UFC: TUF Season 10 just got interesting

CBRich · 07-28-2009, 03:02 PM

Rumors are everywhere that Kimbo gets knocked out by Wes Sims in his first fight. You heard it here first.

MC · 09-22-2009, 09:51 PM

Rampage quits UFC and MMA

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 ******** & 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 *** 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 ***! & anybody that don't like what I just said can come try to kick my ***!

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!

Not a big Rampage fan but I'm with him on this since I hate Dana. This isn't the first time a fighter left the UFC from a dispute with Dana and I assure you Dana is going to somehow get the fans to turn on Rampage. Most MMA fans are UFC fanboys and they'll just gobble up whatever Dana says.

MC, someone posted the same thing on Sherdog as well. I highly doubt Rampage is gonna quit MMA. Sports stars turned movie stars don't suceed.

yeah i mean i dont think he is done forever... but i dont think youll see him for a year maybe. its also positioning for when he does return.

suck we wont see the TUF 10 coaches fight in december

CBRich · 09-23-2009, 02:53 PM

There's always two sides to a story but the bottom line is that if Rampage is not contractually obligated to fight again then he doesn't have to. He should make the choices that are best for him and his family.

molamann · 09-23-2009, 10:31 PM

Sigh, CroCop also calls it quits.

Yeah he may have looked like crap the last couple of years but he was one of my favorite fighter back in his Pride days.

MC · 09-23-2009, 11:04 PM

So who you got? If nelson can get him on the ground, I think kimbo will be done. But if kimbo can keep it standing, he's gonna knock roy's block off.

MC · 09-23-2009, 11:20 PM

i got kimbo... unless you already found out who won or something???

kimbo would have beat down either one of the guys tonight. that fight was pitiful

lol, no.
I give kimbo the odds, unless nelson manages to pin him, which will be tough (but certainly possible).

frost · 09-23-2009, 11:24 PM

PS, that fight was indeed pretty sad. Like watching obese dudes in a jazzercise class.

CrownR426 · 09-23-2009, 11:26 PM

They are replaying the episode again lol!
I wasn't even paying attention to the actual fight cause it got boring...
Cannot wait for next week.
Hopefully Kimbo doesn't let Rampage down.

MC · 09-28-2009, 06:13 PM

i doubt they would show the KO shot on the previews?

what do you think?
