Yeah I think your right on that.
I'm pretty sure e TV has the final say on mostly everything. Otherwise, Junie Browning would have been off his season pretty early. e wanted to keep him because he got ratings.
Yeah I think your right on that.
Dana has backed off some lately with the mouth, i mean look at how he and o kissed and made up. This goes 1 of 2 ways
Dana rips Page in the press talking about his legal mess and how they stood bye him, how dare he pull this ??
or
They privately talk this out, and come to an agreement on when he is coming back, without any more war of words in the press.. I'm betting Lorenzo is in his ear telling him to not go overboard on this one with the temper..
I'm sure they will, the A-Team is not out until June of 2010, so what is he going to do after he is done with his filming in the next 4-6 weeks? It's not like offers will be rolling in, at least until people see how the movie and his role in it turn out. During that time, this will blow over..
Dana White should fight Vince McMahon that would be the .
It put my money on White
Dana's response..

"Rampage is a grown man," White told Carmichael Dave on the radio station KHTK (audio here). "He's acting like a baby right now, but he's a grown man. If he wants to be in the movie business, Rampage, good luck to you, man. I hope he makes it big, and I'm not being sarcastic. ... I hope the movie thing works out for him. If that's what he truly wants to do, and that's what he feels and that's what he thinks his career is, I wish him all the luck in the world."
White said he didn't get any advance warning from Jackson about the surprise retirement announcement and that he still likes Jackson personally, but that if Jackson wants to leave the UFC, White can't stop him.
"I just found out, too," White said. "Rampage has been a friend of ours. We really like Rampage. I'm not going to get into the battle of who's done what for who and all that stuff. We've done a lot for him and yes, he's been there and fought. The guys who come in here, they're fighters. That's what they do. We give them fights and they fight. And they make money and we make money. That's the way it works."
This will work out...
Don't forget rampage is ing over Rashad here with a big pay day and also ruining tuf by backing out. Dana has every right to be pissed and so should the fans. Does Dana have a stupid mouth? Yeah.... But he's right here.
Yeah...I think e has way more control than we can imagine. I'm pretty sure they even have say on about half the slots for Ultimate Fight Night. e isn't going to pay the UFC 100 and let them have complete control over programming.
I hate Shad I and am laughing a bit at him getting screwed over but I really wanted to see page drop his ass. DAMN YOU PAGE DAMN YOU!! For this I am officially boycotting the A team movie (not like anyone was going to see that piece of anyways)
Thats what worries me about Kimbo, I dont want a free ride for him into the finals.
Agreed but do you really care who did what wrong? I don't.. Lets just get Page back in the UFC pronto..
Rashad and Page will fight, i'm sure of it.. In a few weeks i would not be surprised if this is all worked out.. Page And Evans spent 6 weeks going at it on the show, they almost got into a brawl in the stands at UFC 100. This is just about Dana and Page, nothing more..
Pissing contest?
I kinda do on this one...this is a big deal...Rampage is screwing over the fans and Rashad pretty bad here when he back away from the fight.
In the end I don't care as long as he comes back, which he will. I am 100% sure.
Yeah im pretty sure too.
Well here's the thing, if Page and Dana had a few talks about this, and as Page says he told Dana flat out, how much this meant to him and was given the understanding that Dana was not happy but accepting of it, then went out and bashed him and the movie to the press that would mean Dana lied to Page. Something i know he has done a million times over to fighters, we all know Dana isn't a nice guy or honest, lets not pretend otherwise..
But Page ed up bad by agreeing to do TUF and then wanting to do this movie role. If he knew the chance might be around the corner to get this movie role then he should have passed on TUF, once he committed to it he needed to stay with that choice. It's clear something set Page off and i think it was Dana's mouth that did it.. So like i said it's just a pissing contest between these 2 guys. I see your point and i don't care about right or wrong, Page just needs to be back,
That's the bottom line..
well said!
Just remember someone like Rashad desperately needs something like TUF to really cash in on PPV's.

rashad on rampage
Did you hear what Rampage said about leaving the UFC? What do you think about it?
I think that him coming out and saying stuff like that was a bit premature. He's jumping the gun a little bit. Rampage is a very emotional fighter, a very emotional person, and he just let his emotions take over his rational thinking. I think that him and Dana White just probably need to talk it out, and get past it. I think it's just a breakdown in communication.
Dana's the kind of guy who is going to say what is on his mind, maybe without thinking it through all the way, before he said. Rampage is a hothead, as well. You get two tempers like that, go at each other like that, it makes the situation hard to work through.
What are your thoughts on not fighting him?
I'd be disappointed not to fight him. It would be a good fight, a fun fight, but mostly because he talked trash. He got me really angry, and I want to fight him just because of that alone. It's a fight that people want to see. You get your mind wrapped up, and you get your mind so psyched up about fighting a fighter, and then it doesn't happen, it's disappointing.
That's why I hate making a fight personal. At the end of the day, we're professional athletes, and we get paid to do a job. But when you get to fight someone you really want to fight, that's like a bonus. You'd almost do it for free.
its kinda like darts but with tinkle.
I'm willing to bet Lorenzo is talking with Page right now, trying to get this ironed out, he has been a go between in the past..
wow looks like im late, but i hope hes not done either. i was so looking forward to him and rashard.
lakaluva how is this the first time you have ever really talked MMA with us..
Good Stuff..
I hope this isn't true
glad you're here dudeI've been viewing for some time, just never posted. I use to train at Wild Card Gym, boxing that is, and fell in love with Gracie years ago. MMA is savage, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I watch a lot of previous fights on the link below.
