelined with an injury. So when they finally do fight the world wont be as excited cause of the time past, but there's enough great fights on the books to have to dwell over Ramp/Evans. I pitty the fool who wouldve turned down the opportunity Ramp got!
You all can say what you want, 90% of you will probably go see the movie, including Dana.
Tice is hillarious!
2 the Anonymous LOSERS: Rampage is getting paid peanuts 4 this movie, I dont like dana all that much, but he has the right 2 b PISSED & MAD. The UFC is in the fighthing business which is y they sign FIGHTERS 2 FIGHT, not 2 fight when they want 2 & go do whatever they want 2, like in Rampages case. Contracts r signed so u can "keep/protect" ur investment, i dunno how Rampage can ignore the contract he signed, i just do not understand. Though I guess firing Rampage or whatever would only make Rampage mad @ possibly join another promotion, but I say let him go if he wants 2 & have fun fighting nobodies & lose tons of respect & fans.
If u have a contract signed, that should b the end of it right there, not sign a contract & do what u want 2 & then priority #1 turns into pririty #2 or #3 like acting in a movie. I think Rampage is getting old & knows he cant compete with the top fighters in the world @ LHW anymore, hes older & slower. He didnt want 2 fight Lyoto & now hes afraid 2 fight Rashad b/c like Rashad said in the TUF 1st episode.... "ur going 2 lose b/c ur 2 slow & ur heads 2 big" I always predicted Evasn would win & by KTFO. Sick & tired of Rampage & the other losers who dont make fighting their #1 priority after signing a huge contract 2 fight, STUPID & annoying. This is going 2 b like the Hughes & Serra BS, biggest rivalry & it took 2-3 yrs 2 happen, after all the hype & hatred was basicaly gonzo. I bet come FEB if they do fight that early Rampage will have another xcuse, like injured or another gay porn movie role he takes that pays nothing AGAIN/AS WELL.
If anyone of u told ur boss ur job wasnt priority #1 4 the company ur working 4, what do u think happens?!? Exactly, so Dana cant b that bad of a boss if he lets these ass clowns do what they want. I'm sure noone has any problems with people wanting 2 do other things & better them-selves but not @ the cost of losing $ & fans 4 ur-self & the sport. (exactly what Rampage is doing).
Either fight & STFU & then do whatever it is u want 2 do, but u cant keep canceling fights like Rampage has done back-back. The UFC is losing alot of $ & the fans r out a very xciting fight (most likely) & it srews up the other fighter, Evans is rotted/dissapointed as he should be & we would all feel the same that Evans does.... has 2 wait another 4-5 months?!? thats BS, I say give Rashad another top 5 or top 10 in the LHW & make Rampage climb the ladder, b/c thats what he deserves @ best. U want 2 go back on ur deal/contract,..... find, u made me/Dana wait & the fans....... therefore no title shot, no top contender opportunity fight, back 2 the beginning.
DANA should make an example of Rampage, if u want 2 fuck around & not fight as ur suppose 2, (Jesus Christ idiots Dana made it a point 2 get the fight in Rampages own backyard & still turns it down, like WTF?!?) then u 4fit ur status & hence the reason u start from scratch. Simple as that, send a message Dana u ass clown. No more MR nice guy, ur running a business dude, so grow a set & give Rampage what he deserves..... Rampage obviously doesnt care about his fans or Dana/UFC, b/c if he did he wouldnt turn down the 2nd huge fight in a row, especially in ur hometown/state... unFUCKINGbelievable. Make Rampge earn his way back 2 the top & if he doenst like it, take a hike. UFC will not lose much with Rampge gone..... he hasnt fought since Feb or March, so hes not making them much $ now & Rampage is on his way down, getting old & not as passionate about fighting anymore = going down hill & quick.
P.S FAHQ Rampage u sook/cry baby, ever since Forrest exposed Rampages weaknesses & lost the belt, Rampage hasnt been the same & will never be the same.
Well Kris that was a mouthfull. You think Rampage would take the roll if he wasnt getting paid enough to justify, they you're a DONKEY!
Rampage did NOT SIGN A CONTRACT to fight Rashad!! Dana fuct up by assuming they would fight after the show and they verbally agreed to.There was NO breach of contract Rampage will fight after the movie is done. Just because your under contract with the UFC it shouldent mean you can't persue other options. Also a second contract is signed when a fight comes forward this allows for training time and purse details. UFC shouldent own fighters
dana white sucks balls!
