Rampage Jackson Leaves UFC, MMA for Hollywood
Over the summer, news leaked that MMA fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was cast to play B.A. Baracus in the ‘A-Team’ reboot, which is slated for next year. To make the movie fit in his schedule, Jackson pulled out of a Dec. 12 match against Rashad Evans. That didn’t make UFC prez Dana White too happy. According to Comcast Sports, White called out Rampage at a press conference last week.
“I feel like he (expletive) me,” White said. “I can’t force any of these guys to fight. If you don’t want to fight, then you’re not gonna fight. If you’d rather be on the set of ‘The A-Team,’ then you definitely don’t belong in the Octagon.”
Jackson could no longer hold his tongue and announced through his blog that he’s no longer fighting — at 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,” Jackson wrote. “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.
“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 and could really hurt my future acting career, which could very well last longer than my fighting career,” Jackson continued. “I’m not like Randy Couture. My body has been getting so many different injuries that I won’t 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.”
Do you think this is a good career move for Rampage Jackson?
