    This Shogun would beat Machida.
    Damn that he was a beast. He raped Rampage.


    But yeah, Rampage is scared of nobody, he would fight Fedor. The man has huge balls and has that mentality. His chin is unbelievable. People always mention Penn, Nog.. But Rampage is up there. His ability to take a blow, without being knocked out is crazy.
    I'll miss him fight.

    lets not forget Dana made tons of money off of Rampage, Dana didn't lose money financing Rampages legal woos. That is what we call "protecting your investment" don't confuse that with having a heart. Remember dicks may have veins but they don't have hearts.

    A new blog entry posted Thursday under Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s name on the fighter’s official Web site says the former UFC light heavyweight champion is speaking out because he has been disrespected by the UFC.

    “The reason why I'm talking about all this is that I feel like this whole situation could have been avoided if UFC would have respected me more & rescheduled the fight about a month or more in my hometown, which I know fights can be rescheduled because of the Matt Hughes & Matt Serra was postponed due to injuries,” the entry explains.

    On Tuesday a blog post attributed to Jackson responded to UFC President Dana White’s criticism of the fighter for taking a role in the movie “The A-Team,” which has delayed an anticipated matchup between Jackson and Rashad Evans. The entry posted Thursday praises the UFC’s treatment of fighters compared to Pride but then criticizes White’s handling of Jackson’s decision to do the movie.

    “… Dana went on the internet & started talking bad about my decision,” the entry reads. “All we had to do was come to a certain type of argreement or understanding, which later came after a lot of trash talk from Dana. My manager flew to Vegas & talked to them & tried to work things out like a MAN. & still I keep quite & I didn't talk trash back on the internet. The only reason why I'm even talking now is because I feel like I owe my fans an explanation because I am a MAN, a real MAN. Yeah I made good money with the UFC more than Pride, but I made both shows more money than they made me. I didn't care too much about Pride treating me like crap cause I was an American in a Japanese company. Now in my own country, I feel like I'm being disrepected. Everything is not about how much money you make. You could be the richest man in the world but if nobody repsects you then it don't mean s--t. You can't buy respect. It should be earned. & thats what I'm all about.”

    The UFC has not responded to Sherdog’s requests for comment, but in an interview Tuesday with Carmichael Dave on Sports 1140 on KHTK AM, White denied that his public comments had hurt Jackson’s movie career.

    The Thursday entry on Jackson’s site also fires back at Rashad Evans:

    “Now Rashad wanna put his two cents in. Rashad remains to be a boy under me. He wins a few fights, and some of them I thought the judges fell asleep during the fight & woke up & saw him playing with his nipples & guessed he won. He knocked Chuck Liddel out when Chuck wasn't even the same man anymore. & now he thinks he's on my level. Yeah he talks about how he beat Forrest & I lost. But when I fought Forrest that was the worst Rampage I had ever seen. & I still know in my heart I won that fight. So now he's Mr. All Cocky & says I got a big mouth & talk a lot of smack. If my memory serves me correctly, he's the one that got into my face after the Jardine fight & started talking trash when he was the one that was originally supposed to fight me that night, but he told Dana on the phone he didn't want to fight. He wanted to keep his belt longer. Now, I'm not saying wether or not I would have beaten Machida, but I wouldn't have went out like a b---h like the way he did.”

    The entry concludes as follows:

    “When I told Dana I did not want my belt back & that I just wanted to make money, it was around the time when they gave me Vanderlei & actually it was around the same time when my mind wasn't right (my mind was at TRUCK status) & that's the way I felt because I felt I had been robbed out of my belt. After the Jardine fight I did want my belt back because my family was so proud of me when I was champion & I want to make my family proud cause now I finally feel like my family cares about me & they accept me & this is what I've been wanting my whole childhood... for my family to like me. If I got to beat some ass for my family to like me, so be it. But now, I'm a grown man & I'll be damned if anybody disrespects me. I'm not having it, it's not happening!”

    Typical.

    He goes completely out of his way to keep Rampage out of jail and he's a bad guy for it.

    He doesn't do it, and he's a bad guy for not doing it.

    No not at all, that's not what I'm implying. I am just saying that the chance to fight Shogun for the title and revenge will be enough to draw him back. He's leaving for other reasons, I'm just playing with things that might get him back.

    If I was Rampage i would be pissed after the Griffin fight, the only thing Griffin did was kick Rampahe in the leg once and Griffin took the belt.
