Dana White calls Quinton "Rampage" Jackson his "enemy"

Come on guys, you need to hug it out...

Come on guys, you need to hug it out...

WKR has been waiting for Dana White to lob a verbal hand grenade at Quinton "Rampage" Jackson due to his choice to take a role in the upcoming A-Team movie over fighting Rashad Evans at UFC 107 and our faith has been rewarded.

Dana White essentially declared war against the wayward Rampage when White talked to Dave Meltzer,

"Something's about to happen there," White said. "You know me, we were good friends. When I'm your friend, I'm your best friend on the world. But we're not friends anymore, and when I'm your enemy, I'm a bad enemy to have."

Dana White is a promoter and a lot of his public statements are designed to gather public support to gain the upper hand in negotiations (just look at the Dan Henderson situation). Some fans rally around these comments as they are sick of seeing star athletes, in any sport, being babied by management. But WKR isn't so sure that White's tone is the best in the long run.

The verbal back and forth between Dana and Rampage is akin to a pissing contest between two drunk alpha males. These situations usually call for an adult to diffuse the situation and act reasonably. Hopefully this happens soon as WKR really wants to see the Rampage-Rashad fight, someday.

There is a real easy way for this to come to an end:

Rampage can man-up and fulfill his contractual obligations.
