Rampage vs. Rashad - we may never know ...

According to reliable MMA Web site bloodyelbow, this is straight from Rampage's Web site (I put some paragraphs in here to make it easier to read, ya'll).

"The UFC has done a lot for me but I think I have done more for them ... 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 bullshit & 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 ass 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 ass! & anybody that don't like what I just said can come try to kick my ass!

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!"

If you couldn't tell already, I'm psyched for this season of The Ultimate Fighter, probably like no other, because we get to see all heavyweights, we get to see Rampage and Rashad yap back and forth at each other (see DW's quote above), see how the NFL players do, and then, see how long (or how short) Kimbo's stint on the show will be. It all starts tomorrow night (Wednesday) with Ultimate Fight Night at 8 p.m., and the first episode of The Ultimate Fighter at 10 p.m.

MMAMadness.com has learned that Matt Hamill (6-2) and Jon Jones (8-0) have verbally agreed to fight at the The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale on Dec. 5 as the co-main event.

Hamill was supposed to fight Brandon Vera at UFC 102, but suffered a knee injury that forced him to pull out of the bout.

Jones recently signed a new deal with the UFC, and has yet to suffer defeat.

Both camps have verbally agreed and are awaiting the bout agreement.

Right now, the two LHWs are coaches on the set of The Ultimate Fighter 10 (which is actually for heavyweights, but whatever) and ever since their in-Octagon confrontation a while back, can't stand each other.
