Dana White provided additional comments on the Quinton “Rampage” Jackson arrest and hospitalization this morning on the Opie & Anthony Show on XM Radio.
Among the odder moments of the nearly 12-minute appearance was White, the UFC president, noting Jackson was “born again” in 2003.
Jackson’s actions (partying in Las Vegas included) over the past few days don’t seem fit in with the Christian tradition and certainly don’t provide any answers for his recent behavior.
However, his bizarre diet during that time might provide some clues.
“He went on some crazy fasting thing,” White said. “He didn’t drink anything but water and energy drinks for four or five days. He didn’t sleep a lot.”
It’s obviously not a clinical diagnosis. But it’s the closest thing to an explanation that’s been offered by anybody close with the former UFC champion to date.
We can only assume that White mentioned religion as a way of saying that Jackson’s a good person — an opinion that is shared by most people in MMA.
White said Jackson is still in a hospital undergoing a psychological examination.
“He’s alright,” White said. “When the thing happened it made no sense to me at all.”
Then: “I don’t know what he’s going through right now. He’s a friend of mine. He’s a good guy.”
Jackson, a father of four, becoming a born-again Christian has been noted in numerous publications over the past year. His trainer, Juanito Ibarra, is also a born-again Christian

^ I guess Dana White didn't say if he's going to take any action to either suspend or release Rampage from his contract?? Something has to be done. I mean, you can't do what Rampage did and expect to get off scot-free.
If it were anyone else in that situation, I'm sure Dana White would've done something by now. But, just because it's Rampage that makes it ok then....
Just because who he is, shouldn't make the penalty any less harsh..Come on here...

It's like in wrestling, no matter how many times you've been suspended, arrested, abuse drugs, if you can still draw, anyone will hire you. Yeah but how many wrestlers have done something as serious as this? The guy was driving on the ing sidewalk--- he could have killed countless people.. |
