Quinton "Rampage" Jackson recently fought Ryan Bader in Japan. When Rampage came in at 211 for a 206 pound cutoff, a disappointed Dana White reacted bluntly. “You better get motivated," warned White. "Because guess what – Ryan Bader’s motivated to kick your ass.”
Bader did just that, outstriking Rampage by 109 to 30 according to FightMetric. White commented further.
“I’m disappointed," White said. "I think Rampage is so talented. I just question whether he wants to do this anymore and have been since probably the A-Team movie.”
Rampage took the remarks personally, and set out on a exteded rebuttal on twitter, citing injury, and expressing the desire to fight for another organization.

Quinton Jackson @Rampage4real
The @ufc knew I was hurt, n almost everyfight I was hurt n, but instead of saying thanks 4 not pulling out, they talk s--- about a poor job....
Quinton Jackson @Rampage4real
I never missed weight, but when I do, nobody stop 4 a second 2 ask if I was hurt, yall just quick 2 talk shit, so I'm done with them after
Quinton Jackson @Rampage4real
I'm not complaining about money, cause I'm about 2 make a lot less money now, but at least the people I fight 4 will appreciate what I do4mma
@guitardedfalcon
