Not sure what his play was here. He's insanely high if he thinks he'll make more money elsewhere fighting.

Maybe fighting easier guys?

The thing about assholes who think that the world owes them something and that they are always the victim is that it is a life long delusion. I know plenty of people like this, an while sometimes it opens doors for them, it is also their downfall. People may sometimes fall for their bitchy sob story and help them out, but if nobody does then they sure as fuck aren't gonna help themselves out. They will blame the people who helped them before for not doing it again, bad luck, people being out to get them (haters *gag*), but never themselves. It eventually leads to their downfall. It is their douchey gift, and their whiney curse.

I have dealt with one of these people recently. My fiancée's friend needed a place to live because she was "pregnant" (not really apparently), so against my better judgment we vouched for her to the other tenant (my best friend) of the apartment building (only 3 apartments) and the landlord. As soon as this girl moved in she was trouble for me, always making noise (when questioned about it blamed her guests as if they aren't her responsibility) which was affecting my friends sleep, complaining if my fiancée couldn't constantly hangout with her (more of a personal annoyance), and when she wasn't home her dog wouldn't stop yapping. We were patient for as long as possible, but eventually I got my fiancée to say something to her (since they are friends I considered this to be the nicest way to handle it). When that did not work the first time, my fiancée tried about 15 more times, but still nothing helped. One night she was being particularly loud at like 2am so I got my fiancée to call her, and when she called just to tell her to keep it down, her "friend" flipped out, so I threated to call the cops. Long story slightly shorter, she pulled the victim card telling anyone that would listen about how she got screwed, until she took it to far in a conversation with a mutual friend and made a threat which was directed towards us. Me, being the crazy paranoid bastard I am, had already built a solid case for a restraining order before the threat. So with that she knew she was screwed, and moved out to avoid the restraining order (she knew I was to lazy to follow through if I didn't have to). A few months have past and I still hear occasionally from mutual friends (who know better) about how she thinks she got screwed.

I realize that my example was a long one, but I think it was fitting. An asshole (her/page) got helped out significantly by somebody who didn't have to help (us/ufc), and when the asshole (her/page) screwed themselves over they blamed the person who helped them out the most (us/ufc). The only real difference is that she never downed a bunch of monster and caused a miscarriage.

Would Rampage still be a multi-millionaire without the sport of mma or would the sport of mma still be a multi-million dollar industry without Rampage?

Lets see, who owes who?

Its usually at this stage in an athletes career you hear them talk about giving back to the sport that has given so much to them. Not Rampage I guess.

I usually hate when either side says they are owed. The fighter provides a service and the ufc compensates him for it, and they mutually agree on a salary. In my opinion nobody has room to complain normally, but this time is different. The UFC saved Rampage's ass. He owes them.

Would Rampage have been a multi-millionaire if he wasn't successful in the sport to begin with? He was whoopin ass before the UFC knew he was. He built his name off of his fighting style, his knocks outs, his slams etc etc.

Lets call a square a square both the UFC and Rampage made money off of eachother just like when you clock in for work everyday. The company you work for is pimpin that ass making money off of your hard earned labor and as a result you get a biweekly check.

Neither Rampage nor the UFC owe eachother shit. He applied for the position, got the job, worked his hours and both parties got paid and its just that simple.

I think Rampage is going to have a run quite similar to Overeem's post PRIDE/pre UFC run, a slew of cans that offer very little challenge and who will give him the opportunity to have some knockout highlights and make him some bank with solid paychecks and Japanese endorsement deals....

I see Rampage knocking the shit out of Mizuno, Izumi, Minowa, Alexander, Nakamura, O'Brien and the like and just cruises by on his current stagnant skillset.

Also, wouldn't be shocked to see somebody throw a bunch of money at a Kimbo/Rampage match either in MMA or boxing.

Kimbo fighting his TUF Coach? That fight would probably be painful to watch given both of them have bad knees and poor movement.
