Is Rampage Jackson on the PPV this weekend, April 25th?

[RedRackham]

I see some ads and what not saying Rampage is and other posts and pages saying he is not.

If Rampage is not one the card, what the hell happened?

The card was looking so-so with Rampage coming back, now if it wasn't for Bisping being on the card (yes Im one of his 5 or so fans on this site), I wouldn't mind if I missed this card at all.

And save the Joe Rogan spiel on Mighty Mouse being one of the top p4p guys around. I know he is, but its just like Ronda Rousey's fights, we all know he'll smoke who ever the other poor sap is.

No.

The UFC signed him to a contract, but that was in breach of his existing Bellator contract. Bellator sued and the judge ordered a stay on Rampage fighting in the UFC.

Basically, the UFC is using Rampage as a pawn against Bellator.

Well that sucks. Holy shit man, I may skip a ufc event! ha. I know, I know, "ufc is dying" bla bla bla. Just weird is all, I don't miss ufc shows but will skip this show if no one I know is interested or there is something else on the go. I make a fairly decent living but Im not spending 55 or what ever the hell my dish company charges me now by myself.

Also, your sig confuses me. I will have to tell the rest of Conor's Flock about this.

Yeah. Rampage had a bunch of reasons to be angry about Bellator, mostly that Bjorn Rebney had promised him a whole bunch of things that never came to pass, so Rampage wanted out of his contract and the UFC wanted to take away a Bellator fighter that could make a lot of money for Bellator. They signed him and they had to know what they were doing wasn't gonna fly and that Bellator would sue. Meanwhile, Rampage can't fight anyone for either promotion, so the UFC essentially took away their top star for only the cost of the legal fees for the lawyers to pull this sham. Pretty dirty, honestly, but Bjorn pretty much straight-up lied to Rampage, so I can understand why he's upset.

It's OK dude, no one will be mad at you if you don't watch, you don't need to explain.

It's a shit event, move on.

Rampage should just stop whining and fight. He jumped ship but he is still not happy so now he wants to jump back. He must be an awful employee to deal with. Fucking over both his Companies like he did. First go to UFCs competition. Then fuck Bellator by trying to back and letting the UFC use him as a legal pawn. Rampage should have known that no one wants to see a movie starring Rampage in a movie about Rampage. I hope this legal shit ties him up for at least a year.

Looked very meh in Bellator anyway and he wasn't gonna beat Newton, King Mo, or IMHO McGeary. He clearly lost to Mo and Rebney was all like "yah Rampage is god!" Lolz. Hell Beltran (who is always fun to watch) gave him a helluva run. So it's whatever.

Well, Bellator promised him a LOT of things that never happened, so they broke their contract to him as well. But in general I agree that Rampage whines too much and fights too infrequently.

Legally binding contracts TKO'd Zuffa lawyers in the 1st.

That just isn't true.

The fight right now is still ongoing. It is Rampage vs Bellator.

Zuffa wanted Rampage to fight for them, while he is already in a fight with Bellator.

The judges said they would not allow Rampage to fight for Zuffa until his fight with Bellator is finished.

The issue of whether or not the contracts are "legally binding" Rampage to Bellator still isn't resolved. A random judge prevented the fight from happening, not the contracts themselves and not Bellator. If the fight was set to take place in Nevada and the court case took place in Nevada, the fight would still be happening.

Yeah, if you start a new job and your employer doesn't pay you the amount you both agreed to you should just stop whining and keep working for them, right?
