[@5487SHANE]

I love how the relationship of these two has changed... Love them!

[@diamantetatum319]

And that's why Rampage is one of my favorite fighters. He keeps it real.

[@chrisbary]

When Rampage came to the UFC and beat 'the Beastman' Eastman, the Iceman Liddell, and Dan Henderson...WOW! he was unquestionably in his prime. I saw him in vegas against Forrest and it looked like he had a leg brace but regardless he came back and KO'd Wanderlei! He's a legend and should retire IMO.

[@wadmanlikesbeer1]

I will miss this dude, he is right they are a dying breed!

[@DarkholmeRR]

I love the relationship between these two! Im really gonna miss Rampage

[@21LAZgoo]

wym by miss lol he here

[@Harrache9]

Stop hating on rampage man he does the shit that he does for the fans entertainment not alot of fighters have that nowadays man ...

[@FourthOsprey]

Rampage is the man. I wish him well in the future. It seems like him and Areil Helwani have really made a friendship over the years. You could tell Rampage really didn't like him at first.

[@TVReyEntertainment]

I was waiting for this interview forever. :D

[@monodeoro]

Rampage the man!!!

[@b19a24]

i like there relationship when they talk back and fourth

[@Imhim247]

i will miss u rampage in ufc.

[@LIGHTSOUT956]

Think most I seen him motivated since he fought chuck for the belt... Rampage will always be the man in my eyes remember first time I saw mma was rampage in pride... Goin miss rampage... One most humble guy and fucken hilarious. Ur the greatet rampage!!!! Lets get that last W!!!!

[@iposteverythung3720]

So funny how Masvidal and others are protesting against fighter pay whle Rampage and others have been doing it way back then and it still hasn't changed. Sad.

[@SLAVESweARE]

"Millionaires are part of the 99%" I think this remark is slightly exaggerated, but you just blew my fucking mind! Touché my good man!

[@blahhayden]

I love how Ariel trips up after he says "now you can be a free man..." 04:37

[@spideysnakeeyesoptimusfan]

Their chemistry in this interview is so good. Ariel is a great straight man. Did not know how awkward and hilarious Rampage is.

[@DocYAYAYA]

I grew up watching Rampage and Chuck so I hope Rampage goes out with a massive statement.

[@dsands09]

love rampage! always been a big fan, i respect his decision. he is a brawler who loves put on a fun show, and the ufc gives him fighters who wont make it exciting a lot.

[@sethalos]

Love Rampage.

[@MrLargeForce]

i like fighters who fight with emotion and show real aggression, rampage is one of those guys who gets mad at his opponent to build himself up

[@66Beelzebub666]

I agree with Rampage! He should be compensated. He is truly a star. Fights great every time. It´s a shame that he´s leaving the UFC. I wish they took care of him. Great fighter.

[@Cmoney6488]

people need to hear what rampage is saying about the negativity that the fans say and what he feels..rampage is an awesome guy i dnt c how ppl like him when he is winning but when things go bad they start talking crap

[@austizz1e]

True. I hope that this is just another argument between rampage and ufc and hopefully ufc offers him a better deal. I'm pretty sure they'll talk about negociations at least once after rampage fights this saturday. Remember Rampage said that he was done with fighting a few years ago and nothing happened out of that.

[@SuperKoreanzombie]

i now know why so many fighters hate Helwani, he doesn't kiss their asses and actually asks them challenging questions

[@bramirez1993]

Rampage looks like he is shape for this fight hopefully we get one of those old school rampage slams

[@godzarchangelmichael]

I agree with you 100%

[@anundeadKYLE11]

these interviews are the best

[@Darklarik3]

Rampage talked about why he dont like the UFC currently. He a fighter, he like to go and fight. Currently, the UFC dismissing a lot of fighters that lose just a couple fights in a row. So they come with Crazy game plans to secure victory, example being Chael Sonnen. Guy comes to just hold you down for 3 rounds. Thats it. Thats boring. You can do that for like 20 rounds. Either way, if he unhappy he shouldent stay. There are other places where he can thrive

[@rappsix]

There nothing worse than being around negativity. I wish Rampage the best.

[@fivestarz3s]

If he have a gun, im about to run. Gotta love Rampage the heart of a child 4 ever..... I see him in a whole new easy going way, it's amazing.

[@crouchingmole]

I still LOVE Rampage - was a fan from the Pride days - still a fan! Rampage you da man!

[@tafftastic]

Of all the MMA fighter out there, Rampage is the the one I'd like to hang out with most. Top guy, he'll be missed.

[@Number1WithTheGun]

chilly whats good dude, keep keeping it real!

[@adamaxis]

he looks in shape!!

[@DigBick69]

Yes dude you understand what i'm talking about. I wasn't feeling bad for him moneywise, I'm talking about his legacy, Rampage is one of my favorite fighters and after watching that fight I think he should probably retire. Glover laughed at his strikes and took him down with ease.

[@SuperJeff222]

Its true what rampage said about the ufc about the sponsors.. Fans should stay fans thinking they know everything.

[@Vohlumes]

How can people not like Rampage? He's such a good dude.

[@XxPropheticxX]

You have to make the Memphis trip!!! I'm a big fan of Rampage and I would love to see where he grew up and all. Besides, he's funny as hell :)

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

No that is not the only reason why he left. There is not even a solitary reason why Rampage left. There were multiple reasons, one of them being the mistreatment of him and other fighters. Rampage knew that there were no fighters union & that the entry level fighters would not speak up. So he used his departure to speak on both his and the other fighters situation. He shed light on a subject that has been floating on the surface of many peoples minds. Its only now that we have confirmation.

[@SLAVESweARE]

When Rampage signed an exclusive deal with MMA Elite, the UFC was more than happy to have Rampage promote them at UFC 135... Rampage was not complaining then, was he?

[@AfricanPhoenixMula]

much respect to rampage

[@LenSengoku]

ariel... :S i hope rampage has a good last fight in the ufc. glover and his style match up well. should be good

[@rudiratte1]

man im gonna miss those ariel- rampage interviews. they are just the best

[@jazza1017]

I would have liked to see that fight as well!

[@nufcahmed]

Haha I love the chemistry between Rampage and Ariel, both guys cool as fuck

[@metcalfestarfish]

"I got your back until they got a gun.." I don't think I would like to take on Rampage even if I had a gun.

[@thembluetube]

Love the rampage/ariel interviews, the guys literally seem like old friends now haha.

[@Oblivion109]

Yeah I agree with you I thought machida beat him too, now at this point I don't even think bellator will sign him, and I hope they don't.

[@fredsanford7762]

I'm younger then u Arial and I still followed Rampage since his King of the cage long socks days. Break Glovers jaw page.

[@DJBelal1]

Man i love Rampage!

[@deusrex6230]

Best interview ever, along with Ariel and Overeem

[@cristowwal39]

I'm going to miss these interviews with Rampage

[@SLAVESweARE]

I absolutely see your point.... In other words, there is a larger gap between Millionare to Billionaire than their is between us and Millionaires...and simple math will prove this point immediately... I also remember my Economics Professor citing a study showing millionaires in the business world work about 30 hours a week more than the middle class with fewer vacation days as well...

[@lastrosenfeld]

wow Rampage has ariel back I thought rampage would just leave him lol

[@RompYa]

As a big Shogun fan, I think that fight could go either way. Judging from Shogun's post title matches, his cardio is a real let down and he seems to have no drive anymore.

[@tman229]

You wasn't watching the video. Rampage problem wasn't about the money but for the respect or in other words the way he is being treated. You don't know what is going around closed curtains so how can you argue with him otherwise? The only point in which Rampage brought money was with the other fighters in which they do get basically no money for the things they go through which is absolutely true for over 90% of UFC's fighters.

[@redsandmmaify]

True about the sponsors.

[@mikestevenson1705]

go Jackson!!!

[@RandolphDgr8]

lol these guys have the best interviews/relationship...

[@Trevlee74]

Jackson's say he is disrespected because he gets matched up with guys who can beat him. He wants to fight guys that let him hit them. Dude has made millions during his time in the UFC, so its not about the money. He needs to rationalize his loses somehow.

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

Actually he mentioned that other athletes are not paid enough and that some are struggling to survive and eat many times before this interview. There are multiple interviews in which he talks about other atlhletes and the UFC mistreating them and the unfair and bias treatment from Dana and the UFC exec's... So its' not only suddenly now he remembered to mention the other Athletes...

[@hitmanash1985]

Im actually going to miss rampage in the ufc :(

[@junfatzoid]

You know what would be a sick fight! If rampage goes to the wsof. Him vs Tyrone sponge. It would be an insane stand up war.

[@Oblivion109]

I see what's your're saying and part of me agrrees, but the way I saw it before his last fight, is that he was fighting to stay relevant in the sport, obviously not in the UFC anymore but if he wanted to continue his career anywhere else, a big win would've been the way for him to go out, but now that he's lost 3 in a row, I really don't see bellator having that much interest in him anymore as he looks to just be declinning with every fight.

[@UrKingNgodup]

And? Randy Cotoure, Tito Ortiz, Dan Henderson, and Rampage are just a few fighters to name who have had issues with the UFC. Shows how UFC treats even their top fighters.

[@denisemitchell8477]

agree Frank Mir Big Coubtry also

[@Adam2JZ]

Respect to 'Page for leaving. Will always be a fan! A true warrior

[@joefarries]

I love Rampage. At least he tells the truth. Also He's not an UNCLE TOM. That's two things nobody can deny. Unlike Jon Jones and HAshad Evans

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

Both are similar strategies. They both mimic the same business strategy that Vince McMahon used in wrestling. They at 1st "..put together an incredible strategy towards an investment that payed off.." but as they started to increase their market share the edged out other fight leagues & took them over (WEC, Strikeforce etc). No one has asked what boxers make in the under cards b/c no one making money has spoken out sheding light to the situation. Also, who said anything about them being greedy?

[@alexagravante2891]

Strikeforce needed Barnett for the Tournament. I stuck with Rampage through the whole UFC career, even had him against Jon Jones. I think he knows he at the end and the UFC won't pay him what he wants. Hope he does well else where.

[@lightningsmokerXx]

I like Rampage more now since the Ariel Japan thing. I feel Ariel Helwani has made people see Rampage in a different way that you otherwise wouldn't have seen it. I like the whole friend sorta thing they got going on. "...THEY GOTTA GUN, I'M 'BOUT TO RUN"

[@Pop1nsk1]

Just one of many "legends" I grew up watching that has never evolved. I will miss him though, for sure.

[@Doorkicker505]

I like Rampage. It seems like all the good fighters are retiring or leaving the UFC.

[@tman229]

If you cannot acknowledge the extreme difference between what we are referring to and your example given then you really shouldn't be calling others fools before checking your own self.

[@JesusIsAlive1991]

Rampage is a cool dude.

[@DocYAYAYA]

Barnett was on a 250k a fight contract with Strikeforce. Rampage is much bigger than Barnett of course he will get big offers outside the UFC.

[@JEFFCLEVANDR]

No the UFC, Zuffa etc do not make it policy to mistreat fighters. But the misconception that they have their fighters 1st in their minds is bogus. As you said it they're 1st thinking about revenue; & when you have a monopoly & are only out for revenue, that is a recipe that breeds mistreatment & mishandling of their products i.e. their fighters. They know the fighters have few options outside the UFC & they take advantage of that. This is what Rampage was speaking of in his many interviews.

[@Red_AIert]

Rampage is right. Reebok is bigger than the UFC & shouldn't dictate how fighters get paid on the side.

[@SLAVESweARE]

Lets take the UFC Sponsorship Restrictions Rampage spoke about... Ok, so Rampage was told by UFC brass that he could not wear Reebok apparel into the Octagon... Now, the UFC does allow many fighters to wear their sponsors attire...but you are asked to pay $100k upfront fee to the UFC... And Reebok did NOT go through the same sponsorship fee required by all the other sponsors who wish to have their brand represented inside the UFC! Simple enough!

[@OTKP]

Congrats to Rampage on the Reebok deal, funny how he lands a big time endorsement when he is getting ready to leave the UFC lol Ariel with the Jeremy Scott's On...NICE! I don't know about wearing them with a Suit but Ariel got his own Style and it works for him I guess

[@05dabest]

haha i like how the first minute of the interview is entirely on shows hah

[@ThaDonJsuan]

rampage is awesome

[@AMetalWorks]

If the guy isn't happy and he clearly isn't let him do what makes him happy. Who gives a fuck if he's bitching and crying for nothing. He's not happy. Rampage, take care of what you need to and just worry about you. Wrong or right don't matter. Go find that happiness. Maybe Ariel should give him a job co-hosting the MMA Hour?

[@JerseyJersey100]

Rampage leaving UFC is BAD an BAD. Its bad for him for a laundry list of reasons-and he'll no doubt regret it. And its bad for UFC because hes a beast, has a very likable personality, and transcends the sport like only a very small handfull of fighters. Danas an intelligent businessman-he'll bring him back if he keeps himself together-assuming he looks good vs Glover T.

[@alexagravante2891]

Wish Rampage would lighten up. If it's about money, I guarantee Bellator or these smaller shows will offer less.

[@jdatwrk]

3:12 More Eyeballs Means = More/Better Sponsors. If you can't foresee that, then you need a better manager.

[@bigjeard]

That's true, but it wins fights. He's not a bad fighter by any means...To think that your basically saying GSP sucks as well, he does the same thing in many fights and hasn't finished one for years. That's fine if you think it's boring, I enjoy watching a wrestler dominate a fight with takedowns and constant control.

[@maxheadroom9105]

Aerials always so uptight when he talked the rampage. Obviously out of fear of Saying the wrong thing as usual.

[@JakkkeyBrahhh]

He fights for the Money he doesn't really care for the exposure the UFC gives him he actually hates it so he is just gonna go fight somewhere else that can pay the same sort of money and Rampage even said he is getting offered more. And also he will have alot less Exposure so i'm sad that he's leaving but it's is his life who are we to tell him what he can and can't do.

[@tjbeson]

I agree

[@nzp0werh0use]

Don't feel bad for him. Rampage is a legend. He has accomplished everything he set out to and went out swinging just the way he wanted.

[@DuncanTheHighlander]

Ariel looked soo afriad and felt so arkward at the end there

[@MMAth2]

cant wait for Rampage to be in Bellator

[@optimisticcosmic]

Rampage seems difficult to deal with but at least he's original.

[@jblitz55]

Rampage is my Favorite. I want so bad for hm to just stone cold k.o Glover and work something out with the ufc. Seeing Rampage somewhere besides ufc would be odd. Besides, I'm still waiting for my Rampage-Shogun fight !!!

[@Inediblehulk]

I have no idea what he's truly worth to the UFC. Too many variables (real and speculative) to consider. If we're going strictly by the "Damn, I would pay to watch that fight!" factor, he's certainly worth much less since the Machida fight than he was when he came over. But he's got the right to overinflate his value to sell himself, if he wants. Can't milk the system if you don't try.

[@MrBobNojob]

they get a lot, and can the sky is the limit from what they can bring in from sponsors. That is on them and their management.

[@aMoneyYell]

Amen RAMPAGE IS RIGHT theses fighters are NOT getting paid enough for all the work they put into the sport...sadly all the negative and feeble minded fans won't understand him and will torch him for telling the TRUTH. You can even be honest without being judged..Isn't that funny?

[@alexthejam]

UFC should start paying the fighters more!

[@tman229]

Yes, people generally don't get paid enough as they should. However, this isn't about anything outside the UFC and if you paid attention you would know it wasn't about Rampage. Rampage spoke about other fighters that don't get paid enough for what they do which is true. Rampage said that, for him, it's not about the money but the respect. But to counter your statement, normal companies don't have their employees beat the tar out of each other in front of millions of dumb and negative fans.

[@trapperjohn8481]

Rampage and Ariel remind me of Ali and Howard Cosell
