Quinton “Rampage” Jackson’s recent comments regarding his potential exit from the UFC have not bothered UFC President Dana White one bit.

Jackson’s remarks on Twitter saw the former UFC light heavyweight champion threatening to walk away from the organization after voicing his frustration with the company.

However, after speaking to Jackson, White told MMAFighting.com that he isn’t concerned about his possible departure and claims Jackson is just an emotional person.

“I talked to Rampage yesterday for about an hour-and-a-half before all the tweets started and, you know, Rampage just lost and I think Rampage takes his losses hard,” White said. 

Jackson recently came off a disappointing loss to Ryan Bader at UFC 144, when the former PRIDE star fought in Japan for the first time in six years.

Following the loss, Jackson had admitted to using Testosterone Replacement Therapy to treat a previous knee injury, which he said hindered his overall performance and refuted any rumours of retirement.

White said he isn’t buying Jackson’s threats and fully expects him to continue fighting for the UFC.

“I’m always on-again, off-again with him as it is anyway. But listen, I have no beef with Rampage. I don’t dislike Rampage or anything like that,” he said. “I just think he takes the losses really hard and he takes criticism really hard too.”
