Ever since Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson retired from Mixed Martial Arts competition recently, he and Dana White have argued very publicly throughout the MMA blogosphere. With Jackson just announcing his imminent return to the Octagon, things haven't looked like settling down between the two anytime soon. After Dana's comments over the past weekend about the pair engaging in a heated text war and angry phone call, Rampage has hit back.

Speaking last night, on the set of the new A-Team movie:


If Dana's got a problem with me, about any texts I give my friends or anything else, if he's got a problem with me tell him, I'll do a boxing fight with him, but I'd show up. I'd show up with bells on. I'd show up dressed looking just like a boxer. He could even wear a head gear for all I care. That's real, let Dana know what I said."


Maybe the two should settle their 'beef' in the Octagon. Rampage's idea not mine:


"Dana has a history of talking shit about people on the internet and at press conferences and stuff when they're not there, I'm not that guy. I've shied away from conversations and stuff like that in the past cos I don't trust myself, I don't trust my temper and stuff like that, now I don't give a fuck no more.

Tell Dana if he's still got a problem with me, we can settle the problem like men and he can make as much money out of it as he wants. He can promote it, he can put it on TV and he can pay himself a big purse."




Apparently there's more to come from this interview in the coming days.

UFC heavyweight number one contender, Shane Carwin revealed that he has been told that the winner of the Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell fight at UFC 104 will fight for the title next.

When asked about the possibility of facing either Randy Couture or Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira somewhere down the line should he capture the title against Brock Lesnar, Carwin revealed:

“I was told that the winner of the Brock fight will likely face the winner of the Cain and Rothwell fight at UFC 104.”

As fans will remember who have followed the situation over the past couple of weeks, Carwin was originally set to face Velasquez on the UFC 104 card in October. When Lesnar decided he wanted to fight again this year, Carwin was moved to UFC 106 to oppose the champion and Affliction import, Rothwell, was brought in to fill the void.
