Rampage not being a bitch... actually SHOCKING

Quote :

“To be honest, my manager told me I need to learn to keep my mouth shut. He actually told me that this morning. I can say this … it all boils down to this: The UFC is promoting the UFC. They’re looking out for themselves. I feel like they promote their brand more than they promote the fighters. I feel them on that because anything that happens to a fighter — and [a fighter] can just be gone, get hurt — and they put all this money into promoting this fighter, then they ain’t got no product no more. I understand that. I just want the UFC to understand that I have to promote my own brand… I know I messed up the relationship by doing the movie over fighting Rashad Evans. It was my fault. I’ve got to keep it real. I did that. I messed up. I should have honored my contract and fought Rashad after ‘The Ultimate Fighter.’ … Before that Dana and I was really cool. I was really cool with the UFC, Lorenzo [Fertitta] and everybody. We were all cool, but I messed up the relationship by doing the movie and I’m aware of that.”

i'm suprised the UFC didn't file a lawsuit.

they seem to file lawsuits against every other fucker who doesn't do exactly what they want all of the time.

Looks like he is eating again and off the energy drinks.

love it.

If I had to pick between this thread and the one where Rampage was called a bitch, I would say he is being more of a bitch here. This is a filtered, forced quote from Rampage. The last one was real and raw.

Well the truth is that Rampage really did fuck the UFC over by bailing on the Rashad fight after being on TUF. Dana rescued him when he went on his rampage, running over pregnant women and shit, and then Page turned around and bailed on a huge fight that the UFC had obviously put a lot of money into hyping already.

This quote might be forced, but it's more truthful than most things that come from Page's mouth these days.

He wasn't lying when he was going on his rant. Even here you can tell he isn't happy with how the UFC treats him or other fighters. He was being honest before and telling it like he sees it. This is just something his manger forced him to do.

He wasn't lying but he was being unrealistic. Page is finally realizing that Dana and Lorenzo aren't really his friends...they're business partners. Once Page is no longer profitable for the UFC, Dana and Lorenzo will put their efforts into someone else. If Page was smart, which he's not, he would be a good boy and make as much money as possible before his career is over. Alienating himself from the UFC is a terrible idea for him. Plenty of fighters aren't happy about the way the UFC treats them. Hell, Carlos Condit has been screwed every which way until he got the win against Diaz. The only reason Dana is allowing him to wait for the match with GSP is because it'll be a money maker. If Carlos loses, that main event is out the window and the casual fan has no clue who Jake Ellenberger is.

I don't think Rampage came to any realizations about the UFC or anything like that. I don't think he is finally understanding anything. His manager probably reminded Rampage about the amount of money he could be potentially losing and gave him a few things to say. Rampage's feelings were obviously hurt before and his emotions got the best of him. But I don't think for one second that he doesn't fully believe everything he said during that rant. Those were more reflective of what Rampage really thinks.

Yet you like diaz who is the king of whining like a bitch...... Lol

If the name behind all of pages recent comments was nick diaz, would anyone be surprised? I only would about the one in this thread because nick would never atone for anything he did.

Diaz is Diaz, no script, no filter. He's an odd dude. I don't like everything he does but I have been a fan for a long time now, he brings it in the cage, he is 100% Diaz 100% of the time. I respect him and enjoy watching him fight.

Why should he have to apologize for speaking his mind at the moment?

"If I was losing my hair and the doctor told me, ‘You need a hair transplant,’ I’m going to do a hair transplant. If I get my tooth knocked out like Randy Couture did against [Lyoto] Machida, I’m going to get a new tooth put in my mouth. If my testosterone gets low and the doctor tells me, ‘You need to raise your levels back up to where you used to be when you were 25,’ and you’re fighting these young folks, I’m going to go do it. I feel like it’s a medical condition. I have to say this. I have to say this and maybe some people will get mad, but I feel like whoever’s getting mad at me for healing myself up, [there’s] an old saying, a slave mentality, like, ‘Oh, how dare you make yourself 100 percent to be fighting out there.’ That’s what comes to my mind."

yeah problem is the young folks cant inject themselves with 15 yrs experience or old man strength

Here's what James had to say about Rampage:

Quote :

That's what you get for being a slave to the white man. Don't be scared. Step up and speak for yourself. That's why I got paid the million-and-a-half dollars and am still getting paid by the UFC. You know what I'm sayin'? The highest paid fighter ever. You feel me, fat boy? Me. And you been there...what, twenty years and you're getting paid pennies? While I make millions?

Rampage, if you wanna fight me boy? Come on down to the gym and I'll give you a job. ...you could be the sparring partner. I pay $50 for a sparring partner.

The subject of the MMA bout Toney was supposed to have with Ken Shamrock was also raised.



And James (predictably) didn't have very nice things to say about Ken:

Quote :

The most dangerous girl in the world. They couldn't afford me because they didn't have money and some bulls**t.

...he would get knocked out. He knows it, that's why he scared. I mean business, I don't play.

thank god there was text for me to read it otherwise i have no fucking clue what he said! wtf
