Quinton “Rampage” Jackson Lands A-Team Role, Won’t Fight Rashad Evans at UFC 107
Popular light heavyweight and former UFC champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has landed the role of B. A. Baracus in the upcoming “A-Team” movie, which is currently being filmed for a mid-2010 release.
The role, which was portrayed by Mr. T in the 1980s series, will prevent Jackson from fighting Rashad Evans in the co-main event of UFC 107 on December 12, according to MMA Bay, which is known to have close ties to Jackson’s Wolfslair camp.
Jackson and Evans will appear as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 10, which is set to debut on September 16 on Spike TV featuring heavyweight Kimbo Slice, and were scheduled to meet at the pay-per-view event in Jackson’s hometown, but the recently-announced lightweight championship matchup between title-holder BJ Penn and challenger Diego Sanchez will instead top the card, while Jackson-Evans is rescheduled for early-2010 so Jackson can complete a full camp for the fight after filming for the movie concludes.
Jackson (30-7) passed on a title shot against Lyoto Machida earlier this year following back-to-back victories over Wanderlei Silva and Keith Jardine, instead opting for a second stint as a coach on the UFC’s reality series and showdown with fellow contender and former champion Evans.
Evans (13-1-1), is also familiar with TUF, appearing as a heavyweight on the second season of the show, suffered a second-round knockout to Machida in his most-recent bout in May. He was previously undefeated in 14 career fights with notable wins over Michael Bisping, Chuck Liddell, and Forrest Griffin.

bah. I’d rather see rashad and rampage fight sooner than later. Oh well.
Yeah… don’t really like this. Is this for real this time, second time I’ve seen this rumor, but last time it was supposed to be proven false, I thought.
big slap in danas face. awesome
I cant wait to hear Danas thoughts on this lol.
Right is it me or is this becoming a joke now, any organisation in the world you have a contract and you adire to that contract or face discipline, simple as, we have all these mma fighters now who from the sport we all love want to choose money n fame over there JOB. Kung Lee, Roger Huerta, Randy Couture to some extent and now rampage. This is mma you wanna be a movie star go to hollywood, you wanna be a mixed martial artist and be signed with the best organisation in the world you respect them and adire to the contract and the TUF series and the ufc card that follows that show. The whole point of TUF is to find the next top talent and for the coaches to build up there fight and drama, so instead of that fight happening straight away while its in everyones minds hed rather appear in a ****ty film. Its a joke and im a huge Rampage fan.
Yea, I cant believe he would chose “money and fame” over his “Job”. Who would be silly enough to do that????
thank you for that.
Kung Lee = Cung Le?
MMA is a sport, and UFC is in the business of Sports Entertainment. Rampage in a movie is great for the UFC, in turn it is great for the sport of MMA. The more fighters can assimilate into the entertainment world, the more fans are pulled into the sport. More fans = more $$; more $$ = bigger and better productions. Hence why Dana White is “allowing” this, whilst voicing his opinion in the media otherwise. The character of Dana White has to put on the “I don’t agree about this” costume, but the business man in him is rubbing is his palms together.
i can let all those other people you mentioned go before rampage…he owes the UFC everything, they took care of every little thing involving his little energy drink hit and run fiasco, now they’ve sunk millions into an ulitimate fighter season to help promote his next fight, and he bails, d@mn page…the end
it’s symbiotic with UFC making the most. Bailing him out helped the image of the UFC big time. The driving freak out was really a low point – I don’t think imprisoning someone in this case helps society, and sure would be (ahem) bad for business.
This is bs. I think if this is true he should slide down the ladder in contention, and with how stacked the lhw division is, he shouldn’t get a shot for st least 2 years. But, ufc picks and chooses their #1 contenders, so I doubt it will affect anything
I agree with truemmafan to a certain extent. Some of these fighters are forgetting what their job is and what brought them to the game. Depriving fans of quality fights and forcing big organisations like the UFC to make constant lineup changes doesn’t provide stability and doesnt improve the sport’s image.
However, it’s important to note that allowing MMA stars to be in movies allows them to be a greater part of the mainstream, which then puts more of a spotlight on MMA and increases the chances of getting a larger fanbase.
It’s hard to achieve a balance here. I just hope we don’t have more situations like what’s happening with Cung Le. He had some great performances and it’s like he’s left MMA behind, which leaves Strikeforce in limbo and deprives the fans. Another problem is that if he were dropped from the roster and then returned to MMA, the UFC would pick him up and that would be a massive problem for Strikeforce.
WTF is going on with all of these fighters??? is this part of the “growth” of the sport?
This seems a little strange being that dana stook by rampage during his “mental breakdown” so I don’t think dana would appreciate this. I’ll wait for an official announcment because imo this is gay dude. I hella wanted to see some “black on black crime”!!
rampage starring in a major motion picture is a lot of free publicity for the ufc, he s not just starring in a low budget film, he s taking on one of the most infamous roles from television, everyone knows his character and the ufc’s main age demographic is the same age that grew up watching the a team
Hardly. The A-Team isn’t gonna be a blckbuster or anything. I couldn’t name two characters aside from BA BAracus (and thats cuz of this article) of the A-Team. I’m 24 and like a lot of other UFC fans, not excited about the A-Team movie. It wont be breakin any records. It’s no Harry Potter or Dark Knight.
This is BS. You don’t see Tom Brady sayin that he’s gonna have to miss week 4 because he’s gotta make an apperence on a TV show. As an athlete, if the fans expect you to do something, then you should follow through. I am a Rampage and Evans fan, and I wasn’t quite sure who I was goin for. Needless to say, i know now.
Tom Brady makes WAY more in the NFL then he would from making movies. Unfortunately, as big as the UFC is, Rampage must be getting paid more for this silly role then he would in the Octagon. And thats kind of sad…. But the reality is that Rampage wont be on top for too much longer and hes only getting older. I cant blame him for wanting to cash in on his name while he can.
I doubt he will makes that much more in this movie. He isn’t a famous actor.
submit,
2yrs is a little ridiculous, whenever he comes back he will still be a top dog, just because he does this doesnt make him a lesser fighter
…the end
So I guess we know where Jackson’ priorities lie. Maybe with the win over Wandy he feels his career is complete. I dunno. Kind of weak though if this is true.
Don’t the TUF coaches have contracts they need to adhere to? A lot of the hype behind this season is the whole “black on black crime” thing Rampage started at 96.
This is the second fight in a row Rampage has dodged. What’s up with that?
This is not a smack in Dana’s face, This is a huge amount of publicity. Dana White loves this move for Rampage. Being in this movie exposes Jackson to a whole new fan base, which in return will bring more fans to the UFC. More fans=More Money.
i honestly feel that this will effect jackson in a negative way and he will lose the foucus and problably lose to the weaker fighter in Evans. Rampage has been super pumped to fight Evans and super motivated but this move to be in this movie will for sure cool the fire that he had going into this fight and he might end up losing when the fight does take place. Good move for him as Quinton Jackson the person, but bad move for his fighiting career as Rampage Jackson.
DUDE WE AGGREE ON SOMETHING AGAIN!!
Totally feel you on this one.
I see it both ways. Yes as a fighter this is a bad move all day long!!! He will suffer fighting wise for sure!
BUTT honestly alot of these guys want to pursue other revenue outside of fighting, while they still have the market ability!
I saw a rental movie with bj penn a. silva Gsp and Rampage and k. Lee on it and I was like ohhhh nooooo. Bad acting mixed with D rating films horrible idea. Now these guys wanna act. Butttt really can you blame them… I’ve been in alot of movies as an extra on set and it was great and was easssssssyyyyyyyyy money. And it paid more than my normal job and my bosses where cool with it!!
But I wanted to see that Evan/Jackson fight especially after all this hype.!!! I wonder if it is true cause I’ve read otherwise!!
I blame you Brock Lesnar!!!!
I totally agree
great my favorite fighter rashad might not even fight, thanks rampage i knew it the beef with them was all hype rampage ****s on the ufc again.
South, I’m not saying it makes him less of a fighter. What I’m saying is the average fighter has 3 fights per year. His last win was over jardine. Who just lost to Silva. Silva will most likely fight again this year, which puts him ahead of rampage in contention. And Silva has lost to the dragon, so he isn’t getting a shot anytime soon. So, why would a guy who takes a year off stay in contention? He will get rashad when he returns, and probably another fight against a top contender. Add that to the list of “active” too fighters, who should get a shot first, and it should be 2011 before rampage fights for the title. But, like I said, ufc picks and chooses, so if A team is a big hit, he will prob get a shot sooner. Which is bs
Can’t say I blame him too much. Every fighter needs to have something lined up for after their career is over. The UFC paychecks wont last forever. Hopefully it only gets pushed back one PPV or so.
Yeah, I kinda feel the same way. It is just another poker in the fire, as my old man would say. Quentin is just looking after Quentin. As for the increase in fans and exposure for the UFC, well the vast majority of people going to see this movie are probably already UFC fans, so I don’t think it will be all that beneficial to the organization.
However, if Jackson comes home with an Oscar….
Lol. Could you imagine his Oscar speech? It would be almost as classic as Danas is going to be about this whole scenario. I can’t wait to hear Danas thoughts on this.
does anybady know if he has any acting capabilities?I couldn’t bring myself to sit through more than 5 minutes of never surrender.Either way i like it.I just hope this movie has a bigger budget.I’m sick of seing these MMA stars play in low budget gabbage.
Exactly!
And no his acting skills sucks harder than Jenna Jameson in all her movies combined!! Yeah I stole that from dbiz sorry couldn’t help it!
I saw him in Midnight meat train trust me dont just dont dude!! I’ll never get those 2hrs of my life back!
But honestly how good of an actor does he have to be to say “I Pitty The FOOL!!” and jump out of a van??
I hate you, but you gave me a shout-out. And you made me laugh. Bastard.
Yes, yes I love you to dbiz!
Anderson Silva vs. Rashard Evans……..book it!
Best comment today.
OMG, again?…..damnitt
uhhh…you guys are really this upset??? You’ll get to see the fight a few months later, anyway! PLUS we get to see Rampage as B.A. Baracas!!
Awesome!
Well Garule
I’m torn because I feel like MK4 ohh sorry DisneyKnight4, if he spends time away from the fight game he will suffer. Because Rashad will be 100 % focused on Rampage and Rampage will be have his focus in different directions. When really Rashad may pose a serious threat to Rampage much like Forrest who Jackson underrated and didn’t train as hard for and had all the other distractions going on as well.
Evans comes from a Great camp with great fighters and totally comitts to who they are up against and Jackson camp is IMO suspect.
But Really I understand why Rampage would want to do this Movie and it may never come around again for him sooo heyyy plus fighting will be here but I just want to see Rampage develop into the fighter we all hope he would become but he may have other goals in mind besides fighting.
Um, OK.
Lets assume for a minute that THIS TIME Rampage is actually going to be in the A-Team remake, as opposed to previous rumors to this effect.
Also, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the A-Team film project has been on and off again for over 18 months, so, y’know.
Under that assumption, here are my initial thoughts on the matter:
- if Dana White were opposed to this, Rampage wouldn’t be in the film. Period. Unless we hear that Rampage has been released by the UFC in the next 72 hours or so, then its safe to assume that Rampage has the UFC’s blessing on this.
- making a movie, even a crappy one, takes a lot out of a person. It’ll probably be some time before we see Evans-Rampage, if ever. “Early 2010″ can easily become “mid 2010″ with Hollywood projects, and a lot can happen in 6 months in MMA’s most stacked division. Who can say if either fighter will find this match-up appealing and beneficial 4-6 months down the line?
- the answer to “can Rampage even act?” is of course he can.
Or do you really think that Quenton Jackson is Rampage 24/7/365?
Quenton Jackson is a person. Rampage is a character QJ plays for sh!ts and giggles and a serious amount of scratch. In PRIDE and then the UFC, the paychecks may have been made out to Mr Quenton Jackson, but the promotions were paying for Rampage, if you follow.
I’m willing to bet when Jackson is at home and he walks downstairs to have a meal or catch Sportscenter, he isn’t wearing a bike chain spray-painted gold around his neck, isn’t rocking a grill that would make Flavor Flav blush with embarrassment, and definitely isn’t howling like a werewolf who’s OD’ed on too many Monster energy drinks.
So yeah, Quenton Jackson can act. He’s been doing that Rampage schtick for nearly a decade, and is still going strong.
- the answer to the inevitable question of, “should Evans fight Anderson Silva while he’s waiting for Rampage to wrap on A-Team?” is, only if Silva agrees to the fight. Right now Silva has a lot of options in front of him, and fighting Evans might not even be in his five, if you follow.
- there is nothing wrong with Jackson looking after his interests, as long as he doesn’t disrespect either the sport or the UFC while doing so. While it remains to be seen if he will while filming, I doubt it. Underneath all of that 70’s-esque jive rap, Jackson is a savvy businessman who knows whats the what. I see him back in action by Spring, 2010.
Also, in comparison to Cung Le, it should be noted that Jackson isn’t currently a titleholder, so I think we’re maybe comparing apples and oranges a little bit here.
- I do think, as some mentioned above, that this issue is symptomatic of the growth and mainstream acceptance of the sport. First the fighters become athletes, and then from athletes to celebrities. Many MMA fighters have done TV, movies, Dancing with the Stars, etc., and the sport just keeps blowing up.
I say let Jackson do the movie, and then it’s back to work for whoever he’s fighting next. Ultimately both the UFC and the sport are better served with the fighters receiving higher visibility in other entertainment mediums.
I think that about covers it from my spot on the sidelines, for what its worth…
I am going to have to disagree with you on your primary stance in that if Dana doesn’t approve of this than surely it must be false. Or inversely that if this is true than it must necessarily carry Dana’s blessing, as you surmise. Either assumption is flawed. At the end of the day, Quinton is the party here with the most leverage. If there are brighter pastures in Hollywood, so be it and I can’t say I blame him for pursuing that. Dana’s only trump card is that he still has Quinton under contract in the event Quniton returns to MMA. And I am sure he will return and that’s exactly why a UFC release is not in Quinton’s near future. Basically contrary to your first few sentances, we surely are not going to see Rampage getting released, but that by no means is any indication that Dana or the Fertitas are okay with with all this.
Let’s name a precedent for your theory there Jerod, for credibility’s sake if nothing else. When has a fighter displayed more leverage over Dana and/or the Feritas and they sat back and just idly took it? Even Captain America had to go to court as a defendant under Zuffa vs Randy Couture; let Jackson try to breach anything or think he can skate free with impunity dude, you have a BILLION dollar company who will laugh at Jacksons net worth or drawing power. To remind you perhaps, Zuffa is an Italian word literally meaning “brawl”, and most fighters who think they have leverage against this particular employer gets owned immediately. Quinton making a maybe box office hit isnt helping Zuffa in any way and as an almost simplistic prediction I’ll say if Jackson doesn’t have Dana’s full blessing then he’ll either see Zuffa in court or can earn his paychecks from Strikeforce or Dream.
What persona was Quinton Jackson displaying jcohl when Rampage was doing donuts in the middle of the highway do you suppose?
Look, there is this idea flying around here that if this is true (which it is turning out more and more likely) then Zuffa is perfectly fine with it. And the premise behind that idea is the tell-tale sign of Zuffa’s dissaproval is Rampage getting released. I dissagree with that because, while it may be harmful for Zuffa by Rampage leaving (loss of a big draw fighter) losing Rampage’s services altogether (releasing him) is doubly bad.
I think there stands a decent precedent in the Roger Huerta example. Didn’t he choose to take a long break from fighting to test the acting waters? That obviously did not sit well with Dana, and for good measure. He was grossly popular back then, on the cover of magazines and this and that. But not anymore. We really don’t even think about him anymore. That was a missed opportunity for the UFC to enjoy a big draw fighter, but he left, it was his decision, the company’s hands were tied to some degree, and that’s the way it goes sometimes. But did the UFC release him out of dissaproval??? Absolutely not. Because, while its bad enough that he chose to take a break, losing his services altogether doesn’t make matters any better for the company.
You make a good point about the Couture melee but I think it was more counter to your argument than anything. I think Randy, during his hyatus, also took up acting. That he was in a movie is not my point, but his refusal to fight in the UFC pissed off Dana something awful. But he was not released because that would not remedy the situation any more than releasing Rampage would help this current mess.
It’s not that these fighters have more leverage than Dana, it’s just that it’s a different sort of leverage. They want to try other things while still under Zuffa contract. I am not here to discuss the ethics of those decisions, but the idea that if they are not released than the company supports their decision is what I can’t get behind and support. Releasing him makes matters worse, not better. So if Rampage is not released, and I am pretty sure he won’t be, I am not going to automatically assume that Zuffa is okay with all this.
Damn Jcohl, you make too much sense!
Ya hes got a realy bad habbit of it.
Everybody quit crying over this A-team crap!!! If i was dana i would be excited and ready to laugh all the way to the bank. Its practically free hype because everybody that doesn’t follow mma will want to see if the guy who plays mr t can really fight. Also dana doesn’t have to have co-headline main event with bj and sanchez since Evans-Rampage can sell pay-per-views by their names alone. Yeah it sucks we’ll have to wait for the fight but its not like the rest of the year isn’t loaded anyway and we get to see Rampage hopefully with a mohawk beating the crap out of stuntmen.
sempeckx2 *** *** ** ****, i told you rampage would be taking the movie. he said MTV confirmed that he wouldn’t be taking it.
Personal attacks aren’t quite weclome ~ FR702
ok take a deep breath and calm down. props for being right dude, but it doesnt make sempeck and
idiot. It makes MTV or whoever he got that information from look unreliable and in some people’s eyes yes. Idiots.Also, personal attacks usually catch the attention of the mods, and you probably don’t want that if you enjoy coming here…
Call a man out in the cage and allow your promotion company to reel in viewers along that premise, then bail for a movie? That is such a cool move that I have to support it 100%
Not.
If Chuck Lidell had called another fighter out personally and professionally, and advertisements under the franchise name were offered to the public under that guise, and THEN he opted for “Dancing With the Stars” instead; I’d not be his biggest fan lets just say.
I already had Rampage on my suspect for D-bag list and he just put himself straight at the top if this goes through. Period.edit~ FR702
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you here, bro, I’m just saying that maybe we should wait until all the facts are in before we label Jackson as a “d-bag”.
In spite of Jerod’s polite but probably off the mark disagreement, I’m reasonably sure that Jackson is acting, no pun intended, with at least a certain amount of sanction from Zuffa, and I’ll continue to be sure until such time that either Zuffa and Jackson are sitting at opposite tables in civil court, or Jackson dials up Scott Coker for a job…
Jcohl, you know me at heart. If Rampage’s actions here turn out to be the best thing for MMA in the long term I’m on board. And it potentially can be. Maybe I’m jumping the gun. It’s a 360 situation then, because on the surface you and I both know how this appears.
Apologies both to the Frenzy and to the mods. Need to watch getting on here while I have a few in me quite frankly.
I was looking on other MMA sites and I could not find a conformation of this article. Can mmabay be trusted?
Fighters need to prioritise on what is more important to them, they ve signed contracts with the ufc to fight and that s what they should do. only reason fghters should nt fight is through injury not because they ve got something on the side. Other projects should be worked around the ufc and they’re training not the other way round. You dont see other sports stars pulling out of their events because they fancy a crack at something else like acting. UFC needs to stamp this out before fighters think their bigger than the UFC which is not the case
I guess it’s easier to be in front of a camera than being punched in the face. I think he is making the right choice for himself. ” I don’t pity the fool”.
I think that this may also be a ploy to somewhat duck rashad. not saying that he’s running scared, but he has a real chance to get KTFO’d, and he knows this, and may be somewhat of a relief for him to get the role and not have to fight Rashad after all. Just sayin’ that hes been hyping this quite a bit as well, but then after the fact realises that Rashad will be the most dangerous fight he’s had in a long time.
Plus ive seen him in that “MMA” movie with BJ, GSP, Herring, and whoever else and hes not very good. makes me wonder
…oh, and I rented Big Stan last night. (kinda has to do with this thread, MMA stars in movies…) I thought it was great, and Bob Sapp was hilarious.
guys, this topic has not been confirmed nor denied with Rampage. i will reserve judgement on it until it is confirmed or denied. enough with the “black on black crime” that is one of the dumbest things ive heard in a long time. and im not even black.
even if this turns out to be wrong, please dont bash the frenzy or not use it anymore. kris is trying to keep us up to date with anything mma related, and every now and then rumors are started and they are just that…rumors. but if it isnt reported then, we dont know about it if this is the only site you use to get your mma fill of knowledge.
Has QJ or Dana confirmed that this is true. If he is playing B.A. It might not start filming until after the first of the year so who is to say the fight is cancelled yet.
im sorry. i am an idiot. i dont want to be kicked out.
i cant believe we lost Herring though he is an icon of the sport and a personal hero of mine.
yoyoma, below are Herring’s own words on the issue, with I believe with another MMA website, most probably NOT on the level of the frenZy.
Enjoy.
“It’s not that I’m not really happy with the UFC … It’s just, you know, like I said, I think that last fight just took a lot out of me. Now with acting, and things kind of taking off, it just left a bad taste in my mouth. And not necessarily with the UFC. Just with the training … you know, some of my trainers and things like that. I think I just needed a little time to step back and maybe do some other things for a little bit…And the other thing, too, is I know the Velasquez fight a lot of people were saying, ‘Oh, it’s a great fight.’ You know, I’ve been fighting for 13 years. You see the fight with [Frank] Mir and [Brock] Lesnar and Lesnar just pretty much dominated Mir, knocked him out in the second round, and beat the hell out of [Randy] Couture in the second round. And it’s like, Wow, I was the only one who was able to go the full time with that guy. It doesn’t really benefit me to go backwards and fight new up-and-comer guys. It’s not really what I’m there to do, or what I’m there for.”
I posted this just in case there way anyone out there that was unaware that Herring for the time being has sort of taken himself out of the mix…
Hard to deny but as my boy naturaldizaster says, the optics of this are just awful for Quenton Jackson as of this posting.
And as jimmy and bigchris2328 point out, we really need to get some sort of concrete word on the accuracy of this thing. In the past we’ve all been swerved by sketchy reports from all sorts of sources, including the UFC on occasion.
Also worth mentioning is that the integrity of the frenZy should NEVER be questioned just because Kris reports on the poor journalistic efforts of others, if this in fact turns out to be one of those instacnes.
I’m thinking our best course of action is to wait out the holiday weekend, which I hope you all enjoy, and check out what I’m sure will be either a Zuffa announcement or a Rampage announcement on Tuesday morning…
i always thought he would make a good “Junk Yard Dog” rather then “Mr.T”
if Dana didn’t help him out when he went CRAZY after losing the title, then i could see this Maybe being ok but only if the whole TUF thing was going on.
***** move if he does have the fight canceled! i would imagine the UFC will cut him, or i won’t be surprised if they just don’t have any fights for him after this!
edit~ FR702
since im in a lil rush i have only skimmed through the comments… but really now people…
do you think that rampage would be able to do this movie without the UFC’s permission? prolly not… i can see the phone call from rampage to dana right now…
Q: yo dana?
D: hey Q whats up?
Q: i just got a phone call from hollywood asking me to play the part of MR.T for the up coming A-Team movie..
D: thats sweet, i used to love that show
Q: well there is a bit of a problem…. they want to start filming right away and because of that i would have to drastically cut back on training for my upcoming 107 fight with rashad…
D: well that is a bit of a problem, but i will give rashad and a few other people a call to see what we can do
Q: that would be sweet, i still want to fight rashad but i want to be 100%, the folks in hollywood said i would be available to early 2010…
D: i wonder if we could get a movie trailier about the UFC event that we will get you and rashad headlining, to show before the movie…
.
.
.
.
.etc etc etc
Dana white would see this as an opportunity to make money and expand the veiwership audience…
all you people calling Q a D-bag is uncalled for and IMHO is fighter bashing…im pretty damn sure if you were in the same shoes you would do the same thing… and really why wouldnt you? make a movie, make a million, then train your ass off and fight again…its not like he went seeking a role(at least not from what i can tell) they sought out him… and obviously if he said yes to the movie then they must have offered him a very nice chunk of coin… a chunk large enough that dana would say ” take it “…
besides ive been waiting for YEARS for a A-Team movie… i cant wait, hannibal, face, murdock… oh its gonna be so sweet to watch jeeps go flying through the air and there passengers get ejected
edit~ FR702
I would have to say watch the quasi Bashing and the blah blah, why am I reposting stuff like this?
Because they’re paying you the big bucks to moderate this site…
My second time posting this sorry….Apologies both to the Frenzy and to the mods. Need to watch getting on here while I have a few in me quite frankly.
Felt i needed to post that where it’d be more visible…
why the **** are all these so called mixed martial artists wanting to be in movies and model and ****. its stupid. i couldnt believe it when rampage passed on the one thing he said was the most important to him, which was the title, to do a reality show. Now this? i loved Quinton.. Now im not too sure if he wants to be a fighter.
Thank you Teezy405..If this is true then it is total B/S!!! This kind of crap will destroy the craft…
Rampage got huge outside the UFC just FYI.. the UFC did not make Rampage Jackson. Anyways……… who cares ? Enuff good stuff going on in the LHW div without these guys.. Belfort is back..
Also since when is Bisping a “notable victory” ?
Sucks for the sport….
but it is hard to feel sorry for UFC as they always make their moves according to business. Other sports have ladders and the dates and opponents are not up to the whims of managment – so in a a way UFC – it’s right back at ya”
do onto others……..
