Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was never one to hold his tongue. In an exclusive interview with Fighters Only Magazine, Rampage touched on some problems he had with the Japanese based Pride FC.
Rampage says that the organization would often give him fights on short notice, cheat him out of money and fix fights. This isn’t the first time that we have heard negative comments regarding Pride, but cheating allegations should never be taken lightly.
Here are Rampage’s comments from his interview with Fighters Only:
“The UFC treats me better than Pride. I don’t know what their [PRIDE] problem was but they wouldn’t promote me at all, they cheated me out of money from dolls and t-shirts, not paying me…
when my contract was up and we were negotiating and I wanted more money and they were telling me ‘oh, but you’re a nobody.’ This was after I had fought in the Grand Prix and beat Igor Vovchanchyn. Even after I went to that K-1 fight and represented them in K-1, they were mad I won that K-1 fight! Just stuff like that…
Igor Vovchanchyn, I got two weeks notice [for the fight]. Ninja, two weeks notice. It was bad. The tournaments were fixed. They said they drew numbers from a hat. It was all set up for Wanderlei to win. It was really bad. Even in some fights they would stand you up when you were winning, different stuff like that.”

Rampage crying about it again. When he was in Pride he used to talk shit about UFC like how bad ass Pride was and all.. He recently had problem with Dana White and he was talking shit about UFC and all. Rampage is a mental case. Rampage was getting butt raped in Pride.
