The information caused even more astonishment. Asked about the reasons that made him think about fighting for another organization, Rampage he said he doesn’t need “them (the UFC) or anyone else treating his career in a negative way.”
"@VWAssassin: @Rampage4real your leaving the UFC?” Y should I stay? I don't need them or anyone else negative dealing with my carrie

The reaction may be caused by a period of contract renegotiation with the UFC. Rampage left this hypothesis in the air when reinforcing to a fan that he is not thinking about leaving MMA, just the UFC. Afterwards, the former light heavyweight champion said that “a lot of things have been happening” and that he was just “trying to stay positive”.

Two years ago, Rampage took a break from his professional wrestling career to emphasize another profession. After appearing in some film productions, Jackson had a prominent role in the film “A Squadron”, in 2010, playing the role of Bosco “BA” Baracus. Since then, the idol has made several statements about changing his profession as a fighter for that of an actor. He is in the cast of “Fire with Fire” (where he stars alongside Bruce Willis and rapper 50 Cent) and “Duel of Legends” (in post-production).
