Rampage done with the UFC

MMAWEEKLY.com reports Quintin "Rampage" Jackson, the former UFC light-heavyweight champion, has announced his retirement. This may come as a great surprise to many of us. In my opinion, this is a really stupid move. Rampage is a top contender at 205. He was given a second run at being

 coach on the extremely popular Ultimate Fighter television show and he had an upcoming fight with Rashad Evans that I assume would have paid him well. Rampage has a very likable personality and has won over many fans since coming to the UFC. At this point, trying to become a movie star is, in my opinion, a risky venture. I would be way more inclined to go see his movies if he was either still fighting or officially retired after a great career. By skipping out early, I am only left with a bad taste in my mouth.

Rampage said he was dissappointed about not getting an immediate title shot against the current title holder Lyoto Machida. I think he should be grateful he didn't get one. In my opinion, fighting Machida now would've resulted in a loss. Let him fight Shogun in the next PPV event, get more information about him, then fight Rashad. Then after those events have transpired look for the title shot. Rampage seems like the type to jump the gun. He also seems like the type to bite his nose off to spite his face. We can smell our own.

I do think that he got a great part in playing Mr T's old part in the A team. He will bring life to the character for sure. Unfortunately, he would bring in much more of an audience if he remained a part of the UFC. At this point, if he really stays retired I believe his movie career will fail. On another note, the Ultimate Fighter show is very lucky they have Kimbo Slice on there because knowing that Rampage will not fight Rashad takes away almost all the appeal of the show. Aside from Kimbo, there is nothing compelling about the show. Please change your mind Rampage!!
