Rampage Jackson Retires From Fighting.

[P4PGOAT]

"The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them … this movie role came about that I have been trying to get for over a year & as soon as I found out I was close to getting it, I called Dana right away & asked to push the Memphis fight back just a month or so. I told him what this movie role meant to me. I told him that I used to bond with my father watching the tv show as a kid when my parents where still married & it represents the memories I had with my father when we lived together. My dad became an alcohalic & addicted to drugs & we grew apart. But after my dad got his life back together, I was so proud of my dad & I told him I would always take care of him in the future & make him proud of me. My dad & I are still very big fans of the show & I am basically doing this for the childhood memories I had spending time in front of the tv with my dad. Dana went on the internet & mocked me because of that & I still did nothing. Dana & I finally talked & we made up & then after that he went back on the internet & said some bull**** & he was talking bad about the movie when information is not even supposed to be released & talking about payments which is not even true could really hurt my future acting career, which could very well last longer than my fighting career. I’m not like Randy Couture. My body has been getting so many different injuries that I wont be able to fight until my forties & neither do I want to fight that long. So I feel like my second career could be in jeopardy.. so I’m done fighting. I’ve been getting negative reviews from the dumb ass fans that don’t pay my bills or put my kids though college. So I’m hanging it up. I’m gonna miss all my loyal fans but hopefully they’ll follow me to my new career & I will gain more loyal fans along the way. & all you hater fans out there can kiss my big black hairy ass! & anybody that don’t like what I just said can come try to kick my ass! I still feel the UFC is a great organization and I felt like I was very loyal to them but they didn’t respect my loyalty but I wish the UFC the best. I did a lot of things for them. I wish no bad blood between us but I have kids & a family back in Memphis to provide for & thats all that matters to me!"

sounds way too articulate for rampage.

and he will def fight again.

[Rudyo]

haha rampage got dana good, I wonder what they'll do about the trash talk on TUF now?

[BrooklynBomber]

He might be done fighting, but I just became his fan.

[We want Floyd]

Is he following the Mayweather Jr script?





And for his comeback fight, he'll be fighting B.J. Penn at 205lbs, hehe

[StillUnknown]

that man's mind aint been right since he lost to Forrest

he'll be back right after he realized he wont make it in Hollywood

he ****ed over rashad and the fans on this one though

[Mr. President]

Chalk up another loss for MMA. Now that Rampage made the wise decision to leave BJ Penn is the only semi-decent boxer left in the sport.

[American_Ninja]

Should have seen this coming. I bet his movie will be a huge flop.

[StillUnknown]

Should have seen this coming. I bet his movie will be a huge flop.

and he will crawl back to the UFC

[MJ406]

yeah I don't think Rampage has the mainstream appeal to become a crossover star

is his name even that well known (he's probably most known for beating Chuck twice)

if he does retire, I don't expect it'll be for too too long.

I wanted Rashad to retire him.
