In an EXCLUSIVE interview conducted by MMABay earlier this week, former UFC light heavyweight champion, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson has taken aim at UFC colour commentator, Joe Rogan, saying he needs to find himself a new job, as well as commenting on what he describes as the fakers within the UFC.

Speaking about his imminent return to the UFC, the people he will run into and the controversial loss to Forrest Griffin last summer, “Rampage” said:

“If anyone says I’m not the champion of the UFC they need to come step in the cage with me. Joe Rogan, that guy needs to go get a new job. He needs to go back to being a comedian cos that guy’s so biased towards anyone who’s not a Jiu-Jitsu geek. If you watch that fight with the volume down it’s a totally different fight from when Joe Rogan’s big ass mouth is talking. I’m just on the outside looking at the UFC right now, I took myself outside the box and now when I watch the UFC I don’t watch the UFC as fighter from them, I watch it as a spectator and a fan but knowing the stuff I know from behind the scenes and I see some people making asses of themselves.”

“But me, I’m always gonna be the one who keeps telling the truth, I can’t fake it for nobody, it’s not who I am, I can’t fake reality. It’s just not the person I am. I just want the world to know when I come back to the UFC to fight my fights, you know who you are, you know your fake, you know you don’t like me, don’t try and smile in my face cos I ain’t having it. There’s no more Mr. nice guy. Don’t say nothing to me, don’t speak to me, don’t even look at me. Stay out of my way. Let me do my job, you gotta do your job and I ain’t got nothing for you. You know who you are, cos I know who you are.”

Jackson is set to return to the UFC’s octagon following a number of months filming the big screen version of The A-Team. It’s clear after spending a few months away from the octagon Jackson has a new perspective on life within MMA and has revealed he may hang up his gloves for good once his current contract is complete.

Why is everyone hating on rampage? he is speaking the truth. You can listen to Rogan and be like... this guy won it no proble, but when the judges come with the cards and say something else your like WTF JUST HAPPEN.

you literally have to watch the fights on mute if they are close and really look at it.

Only a complete fool or someone who is new and ignorant (not stupid--just new to the sport AKA a noob to MMA) needs to mute a fight to see who the winner of the fight is.

If Rogan or Goldie sway you one way or another, please don't ever go into a room hosting a scientologist seminar.

If you guys wanna talk about biased commentating, you need to listen to Frank Mir when Miguel Torres is fighting. You can clearly tell that Torres is Mir's favorite fighter!

Back on topic, I like Rogan sometimes, but he does get on my nerves a little bit at times. For instance when Guida went for a spinning back kick against Diego Sanchez, and then rethought it and just spun around and put his leg back down, Rogan was talking about Guida tying to break dance. I dunno maybe it was just me but I don't find him very humorous when he is trying to be funny sometimes.

Comes off as condescending sometimes definitely.

It's funny that everyone who says Rampage is right are all painted red.

I agree Joe is biased at times but as I said it doesn't affect the judges decisions so it shouldn't matter. Also Rampage isn't right because he's a professional athlete and he's acting like a pre schooler whining about every little thing and talking shit about everyone in the company who got him where he is today.

Other pro athletes who acted like this haven't flourished and pretty much got shafted, like Terrel Owens playing in one of the shittiest teams in the NFL because nobody wants him on their team.

Now I just want to see Rampage fight stiff competition and see if he can backup all this shit he's talking.

Guys that used to be Rampage's biggest fans are talking about him now like he's a washed-up nobody chump.

People that once overrated - at least in my opinion - Rampage are now calling him a bum.


I love it.


But it makes me think. Let's put a scenario where Rampage doesn't get back with the UFC - too much bad blood or whatever - and jumps ship to SF. What does that do to the UFC? I know UFC supporters have said, there's no way they can get knocked off, they have too much talent. Well... Yes, but more and more we're seeing internal cracks in the framework of Dana White's little club and it doesn't look like the organization is handling its growing pains all too well.

You say that the UFC has a lot of staying power, but lose a Hendo here, a Rampage there, and what?

I'm not saying that Rampage will jump ship from the UFC for another fight org or that this would mean the end of the UFC if he did - I don't think that's the case at all. However, it does seem like a trend that I would be worried about if I were a Zuffa exec.

He can't, he's still under contract. The UFC would have to release him of his contract and they wouldn't do that. Rampage's only option is to meet his contractual agreement and then go to another organization, or he'd be forced to retire and never fight in MMA again.

Agreed. Machida/Rua was extremely close. With the exception of Rampage dropping Forrest in the first round, Rampage didn't do much. Forrest had a triangle but let go so he wouldn't be slammed, he was landing good combinations, and was landing leg kicks as well. He had Rampage limping around the cage during the fight.

ppl cant seem to look past Rampages mouth and REMEMBER that he is way more battle tested then Rashad, has a way more proven chin and when he uses it more impressive takedowns/slams and wrestling (remember he outgrappled Dan Henderson). Rashad on the other hand was losing to Chuck til he landed a bomb, losing to Forrest til he landed a bomb, didnt look impressive against Bisping. Rashad is definately a good fighter but he hasnt totally proven his staying power at the top of the division like Rampage has IMO infact i think he got the title from the weakest champion in awhile (not to mention a title shot after beating Chuck) in any division and i like Forrest but we will never see him with gold in the UFC ever again.

Ppl thinking Rampage is just gonna go out there and get smashed are in for the same shock Wanderlei fans for Rampage/Wandy 3.

I just hope Page trains hard and comes hard but considering it's gonna be Rashad and bigtime ego on the line, i would expect nothing less.

I agree Joshua (post below me), the T. Silva fight is gonna be a good gauge of where Rashad is at, i just hope he doesnt get embarrassed like vs Machida as it would ruin some of the hype around Page/Evans

You have a good point. I cant stand the poor me attitude that Rampage has been displaying lately, but the dude can fight. I wanna see how Rashad handles Thiago Silva at 108, but as of right now I think that Rampage will be able to KO Rashad when they fight.

I think so too. Rashad's biggest win in my opinion was Chuck. And during that right he was losing most of the exchanges till that one big overhand he landed. Page on the other hand beat Chuck twice both times during Chuck's prime. I suspect if Chuck can tag Rashad a few times within 2 rounds, that Page granted if he hit Rashad a few times within 2 rounds would be more devastating. He clearly hits harder then Chuck and has a battle tested chin.
