I pity the fool who tries to defeat Dana White.
Dana White, UFC President (and indeed a male even though the first name Dana), has been irate over one of his UFC superstars, Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson. Rampage is one of the most popular UFC fighters over the past years, but why would the UFC President be upset about one of his 'superstars'? First off, Dana White can find anger even through listening to a child's laughter. Second off, he was conned into believing that Rampage would not be playing B.A. Baracus (or Mr. T) in the upcoming A-Team movie. Not so fast my friend. Rampage has Hollywood visions of his own, and the sport that he represents can take a backseat. The backseat representing one of the biggest fights of this year, UFC 114 vs. Rashad Evans. White could've snapped Rampage in two at the press conference. Anyways, the results-Rashad had his way with Rampage even though the final score was 30-27. The movie-we're not entirely sure yet.
Was it right for Rampage to follow his Hollywood visions and take his sight off of UFC?
Well, I'm laughing, not pitying, the fool Rampage. One of the biggest trash-talking guys of the octagon (even before this match), he deserved the lost. He disappointed not only himself but his many fans who wait months in between his fights. He disgraced the sport as well as President White. Of course, one can't make any UFC fighter fight, but it's common etiquette to put your attention to the sport you represent. Sure, advertisements are a different story but a full length film? Are you kidding me? As things are looking more and more dismal for Rampage's career in the octagon, maybe Mr. T can jumpstart his acting career.
