Dana White: 'Rampage Jackson is a grown man acting like a baby'

Rampage has been given everything he could possibly want in UFC: A warm-up fight, followed by an immediate title fight; Having his ass and reputation saved in The Red Bull Freeway Incident; A second title fight, which he turned down; a high-profile 10-week gig on Spike, followed by a fight with his hated rival; and a fight in his hometown that HE REQUESTED. All of this stuff is worth a few million dollars in salary, bonuses, sponsorships and increased visibility, but he walks away from all of it and leaves Dana and the IFC holding the bag. Real classy.

Yeah, I like Rampage a lot as a fighter and usually as a personality but Dana is absolutely right about this one.

Well put PW…you can’t trust a thing this guy says. It really makes you wonder about his mental stability and I’m not trying to put him down but this situation is completely bizarre. I think I have to side with Dana on this one…the guy has been given everything and anything he has wanted. After losing to Griffin Dana gave him a fight he’s always wanted in Wandy, then Rampage says he wants to fight right away and even though Rashad wasn’t ready he came to fight anyways. After that they gave him a title shot against Rashad…Page wanted time to heal and Dana still said he could have the winner. He turns down the title fight to make more money on a reality TV show and then give him a fight with his “rival” in his hometown and he blows it off for a lame movie. This guys has made no sense since his loss to Griffin and his antics have grown to over the top at this point. Dana lets this do his movie but has some choice words about him bailing on the Memphis that was put together specifically for him and he grabs his ball and walks away…simply stunning from a “profressional”.

Dana said it best, “It’s not easy making it as an actor these days, even actors aren’t making it as actors these days.”

What is there to like about Rampage anyway? Sure he can be an entertaining character at times but he’s a complete bonehead, who has done some ridiculous things – freeway incident is just one of them. He’s an okay fighter, who really has no chance against guys rashad, machida, shogun, bones jones, etc. He’ll never get the belt back – he’s just too slow and one dimensional. He’s just a thug who probably realizes that he’s not going to beat Rashad or get the belt, so he’s quitting. Who cares? Most of us want to see real warriors who have dedicated their lives to being the best and testing themselves against the best.

Caknakker, you should be banned from ever dropping a comment on a Rampage thread again…
Rampage has fought for 39 times over 10 years, he’d beat Rashad for sure! Quinton is a superstar in MMA, and as much of a warrior as you can find!

whatever happened to doing your job and shutting the f up? because im pretty sure thats what 99.9% of us do everyday, why should any of us feel sympathy for rampage? the guy makes something like 300-400k a fight plus endorsements, etc. and were supposed to feel bad for him because he wants to go make a movie? give me a fing break, fire this guy immediately

Brendan….I’m on board with that. Couldn’t have said it better myself. But I will add this….see if those movie exec’s bail his a$$ out next time he goes on a Rampage.

nobody is feeling bad for Rampage, they’re pissed because he’s leaving MMA. Rampage could have handled that situation with lawyers and stuff on his own. The UFC took helped him out because of business reasons.

I see where you’re coming from and agree somewhat. Some may have been for business reasons, but I believe that it was mostly done for personal reasons (like Dana would have done the same for Chuck). Because if you think back, no one was questioning the UFC for Rampage’s behavior. I think it gave them worse press for stepping in to help him than it did good. So I can’t see how it was really good for business other than keeping one of your cash cows out of the pokey.

I agree with Caknakker… he is way too one dimensional and would get beat probably by Rashad, but would get DOMINATED by Machida

So whats the daily limit on Monster Energy drinks???

LOL, so what does Rashad bring that Rampage doesn’t? worse standup and lesser wrestling.. It’s not like Rashad is a submission master

What does Rashad bring that rampage doesn’t? Speed, craftiness, and heart.

Ban me for my opinion? Come on RoBerto, dont be such a drama queen!

Everyone’s entitled to their opinion. Your’s just happens to be ridiculous. No offense. Rampage is too slow, and never follows any sort of a game plan. Rashad, although not my favorite fighter, is intelligent and is with the best camp in MMA. His record speaks for itself. Most of his victories were against bigger opponents. Even in LHW Rashad is smaller than most. His only loss is to a guy who is a future legend. Rampage wouldn’t even make it out of the first with Machida. Rampage is a dumbass – you can’t possibly argue with that. He’s tough, but doesn’t have the rest of the package – speed, strategy, athleticism, intelligence. These things make a lot of difference.

Also, you say that Rashad had worse stand up? Come on man! He has great footwork. His hands are real good and he even kicks once in a while. Rampage has good hands but that’s it. You can’t argue against facts.

That was a joke. As i’ve said footwork, speed, athleticism don’t do sh!t if you can’t box and lack some serious technique and defense! you could bring the most athletic guy in the world into the octagon by your standards and he would do great, obviously he wouldn’t stand a chance so that’s whats ridiculous. Rashad’s defense isn’t good, and his composure is questionable so is his chin if you wanna go there..

just some dong: Rashad has bigger heart? whoa, just whoa! what are u smoking dude? Rampage has more heart than most fighters in MMA..

rampage has so much heart and will, they have to drag him to train! he has no heart except for a pay check!

actually Rob he brings faster standup, kicks, and better wrestling!

Spot on brendan, I have no sympathy whatsoever for a rich professional athlete walking out on his employers to do something else, breaching his contract as a result, despite being backed by them when he broke the law. If an ordinary person did this they would be an unemployed convict, so all of the “I did it for my family” nonsense is complete BS, the only thing Rampage cares about is money, not his family/friends/fans/opponents/employers, just himself and his cheques. I can’t support or feel sorry for a man like that.

I’m not criticising Rampage for taking advantage of a big movie role, as landing the role of BA is huge. I also can understand him being annoyed at the way that Dana has acted, because his comments in the press conferences for 103 were unneccessary and unprofessional, but delaying, then bailing on a fight and a career is not the way to go about business and quitting over the Internet, crying about your family is childish.

I’m honestly sick of these grown men acting like babies, it makes MMA look bad. One of the main things that attracts me to this sport over something like football (soccer) is how these are not primadonnars looking for a paycheque whilst rolling around on the ground faking injuries and showing disdain to the fans who support them, but about men of honour competing to be the best and sacrificing a lot in training and fighting to win. I don’t expect 2 grown men to argue over the Internet like children because one decided to change careers and the other couldn’t settle a non-issue without making silly insults. Dana and Rampage are both a couple of whining babies and need to grow up, as at the moment all they are doing is damaging the reputation of a great sport.

kevin – training has nothing to do with heart. He does train, but he’s over 30 now with 39 fights so how much he trains won’t make that much of a difference, how he performs in the actual fight is all that matters and from what i heard he was overtrained for his last fight.

David: I can’t agree with you on your comparison between football (soccer) and MMA. Football is still so much better, I like watching MMA too but it’s completely different and the business side of the sport is under the ice!

So lets break it down then and look at both sides.

Rampage is mad because…
- He wasn’t given a shot against Lyoto immediately after TUF
- White called him names
- His “secondary” career is being jepordized by his primary one
- The fans are making fun of him on the internet

Dana is mad because…
- Rampage skipped fighting Lyoto for Rashad before TUF and then wanted to fight Lyoto instead or Rashad after TUF
- Rampage signed a movie deal after his fight was scheduled changing the scheduled date of the fight out past February
- The UFC card was placed in Memphis because its his hometown and for no other reason
- Rampage is retiring because he can’t handle being an adult

imo it seems like a lot of Rampages problems were caused by his own dillusional self. Just saying Dana is a prick but Rampage is an idiot. Who would you rather follow, the guy who helped build up the image of MMA or the guy who wears a giant chain and helps to degrade the image of the common black man. Seriously Rampage is making himself into more and more of a joke.

Dana didn’t do anything more for MMA than Rampage did… get over yourself

the athletes will always be in focus…

I never said anything about myself so I think I am over myself thank you. and what has Rampage done for the sport please do tell.

RoB…c’mon man. You can’t honestly believe that Rampage and Dana have had equal parts in the successes of the UFC or MMA…

no, I don’t. but the fighters/athletes is the main focus in every sport…

The athletes are the ones we see, but Dana is a huge reason that we are able to see them. He was the one who got a TV deal/show with a solid cable network. without the exposure he brought to the UFC, nobody would have had any interest in Strikeforce cards or even the EliteXC fights on network TV. He has also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to get MMA sanctioned in so many states. Now not only is UFC able to hold events in a lot of different places, a lot more up-and-coming fighters are able to compete in small local shows without incurring massive and possibly prohibitive travel expenses. Ramage is a very good fighter and an entertaining fighter, but it’s not like MMA would never have gotten off the ground without him. There is no way you can compare what Dana has done for the sport to what Rampage has done.

lol? Dana didn’t do anything more for MMA than Rampage????

I know that’s a lot of “?” but i can’t really emphasize the ? enough.

the fact that we even have to mention his name and speak about him is embarrassing, that’s just a sign of how small and pathetic the MMA business is! That is why Rampage is leaving and i couldn’t be happier.. Dana taught all the guys to fight too right so he could attract fans?

Huh?!!

Essentially Rob is saying without out the parts (fighters) how can the builder (Zuffa/Dana) make the machine (MMA)? Well thats the whole thing is Dana didn’t even need amazing fighters like Rampage to do it. He used TUF to bring in noobies who ended up getting the show mainstream. People like Diego, Florian, Forrest, Kos, ect. from TUF truly are the fighters who brought MMA to the main stream. I figured you could explain how Rampage helped benefit MMA because he never has. Rampage was in PRIDE which is responsible for knees on the ground which caused controversy with legalizing MMA here(early day fighters for the UFC were part of the same barbaric problem). on top of that Rampage got love drunk off energy drinks and ran from police while simultaneously damaging property and causing stess to a pregnant women who ultimately lost her baby. and he got a slap on the wrist for it which shows how well our court systems work. Then he goes and dry humps a reporters leg. He likes to talk trash to hype a fight even tho its not the way he feels. On top of that he is a terrible ambassador for TUF and a terrible coach thus far. I’m glad I’m not black otherwise I’d have more reason to hate him for the way he portrays the black man as some loud mouth, chain wearing dog. but yeah that all portrays well in the media and helps MMA go a long way. You need to start thinking more deeply when you retort

Roberto you have now just joined the ranks of Introvert. You have absolutely no ground to stand on and you argue your points like some drunkard talking about the state of the economy. If you think that comparrison doesn’t make sense, try reading your own comment. My comment is currently being moderated but it proves how terrible Rampage has really been for the sport. Look at the UFC poster boys, they play by the rules and make bank money, get the fights they want, fight in their hometowns, get good PR events. Dana bends over backwards for these men, just because they aren’t making 8 million a year like in football you expect me to act like he’s shafting them? Rampage could have went to any other dirt org that would have folded or promoted him terribly but he chose the elite group. but as a matter of fact this is like trying to explain something to a cat… just go play with some string or something.

I’m glad u think so, cause intro is one of my favorite posters.. the fact that you believe they made it mainstream which they haven’t even done yet with TUF is some crap you got feeded from TV to hype the show which is at it’s tenth season now! Tito, Chuck, Randy and all the other entertaining and good fighters and the sport itself is the real reason as to why ppl watch and that has got them to where they are today, it was always gonna happen..

- Rampage is great at hyping his fights
- he is great on TV which is why they wanted him on TUF nobody cares about his coaching skills.
- He was a poster boy for the UFC, nobody cares what happens in a pro athletes personal life either so don’t try to make a deal about that, fans tune in to see Rampage at work…

Dana and his friends at Zuffa made a machine that is called UFC not MMA… do you watch good MMA or the UFC?

I’m beginning to think that you are introvert which wouldn’t suprise me. Somebody needs to agree with you, why not let it be yourself. Its not a hype that was falsely created, it was a way for people to take a look at the inside of the sport and see that it was possible for the common man to accomplish. The shows on cable television helped to get MMA to the mainstream and see it wasn’t just cockfighting anymore because if you remember it was banned in most states. I’m talking TUF was a huge deal and anyone who disagrees is being ignorant, no doubt that Randy, Tito, Chuch, ect were a big part in raising the MMA community too but I’m saying TUF was the straw the break the back in terms of really getting it out there. The WEC was an amazing idea as well, not to mention Dana and company have been having fights in other countries. Its amazing to think how far they have brought the MMA community and your one sided logic that Dana is evil and the fighters are being held under his thumb against their will is blinding you. Rampage really isn’t all that good at hyping fights, he just tries to create controversy. He doesn’t know anything but that. And in doing all of his wreckless stunts, he gives MMA a bad name. He makes it look barbaric and backyard. He is trying to take it toward WWE wrestling instead of a respected sport.

“Roberto you have now just joined the ranks of Introvert. You have absolutely no ground to stand on and you argue your points like some drunkard”……….“I’m beginning to think that you are introvert which wouldn’t suprise me. Somebody needs to agree with you, why not let it be yourself.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Classic Cogito Ergo Sum!!! That was freakin’ hilarious!!! hahahahahaha Way to go man. That’s why I enjoy reading your comments.

whooo my first fan, sweet!

www.bloodyelbow.com

There are about 4 articles about it on the main page. Pick 1, they are all good and worth reading IMO

I read them and my opinion on this subject still hasn’t changed. I sincerly hope you are not trying to defend Rampage here. I understand the need protect his body and family but the man chose the wrong way to go about it. Now we have a giant mess and finger pointing. Sorry but Rampage is bad PR.

yeah i wouldn’t defend rampage but the article was spot on for dana’s behavior. he can act like that all he wants but it will come back on him.

Agreed, the Dana articles are spot on.

Thats all I was trying to say Cogito. I am not defending Rampage at all! Believe that! If I actually believed that I would never get to see him fight in the UFC again, I would be furious…but I dont believe that at all! Thats why I dont even think that this should be an issue that we should be talking about, because it will be resolved in no time….I do however think the bigger issue that we should be debating is what the articles about Dana pointed out. again, dont take this post as me defending page and blaming Dana….I just think that a much more serious issue is Dana’s behavior that those articles pointed out!

Eventually his behavior is really going to COST us Fans!

No doubt, I agree that I think if worst comes to worst Lorenzo will step up again and take care or Rampage like he wants and we’ll get to see the fight we want. I also agree that Dana is getting a bit wreckless at times. They need to start cutting his time in interviews or give him a PR person to start controling his answers or the questions he’s given. In short Dana needs to start acting more like a president and start averting more of the questions away from himself and his own personal opinion. But as you can tell he can always forgive even his worst enemies, like Tito so we at least know its possible for him to see the light as thick as his head may be.

Let it always be said tho, that I still wanted to see Rampage fight Rashad and in no way am I saying Rampage isn’t good as a fighter, I personally think he beats Rashad and can take Lyoto which is why all of this crap he’s pulling is really confusing me.

They are both spoiled…I have a harder time feeling bad for Rampage though…it seems as though he puts himself in rediculous situations…if not for Dana Page could possibly be behind bars. The UFC spent millions marketing TUF and Page bailed on them. Something should be said here about loyalty. I don’t agree with the way Dana bashes guys but he does have valid points

C’mon Dubs…poop-face??? Watch your language man. lol

Sorry, just a momentary elementary school relapse. LOL

We’ll settle this at recess.

3:30 at the bike racks!!!

LMAO! Recess. :D

atleast i don’e have weenie breath!

Buster: I am curious to hear what you think about the articles about Dana’s behavior on BE. Im not being sarcastic, I just read those articles this morning and it gave me a lot to think about. when you get the chance, read those articles and give me your thoughts.

and thats not just for Buster, I would be curious to hear what many of you have to say about Dana’s behavior and how it hinders the future of the sport. to me that is a much more serious issue, then this silly beef between Page and Dana that will be resolved in a week!

I read them John and have mixed emotions! I got to admit you are having an open mind to this subject and it’s nice to see! Here’s my 2 cents, take it for what it is… my true feelings!
Roberto is crazy to compare what Rampage and Dana have done for mma. Dana has buit mma from basically the ground up and turned it into a billion dollar company. He and his friends/business partners took a chance and it panned out.
Now on to Rampage… He optimizes what not to be when I raise my son! He’s not smart, rude, craves attn. and is lazy! He wants to act (I have no problem with that) but his secondary “dream” is interfering with his profession. That said, it’s been widely reported he doesn’t like to train and needs to be baby sat during training. He’s giving up an estimater 3 million dollars minimum on the hope that the A-team will have a sequel (which proves he isn’t getting paid shit for this one). He cannot fight in any other organization (to answer ur question John) until his UFC contract is honored! So if this movie bombs (which it’s already projected to do) and the UFC locks him out, he’s screwed!
Now on to Dana. You can’t say he helped Rampage because of star power only because he also helped out and was loyal to: Neer, Sherk, Guillard etc.
Dana is a very loyal guy as long as your loyal to him (mob ties and rules show)! He stands to lose more money in this than Rampage does… the real loser in my opinion, and is being overlooked is Rashad! Dana will rebound, but Rashad is losing a pay day and a big one at that.
Dana will be Dana and thats why you either love him or hate him, he speaks what he’s thinking and those kinda people there is no in between (I know, I’m like that)! You either agree or disagree.
I blame Rampage for turning down 2 fights, begging to fight in memphis and backing out and for actually believing he’s done anything for the UFC! The UFC was doing fine pre-Rampage and will be fine post-Rampage!

i agree with most of what you wrote there kevin, and as a person i don’t have a problem with the way dana talks but don’t you feel in the long run talking like that to the media or public will hurt him,the ufc and in the end the fans?

maybe Roy,but I respect someone who tells it how they really feel, over someone who spins it in their favor! I respect him more than someone who sugar coats it! He’s in business and it’s “high profile” look at the crap goodell took for suspending Vick after he already served prison time, he felt it was justified and that’s all that mattered. Dana flew to LA and bailed Rampage out../ did he have to do that? NO, he must genuinely like him!

here’s the guy who really loses in all of this..

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2009/9/23/1051902/ultimate-fighter-coach-rashad

NO, he must genuinely like him!

i wouldn’t dout that he likes him but i am sure he bailed him out more becuase rampage is a star for the ufc more than he did it as a friend.

i like the way rashad is handling it and what he said is probally true, i think we will see rampage fighting in the ufc for sure.

Nice post Kevin. I agree that Rashad is the biggest loser in this scenario…the show and the fight would have pocketed him some serious coin and gave him a solid win to get back to the title. The other part that pisses me off is that had Rampage got drunk on energy drinks sooner we’d be seeing Randy and Rashad tangle…another big payday for Rashad lost.

I read the articles on Dana and although I find Dana’s honesty and insulting comments amusing at times…he does tend to go overboard on bashing reputable people. I had no quams with him bashing people like Jared Shaw or guys on the TUF show that messed around or bashing guys that put down MMA in general. I don’t care for his Fedor bashing and he basically discredits anyone not in the UFC. I also don’t care for his candor with the Randy fiasco. In those cases…he needs to just stick generic comments and not go on tirades. I think Dana overall is good for MMA cause he’s charismatic, a great promoter, and he’s always loyal to those that are loyal to him. He’s stood behind many of his fighters. I don’t put a lot of stock into what Dana says most of the time and I do think he’s rubbed many people the wrong way but at the end of the day…the UFC is still the #1 MMA org by far and a he’s played a big part in that. His personality might be brash but he gets the job done at the end of the day.

As far this situation goes…I think he went a little overboard with his comments. I wouldn’t have said “you can’t fix stupid” for instance. In the end though…Rampage went against his word and his contractual obligations. I believe that Dana bent over backwards for him. Rampage had his title shot twice and blew them both off(I understand the first time cause he wanted to heal). I just don’t think Rampage cares about anything but money…he’s not intersted in the belt, glory, a legacy, or even being a fighter at this point. His motivation is hyping fights to get good money and he trains enough to get by as evidenced by Griffin.

Whether this blows over or not…this is losing him fans.

Rampage is the athlete, I didn’t mean just Rampage vs Dana i meant all fighters like Rampage vs Dana.. I mean i became a fan because of Tito Ortiz and simply because i love to watch fights which happes to be under MMA rules, I didn’t even know who Dana was back then and i would have been better off not ever knowing who he is..

Kev, Mac, Brendan and Buster all hit the nail on the head in this topic, I agree with everything that I’ve read from you 4 so far.

I feel bad for Rashad especially, he gets a lot of stick off fans but he has acted professionally throughout and he deserves the payday more than anybody.

Dana and Rampage are both a couple of babies and I’m sick of talking about them and this whole debacle to be honest. Hopefully there’s something better to discuss tomorrow.

I cant really disagree with anything you guys said. I am not a Dana hater like introvert. Many times, dana’s rants make me laugh, and his personality was great to get the sport where it is today, but I am seriously starting to think that the way he is conducting himself will hinder the sport from continuing to grow. Dana is a very powerful man, with power comes great responsibility, and he needs to start being more professional. I think the UFC has gotten to big for him to continue to act the way he does.

Kevin, dont take this as me bashiing you, but I do hate it when people like Kevin say that they like dana cause he always keeps it real and tells you how he feels. IMO, that is BS! Dana has lied countless times to the pubic. Half of what he says is BS, the other half is genuinely how he feels. I mean I remember when Dana stood at the podium, and with a straight face called Fedor a Farce who isnt even top 5. Dana is not a stupid man, and I am sure that he knows Greatness when he see’s it. I also dont think iit was right or professional of him to disclose info about Rampage’s movie that got Page in trouble with the producers. That is just something that you dont do in my opinion. I also find it alarming that MOST of the UFC’s biggest stars all have had, or presently have problems with Dana and Zuffa. That is really alarming to me.

I just think that at the point where the UFC is today, Dana needs to really change the way he conducts himself in public if he wants the sport to continue to grow.

I can see that side of the argument too John. I think if Dana has time to think, he’s calculated in what he says and says what’s best for the UFC (Fedor is a farce), but if asked a question and put on the spot, I believe he gives his honest assessment, whether it’s good or bad! I don’t really see how he’ll hinder the sports growth, mainstream media and casual fans will always see the dana that comes off great like in the last TSN interview or the interview with that young kid in oregon, while the “bad (honest)” interviews will only be heard or seen by the hardcore fans searching mma forums!

He won’t hinder anything if he stays out of the way! let the sport have it’s way without some guy trying to put his face on it!

Well what your getting at is a two sided arguement John. Dana always keeps it real in terms of his company. He is protecting the image of the UFC and of course tells bold faced lies to protect their image. Everyone seems to like to take the fighters side and argue for them when in reality these are all grown men and they know what they are signing up for. I don’t feel bad for the little pansy that joined the army and then got mad because he is constantly told what to do and getting paid little to do it, you signed a contract, maybe you should have went to college and gotten a little more brain smarts before making a big decision you couldn’t quite comprehend. If that’s not something you can handle then don’t do it and don’t make excuses. That’s the only real problem I had with Fedor is that he kept making excuses instead of just saying, I think the UFC is to controlling and its not for me. Sorry, once they are more lenient on allowing cross promotion, I’ll join, nuff said. Now in terms there is a limit how far Dana should go and this depends on the Fertittas to put him in check. Dana saying what he feels is usually a nice touch cause it burns the fighter and causes them to react, but when it gets to far he needs to know when to swallow his pride. Its hard to do but maybe some anger management courses might help him. Also getting him out of the spot light will help as well. It’d be better if we got Dana to comment on TUF prospects or potential match ups and just leave the headlines to the MMA orgs to fix. He can also use the UFC website to spin issues his way as well without dragging his coat through the mud. In essence I like Dana because he is actually a smart business man. Tito was just a chump trying to keep his name in the headlines who ended up back where he was before making less than before. Also I can’t stand people who make comparisons and then try to generalize their comparisons. Rampage deserves absolutely NO credit for for bringing MMA where it is today. I’ve already provided the proof and using his name as an example is extreme ignorance. Fighters only get partial credit because they only come to fight, they don’t promote. If it was all due to the fighters then Strikeforce, DREAM, PRIDE, Elite XC, Affliction would all have been more responsible for where MMA is today but for the life of me I can’t see what any of them have done except show how unstable and relatively young the MMA community is. Dana White haters like to always just point out what a loud mouth he is without ever giving credit to what he has truly done for the sport. and anyone who can’t give credit where credit is due doesn’t deserve the time of day to be heard.

great post cogito!

Good point, Casey!

Whether people agree with it or not, Rampage has been pursuing this B.A. role for a long time. I heard him talking about it months ago in interviews. He auditioned for it, campaigned for it, and finally got it. Now he’s supposed to drop a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a once-every-month event!?! Memphis isn’t going anywhere. Rashad isn’t going anywhere. Dana just said how hard it is to get into acting and here Rampage is with the kind of high-profile role that 99.9% of professional actors are salivating over and Randy or Baz would kill for, and he’s supposed to walk away from it so Dana won’t have to reschedule? Dana reschedules all the time! Anderson Silva is the reigning champion and takes time off for imaginary surgeries whenever he doesn’t want to fight. Dana just wanted to punish Rampage for not living his life to line Dana’s pockets. So he calls Rampage a retard and his movie garbage and talks all sorts of trash about him. If Dana knew anything about Memphis, he’d know you don’t disrespect a brother like that and just expect him to be ok with it and kiss your bald white buttocks.

I used to watch Iron Eagles as a kid with my dad, I should campaign to be a fighter pilot now???!!!

“…here Rampage is with the kind of high-profile role that 99.9% of professional actors are salivating over…”

Thats the funniest, as well as the most asinine, thing I’ve read all week. I couldn’t even finish reading the rest.

your right intro, he’ll do fine in the movie, but from what i read, he’s making nothing and being promised a big pay day if there is a sequal… to screw your “main” employer to roll the dice like that seems too risky to me!

i am not a big fan of him doing this but your right this role is perfect for him, and what was mr.t a guy who fought on tough man and was a body guard pretty similar.

Hell, if Cleveland can play Mr.T…why not Rampage?
