Even when Quinton “Rampage” Jackson wants out of a life where he’s frequently in the news, he can’t seem to escape the news.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion made waves in March when he openly called out the UFC and said he was looking forward to leaving the promotion he has called home since 2007. Earlier this month, he signed to fight Glover Teixeira at UFC 153 in what most believe will be his last fight with the promotion.
But UFC president Dana White said Jackson wanted his departure to come even sooner – before White stepped in.
