Rampage Jackson Says Joe Silva Should be Shot in the Face!
Rampage claims the UFC are railroading him so they have to pay him less - he went on a fair rant! Here it Is!
'Joe Silva should be shot'- Rampage wants out of UFC
Rampage Jackson has made his strongest play yet to be released from the UFC, claiming matchmaker Joe Silva should be "shot in the face", insisting the UFC does not respect him, and even hinting that somebody within the promotion may have been giving his opponents information about his injuries.
Jackson is not a happy man right now, having lost his last two fights and gone 3-3 in his last six. None of those bouts have seen him knock anybody out, which has seen his attraction as a fighter decline in a series of dull fights.
In Jackson's eyes, that is because he is coming towards the end of his current UFC contract - with one fight left - and he believes the UFC is trying to damage his reputation in order to justify a lowering of his pay. Why else, he asks, would matchmaker Silva keep giving an out-and-out striker fights against wrestlers like Ryan Bader?
"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," Rampage told Inside MMA. "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?
"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 getting 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 $5.
"I wish I didn't have to fight. I wish I didn't have any more fights with them (UFC). I'm trying to get out of this one fight."
Like any other fighter, Rampage stands to receive lower pay following back-to-back losses, first to champion Jon Jones and then to Bader. His next bout is unlikely to be the lead of a big pay-per-view, but Jackson is adamant the UFC could still promote him if it chose to do so.
"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're wrong. I didn't make all my money in the UFC. I got sponsors that help me out," Rampage continued.
"And the UFC talking about how they're in a billion homes, they're making all this money, but yet, I'm making 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 want to be with them no more. I don't wanna have to fight for somebody no more, if they not really appreciating me. I feel like I've got a lot of fans, and they don't tell me 'thank you' for putting my life on the line to fight, even when I'm injured. So, I'm done with them.
"When you get a fighter like me, that you can promote all around, 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."
Jackson's most damaging line may well have been reserved for his views on the loss to Rashad Evans, though, when he appeared to suggest Evans had been tipped off about his knee injury prior to the fight.
"The UFC, they're 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 fight, and they still talked crap about me. I did fight Rashad, but because I pulled out for the 'A-team' movie, I didn't get no 'thank you' or nothing like that. What I get is Rashad punching me in the knee. How did Rashad know my knee was hurt?"
Right now Rampage finds himself in the weakest bargaining position since he came to the UFC as a PRIDE champion. He can no longer demand the mega money and, if he does not start performing, he will find his pulling powers have diminished enough for the UFC not to fear losing him to other MMA organisations. That scenario, it seems, has Rampage wanting out now.
"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 nothing. I just don't get the respect that I should get.
"I was injured [against Bader]. I was barely walking, but I made the fight, and the thanks I get is Dana White saying, 'Oh, he looks terrible,' and Dana knew I was hurt. So, after that I was like, 'I ain't putting my life on the line for these guys no more.'
"They know what was going on and they still try to make me look bad. They're trying to make me lose my fan base. In my opinion, that's what they're trying to do. 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 going 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."

guess the color.

Another cry baby oversensitive guy. Shut the hell up already. Always bitching about money so annoying.
-
Rampage is right, and I hate Dana White.
Dana is a businessman first, with no respect for the sport whatsoever.
Not only does he have no respect, he's a disrespectful piece of shit. He did the same thing with Tito--assassinated his market value.

He should be more grateful, most niggas only fight in KFC

Agreed. (not with your n word terminology though).
Sounds like sour grapes to me. The guy never evolved. Has zero ground game. He's a one dimensional brawler and doesn't win fights because of it.
Sour grapes.

Just look at some of his old pride fights. The guy has actually regressed a lot stylistically in the last 6-7 years. He's a flat footed head hunter that's it.
He was a fucken wild man back in pride.

Yeah but everybody performed better back in Pride. Look at Mirko.
Probably because they didn't test like they do in the UFC. In Pride everyone was juiced.
Look at Sonnen--dude fights with that same ferocity and he's juiced too.
-
Sounds like an unhappy loser.
Well past his prime, hope he moves on and shuts the fuck up.
-
what a greedy fuck. he lost his 2 last fights why is he whining
-
Honestly, I used to love Rampage. He's got a funny sense of humor.
What really kinda turned me was when he ridiculed that fat kid on TUF that one season. "titties" or something like that. It's funny, yes, but so unprofessional. And he took it way too far. You can be funny, but don't do it at someone else's expense. (unless warranted cause the guy's an asshole).

Same here man. That was the turning point for me to. He's a big time bully! I wanted to see him get knocked out bad for that. He doesn't think that kids family is going to be watching the show. Why would he pick on someone that bad. You say one thing to him he cries about it. A bully and a baby.

Man I loved the titties TUF season. Rampage was hilarious - anybody who gets upset about being called titties, should not be a fighter, the dude had titties, turned up at the UFC with his titties and expected to be taken serious as a fighter - come on now - the dudes got titties! Seriously, that dude was a homo, should have never been a fighter, real fighters trash talk with no boundaries, they don't cry when called "Titties"
Plus the only reason he was upset is because he knew he had titties and Rampage pointed it out - sometimes it's best to address the elephant in the room and get it over with. HA HA that was so funny - Titties! I love Rampage!

Yep.
Pick on someone who is an asshole, ya know? That titties fighter was harmless. Guys probably so self conscious now as a result.
This world would be a better place if people considered others' feelings every now and then.

Newsflash just in : Fighters are far from "Harmless", to be a fighter you need not only a strong mind, but a strong body - titties had neither - Rampage did him a favor - any decent opponent would have called him much worse.

I don't feel to worried about the 'feelings' of a guy that strives to pound peoples' faces in.
sport of peace ::)

I really don't know where to start with this post.
One, you assume I am American - so that means you must be American! (Average American is unaware that countries outside the ones it invades actually exist)
And two! you stated that "Titties" the fighter was harmless, and I stated that "Fighters are far from harmless" so what have I not comprehended.

1) I did that for effect
2) Can you even clarify why you are being a whiny bitch and not just post juvenile nonsense
3) Normal people respond to the post and not just offer up some narcissistic drivel that has no relevance than to boost the posters fragile self esteem!

I'd normally agree and say he's being a whiny bitch but he does have some good points. He's a bit washed up but I can see where he's coming from. There's a lot of bullshit that they put up with and you can't just throw money at problems like that. He hasn't performed the way he used to but all the side bullshit compounds too and that's got to be tough to deal with.
A bit of a whiny bitch but he's onto something. Needs to get the ferocity back like mak said. He's very flat footed and doesn't move around the octagon very much. Just stands there and throws. I agree with the poor match making and shitty fucking wrestlers though. If I wanted to watch wrestling I'd fucking watch wrestling. They need to bring in yellow cards and get the refs to stand shit up if nothing's happening. I appreciate a good ground match but humping and being a blanket is the most annoying thing in the universe to watch.
-
I've said it before, Rampage was done with MMA a long time ago.
He has other priorities, like his children and the mother of his child, to now worry/care about.
He has been looking for easy paydays for quite some time and the UFC suits aren't stupid enough to not catch on to his tactics.
He wanted to get into Hollywood and soon realized that besides a role like the one he had on the "A-Team", he wasn't going to get any leading character roles. He also wants to be a rapper and take part in video game creation.
What he doesn't want to do is fight. He has no heart in the ring..

I doubt this is gonna happen.
My guess is what this boils down to is Rampage isn't hungry in a monetary sense. It's the poor fighters coming up that train hard etc because their bank rolls are nonexistent.
However, who knows what Page is worth.
-
Rampage seems like an honorable guy.
He admitted that Machida gave him a run and probably beat him.
He has respect for the sport.
Give Machida and Rampage a rematch with the loser being ousted.

Oh yeah, I think it's lost forever too. I'm just saying that's what he needs to do... it's gone though. Maybe if he juiced hardcore and trained again but I don't think he's even got a one in a million chance. It slipped away a while back.
I was so pumped to see him come to the UFC too. I remember telling all my friends about him but he had a bit of a rocky start. A couple good scraps and then you could tell it was gone. Sucks to see all the great Pride fighters fight so shitty in the UFC. I still don't agree that the fighters in Japan only fought cans or that it was stagged... just a lack of PEDs, different atmosphere, octagon and lots of other bullshit. In Japan the fighters are treated like Gods and I think that with the easy access to PEDs and no testing, there was a lot less bullshit for them to worry about. They just fought, put on a fucking awesome show and arenas were sold out with ease. I really miss the old Pride days.

Same here. Most of my friends are casual mma fans. I boasted about Page at that UFC event where he fought Marvin Eastman.. then he has a lackluster performance.

He should be more grateful, most niggas only fight in KFC
;D ;D ;D

Guy had so many tools before. Good TDD defense, slams, and he use to throw some pretty mean knees and kicks. He wants to knock guys out all the time now and he hasn't since he caught Wand with that counter.
When he lost to Forrest Griffen in that close decision I think that was the last of the old Rampage.
I wish he would stop complaining about the match making though. No one really gets any easy matches now a days.

Personally, I think Rampage just misses all the love, perhaps he mistook fan adulation for genuine concern about him as a human being - and when the fans move on, and fans eventually do, poor Rampage is left wondering what the fuck happened! A dude like Rampage will always be alright in my book, Funny, Charisma, Courageous, Tough Fighter and not afraid to say what he feels!

Yeah, he sort of seems like a movie star who's fallen out of the lime light. He seems confused and frustrated. He doesn't have the same support or environment he did when he was a huge star in Japan.
Again, for that reason too I think that's why a lot of the old Pride fighters haven't fared so well state side. I confide that part of the fan boy in me might be saying that, but I still can't believe that they're that poor fighters. They've all done really shitty in the US though. Either way it's been fucking heart breaking. Rampage looked pretty good for a bit during his last fight but then he surely started to slow down again... I knew it was going to go down that way but it was still a little crushing.

Yeah, Poor Rampage is in a Fighters NO MANS LAND - every one fights for different reasons, I think Rampage did it for all the LOVE - with the LOVE waning, Rampage doesn't have the heart for fighting no more - Rampage just needs a few sexy japanese girls, a pretty white woman, a big tittied one, a small cute one, you know - Some Love ::) ;D - but seriously - Rampage need LOVE to fight - and there is none left for the old guard!

Same here man. That was the turning point for me to. He's a big time bully! I wanted to see him get knocked out bad for that. He doesn't think that kids family is going to be watching the show. Why would he pick on someone that bad. You say one thing to him he cries about it. A bully and a baby.

Man, bunch of softcocks on this site, are you serious - are you really hurt over RAMPAGE TEASING ANOTHER FIGHTER! That's Insanity! All Fighters know that Fighting is mostly Mental, and Titties didn't have it! Man, anyone who bitches about that seriously needs to check their tackle and make sure they are still a man. I can understand Women complaining about that, but not other men! Fighting is about Psyching out people, it is an art! and at times rampage can be a master - do you see Rashad backing down to Rampages trash talk, No because Rashad is a Fighter and a Man. Titties was just a chubby boy with a shitty attitude, if you actually watch the whole show, Titties is a complete douchebag!

Titties has lost the last 5 of his 6 fights.
Titties is a Specialist in the United States Army, and returned to active duty following the fight with McSweeney. After arriving at Ft Benning to undergo the army physical he was found out to have high blood pressure and released from active duty and sent back to the Individual Ready Reserve.
At the conclusion of UFC 107, Titties was released from the UFC
Titties was last seen working at the drive through of a popular burger chain sporting some massive man titties!

I don't mind a little goofing around. He takes things to far though. He takes things to far with interviewers he takes things to far with fans sometimes to. His jokes suck. I like the humble guys who treat others with respect. Cracking a few jokes on titties would of been funny. He wouldn't stop pressing it though. He went to far imo.

There is no such thing as taking it too far! When two men don't like each other, well, All is fair in love & WAR!
Also rampage is very humble, Rampage isn't proud or arrogant! He has helped many of his friends and family financially and always gives an honest and realistic analysis where it is due, he always praises his opponents when they have fought well against him. Personally, I think more men like Rampage are needed and less Men like Titties!

Rampage Jackson Says Joe Silva Should be Shot in the Face!

'Joe Silva should be shot'- Rampage wants out of UFC
Rampage Jackson has made his strongest play yet to be released from the UFC, claiming matchmaker Joe Silva should be "shot in the face", insisting the UFC does not respect him, and even hinting that somebody within the promotion may have been giving his opponents information about his injuries.
Jackson is not a happy man right now, having lost his last two fights and gone 3-3 in his last six. None of those bouts have seen him knock anybody out, which has seen his attraction as a fighter decline in a series of dull fights.
In Jackson's eyes, that is because he is coming towards the end of his current UFC contract - with one fight left - and he believes the UFC is trying to damage his reputation in order to justify a lowering of his pay. Why else, he asks, would matchmaker Silva keep giving an out-and-out striker fights against wrestlers like Ryan Bader?
"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," Rampage told Inside MMA. "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?
"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 getting 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 $5.
"I wish I didn't have to fight. I wish I didn't have any more fights with them (UFC). I'm trying to get out of this one fight."
Like any other fighter, Rampage stands to receive lower pay following back-to-back losses, first to champion Jon Jones and then to Bader. His next bout is unlikely to be the lead of a big pay-per-view, but Jackson is adamant the UFC could still promote him if it chose to do so.
"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're wrong. I didn't make all my money in the UFC. I got sponsors that help me out," Rampage continued.
"And the UFC talking about how they're in a billion homes, they're making all this money, but yet, I'm making 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?

"When you get a fighter like me, that you can promote all around, 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."

Right now Rampage finds himself in the weakest bargaining position since he came to the UFC as a PRIDE champion. He can no longer demand the mega money and, if he does not start performing, he will find his pulling powers have diminished enough for the UFC not to fear losing him to other MMA organisations. That scenario, it seems, has Rampage wanting out now.
"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 nothing. I just don't get the respect that I should get.

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 going 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 love Rampage. He is one of my favorite fighters ever, and we should all be grateful that there are still a few PRIDE heroes fighting in the inferior UFC today.
I also agree with Rampage that he won that fight with Bader, and that wrestling should be curtailed in MMA if we want more exciting fights.
But Rampage is clearly bitter. A few months ago he was yelling about how he wanted his belt back, and now he wants out of the UFC? Obviously upset that he is on a losing streak. And the one who should be shot in the face is Jon Jones.

Man I loved the titties TUF season. Rampage was hilarious - anybody who gets upset about being called titties, should not be a fighter, the dude had titties, turned up at the UFC with his titties and expected to be taken serious as a fighter - come on now - the dudes got titties! Seriously, that dude was a homo, should have never been a fighter, real fighters trash talk with no boundaries, they don't cry when called "Titties"
Plus the only reason he was upset is because he knew he had titties and Rampage pointed it out - sometimes it's best to address the elephant in the room and get it over with. HA HA that was so funny - Titties! I love Rampage!

Because I love ground fights. Fighting on the ground is definitely a part of mixed martial arts.
My criticism is not of ground fights, but of wrestlers who take their opponents down and hump on them to win decisions instead of trying to finish them with ground-and-pound by TKO or submitting them.
I have no problems with ground fights as long as the guy who take the fight down tries to finish his opponent, but I do have a problem with wrestlers who take their opponents down, put them on their back and keep them there with no intention of finishing them until the bell rings to win decisions. That is the problem.

Agreed. I hate when one-sided wrestlers take fighters down and don't try to submit or at least mount and GNP.
*disclaimer: once and a great blue moon when I do agree with SMM doesn't mean I condone or agree with 99% of his viewpoints. ;D

Shoguns going to beat this piss out of Rampage again.
-
Honestly, i'd like to think Rua will beat Page, but really, I haven't seen too much of Rua in his past few fights. He also seems to be a little one sided in using just his striking. He needs to get back to a better ground game with Page.
I can see this going all 3 rounds with a dicision for Rua... unless Page really doesn't train, then I see TKO Rua in the second.
-
Shogun is still fast and very diverse with his striking. He will soften Page up with his vicious leg kicks.

I love Rampage. He is one of my favorite fighters ever. But Shogun at 100% beats him 9 out of 10 times.
Shogun is just more well-rounded as a striker, has a superior clinch game and is superior to Rampage on the ground with destructive ground-and-pound.
Shogun will either clinch with Rampage and knee him to a coma just like in their first fight, or he will keep his distance to avoid Rampage's power and use leg kicks to hurt him and then when Rampage is tired he will move in and TKO him.
Anyway, this is a dream fight for me as I have been waiting 6 years for this rematch, and I will be happy with whoever wins.
