Media Rampage Being Rampage

He does this because it makes him money. He doesn't LOVE being famous or being in the public eye all the time, having no privacy and all the things that come with it and has said this COUNTLESS times on podcasts In a very real way.

He's specifically said that's one of the reasons he loved fighting In pride. He could make money then come back home and nobody knew who he was.

Half of the people you see In front of cameras know that in order to make money, they have to sell themselves, their personality and brand, but on the other end, also wish they could just disappear and go off grid.

It's a love and hate relationship, and if you've been paying attention to the entertainment industry for any reasonable length of time, It's not uncommon.

You have a delusional, romanticized idea about being famous, but don't understand the pressure, stress and everyhing else that comes with it.

Fans who just expect these public figures to always be this bundle of happiness and joy at all times, don't live In reality. Plain and simple.

I don't judge any figure on isolated moments, because I know how complex and difficult that life can be. When someone spends half their lives In front of cameras, It's very easy to just isolate a moment and use it to define who that person is, but that's not how things work. It only highlights how shallow and small minded the observer doing this is.

Hahahahahaha you must be some Rampage dick rider, you take everything he says at face value, you remind me of a 13 year old Taylor Swift fan lamenting how difficult it is for her to deal with the press lmao

Rampage is a multimillionaire, he could go "off grid" tomorrow, so could the vast majority of other celebrities, these people got into things that put them in the spotlight because they enjoy it

Yeah it's a love hate relationship... like I said, he likes it when he likes it and doesn't when he doesn't... in other words he feels he deserves all of the rewards, but doesn't like dealing with the aspects he doesn't like and since he has the emotional maturity of a 15 year old, that's how he acts

I have a delusional romanticized idea of being famous? Where did you even get that? You sound like such a moron you'd probably respond with that to literally any criticism of him

Humans expect other humans to be generally pleasant, which somehow most celebrities are able to do... you're basically saying it's justified for Rampage to act like an asshole to people

Sure if it was ONE isolated moment I wouldn't judge him, there are dozens of "isolated moments"

Now I'm a "shallow and small observer" hahahahha you sound so dumb dude, you have childish idol worship and you're lashing out that people are rightfully criticizing your idol

I don't think Rampage is the worst person ever, I like him most of the time, but again, he has the emotional maturity of a 15 year old... I don't need to go over the Raja thing, but he was partially culpable for that, but of course he instantly threw his son under the bus, cut off contact, took 0 accountability, and portrayed himself as a victim though

He also has a bunch of kids in chaotic family structures while he flies around the world trying to fuck 20 year old 6's.... again, he has the emotional maturity of a 15 year old, he lives his life as a 15 year old in his position would live it
 
He seems genuine afterwards.. I think he was just a bit drunk and didnt formulate the question perfectly for Rampage liking lol. That might not be possible though.

not just fighters, but athletes from all back grounds.

Imagine me asking a cornerback/Safety, "hey, how was it like trying to cover Jerry Rice in teh 90s?"

and then have the Safety/corner back respond to me in a similar fashion as Rampage did?


people excusing/justifying this response are hopeless.
 
I enjoy little bitches being scared shitless in the real world, at the same time laughing at how stupid Quinton is. It's a win-win.
 
is everyone here 100% soy now?

rampage has every right to ask a question to that guy. all he did was ask a question. so did rampage.

rampage didn't strike the guy, he just asked a question.

i see nothing wrong at all. in fact i celebrate it.
 
I stopped being a fan of Rampage after his proverbial road rampage after the lost to Forrest Griffin. Guy’s an asshole.

I can't make out all the words in the question - how did he ask it?

The guy is big and younger. It was a provocation. Rampage had knee surgery and a bad knee from that fight. Also stitches. Imo that's a provocation to bring that fight up. Not that Rampage couldn't choose to react better. They both not optimal here.

It's amazing people think this was a provocation or a troll effort.

It was a perfectly legitimate question.

Haha seriously it’s a question that’s always been asked to boxers , mma fighters, shit even football players I just say someone ask p manning what it was like playing against Ed reed …. Is it because he lost ? Now you can’t ask fighters about fights they were in that they didnt win because that’s like offensive / means your stepping to the guy or something?. Totally ridiculous. I used to love rampage back in the day, I’m not gonna say the guys an asshole but he was clearly being an asshole here for no reason

Imagine this,

approaching Justin Gaetje, "hey Justin, how was it to fight Khabib?"

justin: what? you a b*tch! you a b*tch!


so ridiculous. those siding with Rampage on this obviously have serious communication skills.

Completely agree… I think in that scenario gaethje would keep it real and say something like I got dominated .. which is why people like when someone is just being honest/ humble

Yeah Rampage thought the guy was provocing him. I wouldn't get mad at all if that was me. So most people think Rampage needs to chill out and stop being agressive. Ok. Perhaps someone will email him that. Also that house party, the Deen guy got hit twice. Something something. Not my fault dude. I don't condone violence.
