| He is complaining about money I take it, yet he has how many cars in front of his house that he says the UFC bought em, shut the fuck up and fight again, that is all I want to see, don't tell me how hard you trained show, don't slam a dude and then have nothing left in the gas tank, train you ass off, don't tell me excuses about your knee, your trt, just fucking train if you still want to be in the game, at this point, if you got in the ring with Hendo or Rua, I feel you would be waking up at the lights as they fade like your career | |

| He was talking more shit this weekend asking for a release or something like that. He's acting crazy again being bipolar then claiming the UFC ruined him because of the Forrest fight. Seriously I think I'm done with this guy I don't get him. | |

| I love how he keeps saying you guys will pay to watch me anyway. Dude, I've been one of your biggest fans forever and I wouldn't pay one fucking cent to see you fight in some schmuck promotion against someone no one cares about it. Its barely even incentive to buy a UFC card anymore that features him. His fights suck | |

| Fedor vs Rampage just sounds wonderful. Fedor hinting UFC fight. Rampage now on TRT. I'm sure Page could come in the heavier fighter. Almost a guarantee that Fedor wins. Welcome to the UFC to Fedor. Thank you for playing Rampage, have fun in Japan. | |

- "I've been upset with the UFC and the opponents they've been giving me. I think Joe Silva needs to be shot in the face. I'm sorry, but if you got a fighter like me who likes to go out and put on fights, why you giving me wrestlers who are gonna take me down and hump me? I'm sorry. But I'm a little tired of the UFC and their texts. After my fight with Jon Jones, they told my manager that I was losing my appeal, that rappers and stuff don't come out to watch me fight no more, that the fans don't really like me no more. And it was gettin' close to the time for me to renegotiate, and PRIDE did the same thing to me. For me, the respect is worth more than the money. I'll go fight for some other show for free. I'll prove to the fans that I'm not all about money. I'll go fight for some other show for five dollars. I think the UFC should have said 'thank you' to 'Rampage' and all that. I was my first time ever not making weight. You could tell something was wrong. In my whole career, I've always been respectful to everybody. I make weight. Why do I wanna give my opponent 20 percent of my purse? I wish I didn't have to fight. I wish I didn't have no more fights with them (UFC). I'm trying to get out of this one fight."
Jackson went on to continue questioning the way he has been handled and promoted by the UFC: - Quote :
"When you get a fighter like me, that you can promote all around, like, I can make people laugh and stuff like that, you can promote that guy. You don't try to bring him down or let the fans look at him a different way -- you promote that guy. But, I don't understand why they don't. They barely promote me. It's the same thing PRIDE did. That's why I left PRIDE. I hope people understand my decision. This is my career. But, sometimes the fans are sheep. They don't know. they just know what they told." "Rampage" spoke about his recent admission that he used TRT to help heal up from a knee injury before his fight at UFC 144. According to Jackson, TRT shouldn't be abused, but for him, using it was a "no-brainer:" - Quote :
- "I did use TRT, 'cuz my doctor prescribed it to me, because of my levels were low, and he said it would help me heal up my knee. I never backed off those statements, not once. I didn't even have to give that information. I chose to give it, because a lot of people out there are cheating with steroids and stuff, and some people are even abusing TRT, and I choose not to. I don't wanna be a cheater. I'm always up front with everybody. I always keep it real and any of my fans that know me know that I do that. I don't consider it cheating. If I have hair missing, I'm gonna use a hair transplant, if I want to. If I lose some of my teeth, I'm gonna put teeth back in my mouth. If I'm athlete and my doctor says, 'Well, your testosterone is low. You gonna be at a disadvantage with the other fighters,' then I'm gonna bring my levels of testosterone back up. Plus, it'll heal you, so I thought it was a no-brainer.... I think it's a good thing if fighters don't abuse it. It's easy to abuse. You can abuse any drug. I don't think marijuana is a drug. I think it's a herb. I think it's bad if you abuse it. Not that I smoke marijuana, because I haven't smoked it in years, but I'm not saying I wouldn't smoke it. You understand what I'm saying? If I do smoke it, I just wouldn't abuse it. People abuse drugs, which makes drugs bad. If you don't abuse them, then they can be good for you."
Jackson believes that his newly found treatment may be the thing that rejuvenates him and adds years on to his career. Here's what he had to say to HDNet's Bas Rutten: - Quote :
- "I saw a big difference right away. It was very beneficial to me in my training. I felt like a 25-year old again. If my knee wasn't injured, you guys would have seen a new fighter. I'm hoping that my knee heals up, pretty soon. I keep doing exactly what the doctor asks me to do, and I'll add ten more years on to my fighting life."
When put to the question, "Rampage" was open about his desire to bolt the Octagon and be done with the UFC. He says he feels unappreciated and is ready to move on: - Quote :
- "I don't wanna fight for the UFC no more. I think the fans don't understand. They think just because I make a lot of money, I should be happy 'cuz I got a nice house. But I only stated that I fight for money 'cuz it's my career. I think a lot of fans are sheep and they don't understand. The thing is, the UFC knew I was injured and they knew I still fought for them. I feel like if I didn't fight on that card (UFC 144), the appeal wouldn't have been as big. I'm not trying to toot my own horn or nothin' like that, but they only had me and Mark Hunt, that I know of, that fought in PRIDE before and Mark Hunt is a K-1 fighter. That's a different crowd. Like, some people still watch both, but still, that's a different crowd. So, I think if I would have pulled out, I don't think they would have done as well as they did.... The fans think that the UFC is the only show in town and everything, but I don't care about money. I make enough money. I got money saved up. I got money that I'm making in other places. If you think I made all my money in the UFC, you wrong. I didn't make all my money in the UFC. I got sponsors that help me out. And the UFC talkin' 'bout how they got a billion homes, they makin' all this money, but yet, I'm makin' less money than I used to make with the UFC. Why is the UFC getting bigger, which means I'm getting bigger, but I'm making less money? So, I just don't wanna be with them no more. I think that if anybody think that I can't make my own career choices, then you a bigot. I can do whatever the hell I wanna do. I'm a grown ass man. I don't wanna have to fight for somebody no more, if they not really appreciating me. I feel like I got a lot of fans, and they not tell me 'thank you' for putting my life on the line to fight, even when I'm injured. So, I'm done with them."
Adding to the idea that he believes the UFC has mishandled his career, Jackson even went as far as to accuse the UFC of some very dirty misdoings. Paranoid much? - Quote :
- "It is hard on the body. The UFC, they know that. The UFC, they good. The one thing I liked about them is they're very upfront about things. When you get hurt, they send you to the doctors and they pay for everything. You only need to train for the fight. PRIDE wasn't like that. The UFC, they knew I was hurt. They knew I was hurt for the Rashad (Evans) fight, and they still talked crap about me. I did fight Rashad, but because I pulled out for the 'A-team' movie, I don't get no 'thank you' or nothin' like that. What I get is Rashad punching me in the knee. How Rashad know my knee was hurt?"
Ultimately, Jackson has been hurt by the criticism from Dana White and UFC management. He believes he's given his all in the cage, and that that has not been reflected in the way his bosses have dealt with him publicly: - Quote :
- "When I fought Forrest (Griffin), I got two injuries, but I still fight. I haven't pulled out of a fight yet because of an injury. My last fight, I should've pulled out, but I didn't. And I didn't say anything, you know what I'm saying? I never say nothin'. I just don't get the respect that I should get. I pulled out of a fight for the movie, 'cuz I was a big fan of the movie. But, injuries, I still go and I fight. I've won injured before, and I've lost injured. I always think there's a puncher's chance I could win the fight. but, in my last fight, I had to cut 22 pounds, 'cuz the testosterone, I didn't know it would put that much weight on you. I didn't know. I did cut 22 pounds. I did make the fight. I was injured. I was barely walking, but I made the fight, and the thanks I get is Dana saying, 'Oh, he looks terrible,' and Dana knew I was hurt. So, after that I was like, 'I ain't puttin' my life on the line for these guys no more.' They know what was goin' on and they still try to make me look bad. They tryin' to make me lose my fan base. In my opinion, that's what they tryin' to do. 'Cuz they don't want me to be bigger than the UFC. The movie that I did was bigger than the UFC. I know what's goin' on, so I'm gonna let them have the UFC. I don't wanna be a part of the UFC no more. I'm not that happy in the UFC. I don't wanna be a part of the UFC no more. Just let me go. If they feel like I've lost my appeal, just let me go! I don't wanna keep fighting guys that are gonna lay there and hump my leg and the referee not gonna stand us up. Let me go."

| I don't have a problem with most of what Rampage is saying and I have no problem at all with him wanting out of the UFC. I think the Joe Silva and match making remarks is just Rampage having his feelings hurt. The fights offered made complete sense for the division at the time. Hamill was a replacement for Thiago Silva, can't blame Joe or the UFC too much for that. The Rashad fight made sense at the time for the division and he was only given Bader because they had to quickly put something together to get him on the Japan card. Bader was just rocked by Tito so most people expected Rampage to eventually catch him with one. So I don't think he really has much to complain about with matchups. But everything else I'm fine with. | |

Page might be a baby but I agree with what he said here, exciting fighters should be matched to suit their styles unless they're close to a title shot. |

| Ali are you fucking serious? Seriously....this is a runner for the dumbest shit Page has ever said.
Josh, I am so with you on this now. I still see you as a self hating house negro but you got a point here my man. Rampage is being a certified hoe here right now.
I am all for keeping the sport exciting, and punishing huggie bears like Tyron Woodley and "tag! gotcha-nose! your it!" fighters with undercard fights, no bonuses, stagnant booking, and other slightly unfair tactics. I don't need mainstream sports fans or media affirmation, and I could give a fucking shit about keeping MMA 100% "pure sport" out of the ensuing paranoia of what dipshits who would hate MMA either way say about our sport.
Why? Because I know if MMA is exciting and remains awesome, in 10-20 years everyone will come around anyway. And I know combat sports unlike other sports(and actually, just like other sports) needs a bit of that pro-wrestling style sports entertainment to truly function properly. Boxing has always been that way too. We don't need to make this shit golf because it isn't golf, it's cage fighting. Point fighting is as much to blame as anything else for boxing's decline.
And I am all for matching up guys who compliment each other well, booking fights that will generate excitement and allure, but Rampage, but I seem to remember Joe Silva giving you a title shot ONE fight ago that you didn't even deserve, a fight where you got your ass kicked and submitted, where Jones took your heart and made you scared to engage.
Guess what else Rampage? Your last KO came over Wanderlei Silva in December 2008. Ryan Bader has had three KO's going back to December 2008. Including one over Jardine who any striker worth his salt has taken out, but who almost finished your ass. He knocked a fool the fuck out in the first round his last fight out before you Rampage. This same fighter was also finished after trading with Tito Ortiz.
Beyond that, Matt Hamill had two in that same period. And the biggest knock on Hamill in his career was he stood with guys he shouldn't to keep it exciting. BTW, he got himself knocked out and retired since then.
Machida ran from you for two rounds before realizing you suck now, and nearly knocking your face off in the third round...he can't be counted...
What's left? The fight with Evans you ducked for a movie? A fight where you got blasted across the ring in the first round in and blamed injuries and your own decision to do the movie for your shitty performance? A fight that netted you a bazillion dollars in PPV points anyway and was a fight you claimed to want more than anything?
You must want fights with Brazilian MT fighters then Rampage...like the guys who smashed your face up in Pride?
Rampage doesn't have a leg to stand on here. I was rooting for him against Bader even after he missed weight, but after all this I hope Shogun KO's his ass COLD. | |

| I'm sick of this shit. I'm usually the first one to get inline with the "it's dana's fault" theories but Page blaming Dana and the ufc for him looking bad and losing fans is seriously making Page look really bad.
-Yeah fighters fight hurt but they don't fight if their so hurt that it will lose them the fight if you were fighting when you were that hurt then I'm sorry your that fucking stupid
-He keeps talking about being an exciting fighter fighting hurt but it's not like we've seen him go for broke, balls to the wall trying to KO someone till he gasses in these fights he's talking about being hurt for. He's looked like shit from start to finish save maybe acouple seconds of attacking in some way | |
