Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson vs. Joe Silva
“I think Joe Silva needs to be slapped in the face, I’m sorry!” Rampage told Inside MMA in 2012. “If you got a fighter like me who likes to go out and fight, they are giving me wrestlers who are going to take me down and hump me.”
“This is why I’m leaving the UFC, I don’t understand what Joe Silva’s doing. Joe Silva have a complex, something’s wrong with him. The guy can’t match shoes!”
Jackson also criticized Dana White for lacking empathy when he fought Forrest Griffin, despite suffering from several injuries.
“I was barely walking, but I made the fight, and the thanks I get is Dana saying, ‘Oh, he looks terrible,’ and Dana knew I was hurt. So, after that I was like, ‘I ain’t puttin’ my life on the line for these guys no more.'”
Sure enough, after seeing out the last fight on his contract, Rampage left for Bellator.
