Rampage is supposedly done with MMA.




I'm done fighting..
The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them. The UFC bought WFA to get my contract & they saved my life, so I felt loyal to them. They pushed me into a fight with Chuck Liddel even when I clearly stated I wasn't ready to fight for the belt because the American fans didn't know me but I took the fight and didn't complain & after I won the American fans booed me for the first time which changed the way I saw them & it hurt me deeply.

Then before I can even get out of the cage they announced that I was fighting Dan Henderson without even asking me. After I beat Dan Henderson, I made history in becoming the first undisputed champion in MMA but was never even given the pride belt in the cage & I was never promoted as the undisputed champ. Later Anderson Silva was.

Then they had me coach TUF season 7 and fight Forrest and the fight was very controversial & normally when a fight is that close & controversial there is normally an instant replay. I can name a couple of instances. Instead they offered me the Vanderlei Silva fight which I gladly accepted even though I know it was a very risky fight for me to take because of all the drama that was happening to me at the time. I fought that fight with a jaw injury and then a couple weeks later Dana called me and asked me to fight Rashad. For the first time I said no, I didn't want to fight because it was such short notice & I wouldn't have had a long break between camp. Dana talked me into fighting Rashad anyway but Rashad refused the fight and so I had to fight Jardine as a favor to the UFC instead of getting my belt back (which wasn't even worth it to me financially).

Then I reinjured my jaw in the fight with Vanderlei & Jardine. Frank Mir gets hurt so they wanted to switch my fight from UFC 100 to the fight Frank couldn't make it to but I couldn't fight cause I needed jaw surgury. So they give Machida the fight against Rashad & they told me they want me to coach TUF season 10 against Rashad. That's why I wanted Rashad to win so bad but when Rashad got knocked out I told them I wanted to fight Machida for the belt but Dana told me if I coach TUF against Rashad that I could fight Machida afterwards cause this was a different type of ultimate fighter show they were doing. After I signed the contract Dana then changes his mind & says I have to fight Rashad & even told me what to say in the press & so my fans think I was scared to fight Machida. After all that I still never complained & I did it all.

Then 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 bullshit & 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!

His take down defense was on par with last weeks loser. Shrivers grabs his foot so he just twists gives up and falls over, it was sad and funny.

Maybe they were counting shots that landed and not shots that mattered because he would of won that way with his meaningless kick and runs.

Less than 24 hours after former UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton “Rampage” Jackson announced his retirement from the sport of mixed martial arts, it appears that today is Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic’s turn as reports have surfaced the striker is pulling the plug on his illustrious career.

MMABay.com is reporting that Cro Cop’s manager, Zvonimir Lucic, has spoken with Igor Pokrajcom and Sasa Muènjak, two of CC’s training partners, and informed them that camp will be terminated based on the heavyweight’s decision not to fight again.

The site claims that both fighters were given their final payoff.

Cro Cop was thoroughly dominated by a much younger and hungrier Junior dos Santos this past weekend at UFC 103 and it left many, including the Croatian himself, questioning if he had anything left in the tank.

“I have twenty years of training like a spartan behind me. It has caught up with me, my body is broken down. I’ve been worn out,” Filipovic said at the UFC 103 post-fight presser.

UFC president Dana White didn’t disagree with Cro Cop’s assessment, even kicking the retirement door wide open for the 35-year-old.

“You get to a certain age where you remember what you used to be able to do, and you can see all the openings. You just can’t pull the trigger. I think that’s where he’s at,” White said of CC’s current state.

If that was indeed the last time we’ve seen him, UFC fans never got a taste of who the REAL Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic was. Although it was never really displayed inside the Octagon, he possessed one of the deadliest kicks in the history of the sport and will leave the game with an impressive 25-7-2 pro mark.

However, only a mundane 2-3 for the world’s biggest MMA organization.

:(

I want to see the Spider fight Lyoto. I wouldn't be so sure that Silva would come out with a victory. Machida is fighting Rua and I don't like that fight match, if there's one guy I don't like is Rua. ahh

Silva refuses to fight machida they are close freinds and sparring parteners they know each others every move.

I like Dan, but the Spider beat him before and would likely do it again.

henderson is the only guy in the UFC that has won a round against silva. henderson was on his way to winning before he got caught by one good punch that lead to alot of other good punches lol. to beat silva you have to be flawless and I think dan could pull it off he has done better than anyone else so far.

Oh without a doubt, but while both have improved since their last fight I believe Silva has improved even more than Dan. I don't even think (at least I haven't) we've even seen Silva open up his offense fully. He just sits back on defense and waits for his opponent to make a mistake, I'm curious as to what he could do if he went on the attack for once.

I still think that Lyoto Machida would beat "The Spider" just my opinion. Too bad they're close friends because that would be a hell of a match. I'd settle for a Machida vs Jackson fight though lol And you're right David, even though Dan has shown improvement, so has Silva and I'm pretty sure Silva would come out victorious once again.

I need to see more of Machida to form an opinion of him, all I've seen is the knockout highlight of Rashad. :lol:

But if Silva is involved I'm interested.
