Rampage Jackson quits MMA

[Venomous98Cobra]

I used to not be a fan of his but the guy is a great fighter and actually pretty damn funny outside of the octagon. I'm hoping that things work out for him and he fights again.

Jackson-White squabble gets ugly: Rampage says he's done fighting - Cagewriter - MMA - Yahoo! Sports

I guess he got bored of playing checkers.

You guys think he's good enough to play chess?

Dana White is a douche bag, the only reason he gets away with half the shit he says/does is cause the UFC is getting so freaking huge. I wasnt really a Rampage guy, but he was humble and funny for the most part and a damn good fighter. Guess it doesnt matter though, Dana will just replace him like and exploit them as well when they want to do something different.

 

[My94GT]

damn thats a shame

 

[FoxFour]

I guess one reason is that he is going to play B.A. Baracus in the new A-Team movie.

I didn't like Rampage when he first came to the UFC, but I've started to like him more and more. I hope he's not done fighting. He is a great fighter and funny as hell!

 

[03Sssnake]

lol...Didn't Dana White bail his ass out of some serious doodoo awhile back?

When Rampage realizes outside of Mr. T and stupid fighter characters that acting isn't going to pan out for him, he'll come crawling back to the UFC.

UFC is becoming more and more like "Pro" wrestling. I would not be surprised if this whole "feud" was manfactured by Dana White and Rampage...

I mean it could be. Only time will tell then.

Personally i think he was a great fighter, and he was funny as hell outside the octogon.
So i hope the best for him and hope he does well in his role as BA. Ima go see that movie most deffinately.

And if this isnt conjured up as a gimic for his return in a few months to fight Evans. Then DW should of seen the bigger picture that him being in a major role in a movie, would bring huge amounts of publicity to him fighting. Or maybe they have :dw:

That sucks I was hoping to see him beat Rashads head in.

Yep! It was obvious he was losing interest in fighting cause he's chasing the almighty dollar. Im sure we'd all take the opportunity to make a few million in about the same time it would take us to train our asses off to make a few hundred thousand. It's just a shame he's giving up what he was actually good at. But once the movie deals run out (which they will) then ge'll be back. I think Randy Cotoure tried this exact same thing and look how long it took him to come back.

This should be another sign to White that he needs to start paying more. As the sport gets bigger and there's more superstars being made they are going to start looking at these outlets.

 

[Niks97cobra]

I was really looking for to the Rampage/Evans fight. Rampage is a good fighter and entertaining both in and out of the ring. Dana White definitely needs to pay his fighters more.

 

[32ValveRom]

Probably a good move for him. He can continue his career in movies and get paid while not putting his body through so much.

take a peek at the movie Never Surrender Tell me if him, BJ penn, or gsp have any future in acting, if anything heath hearing does.

 

[03Sssnake]

I think he could potentially capitalize on the BA role longterm. If it's even remotely successful, there could be sequels and or even a new TV series. Rampage does not need to be a critically acclaimed actor to pull off the BA role, come to think of it, I can't really think of a better fit for BA.

 

[zaxjax]

He can always go to the WWE and be the new Junkyard Dog

 

[BLOWN PONY]

Well, that sucks....

I always loved hearing what QJ had to say.

 

[crazyj0n]

UFC is losing massive ppv draws. It is going to plateau for the next 2 years.

 

[MarshallJenkins]

Aww wtf??! That means no fight vs. Evans
