Rampage Jackson: "Dana[White] Lied To Me"

Rampage Jackson tells us something that we already know in regards to how he feels about MMA. It's no secret that he hates training, but now it seems that he could be done fighting after this UFC contract is completed. He speaks on that, and accuses Dana White of lying to him about fighting Lyoto Machida. Check it:
"They've said some things and done some things I don't agree with -- that's not the way I do business," Jackson said. "I'm a loyal person so I take care of people who take care of me, but people who don't take care of me, I don't take care of them. So I'm done with the UFC. They can't ask me for anymore favors. Nothing. I just want to finish my contract and get out of there, do my own thing. Dana lied to me. He told me I didn't have to fight Rashad, I could fight Machida. I did the show and then after that he told me I had to fight Rashad."
So does 'do my own thing' mean make more movies, or possibly fight for Strikeforce or possibly go back to Japan and fight, or is this Rampage Jackson talking some absolute non-sense again? I think I remember Dana White talking about Rampage Jackson after UFC 110. It wasn't like he was saying they were buddy buddy again, but he did say that the "A-Team" movie Rampage will be co-starring in is a 'real movie'. Which is a big step above some of the straight to DVD jawns he has done in the past. Then again, this could be some 'old stuff' that's just now coming out. What say you?

We know Quinton
It’s always someone elses fault.
Does this guy ever make sense? I hope he goes to the new Pro Elite or better yet never fights again. I would love to never have to read his name again.

i hope he fights beyond his contract
i’ll watch him wherever he fights… awlays have good time for Rampage, even if he needs to thread lightly occasionally
"I had to fight all my life to survive. They were all against me... but I beat the bastards and left them in the ditch." ~ Ty Cobb
You're the one thats lying, Rampage.
Didn’t he turn down the Machida fight before doing TUF?
Jackson said he was given a choice of who he wanted to fight and picked Evans over the title shot:
"I had my mind set to fight Evans," said Jackson. "I was actually there coaching (at UFC 98) trying to get him to win the fight. I want Evans he got in my face (at UFC 96), right after my fight. That was the wrong time to get in my face."
I can’t stand Rampage as a person. He got paid for being the WORST coach in TUF history and still feels he was wronged. I’ve never disliked anyone more in MMA.

What a joke he’s becoming. Everything I can remember was Page talking with HIS OWN MOUTH about who he wanted to fight. Way to back pedal.

Rampage is a joke
He talks about doing right and yada yada yada! Why did he run out of the country to “so call train with Bisbing?” Seriously, what does he improve on by doing that? nothing. The coward leaves to get away from what he did. They can pay off all the people they want to say that he was not responsible for the death of the unborn child when he slammed into the car of an absolute innocent young woman during his pathetic and selfish act of reckless driving when he lost his title. He is a pathetic human being. As funny as they come and I am sure that comes from hiding all the demons. He seems to think he is untouchable. One day he will answer for all of his skeletons. I just can’t imagine him not taking responsibility for his actions. Rampage fans, bash away as I know you have millions of reasons to say it’s not his fault. It’s society, his childhood, his tooth ache, his broken finger nail. whatever, he screwed up and the ufc (which hell yes i watch, so i am being a hypocrite) paid to cover his ass.
