WTF RAMPAGE JACKSON LEFT UFCSay it ain’ t so, Rampage! According to his personal website, rampage-jackson.com, Quinton Jackson retired yesterday from fighting for good.He cites the lack of respect he receives from Dana White as well as his personal agenda of being a successful actor as his reasons for the decision. While most of us knew of the small rift in the relationship between Jackson and White over the last few weeks, this was truly a bombshell to all of us. It started weeks ago when Jackson accepted the role of B.A. Baracus for The A-Team movie that caused him to cancel his pending fight against Rashad Evans. This movie has been works since the mid-1990′ s. Joe Carnahan is on-tap to direct with Ridley Scott producing. The cast is stacked and consists of Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, and Jessica Biel. 20th Century Fox is going to distribute the film. In a nutshell, this is no small, independent film that is a guaranteed flop. The role of B.A. Baracus is what catapulted Mr. T into the big name that he is today. This appears to be a strong, formidable film and an excellent opportunity for Jackson to cement himself as an actor. This is a chance of a lifetime. |
