    In the UFC 114 post-fight presser Quinton Jackson revealed that Fox, the distributor behind The A-Team, didn't know that Jackson was going to be fighting and actually threatened to sue him if he lost. Presumably this has something to do with the promotion for the film which is just getting started. Pretty crazy.

    That is pretty crazy.

    Sucks though, would've been huge for them if he had won.

    Fox has a bad reputation.

    Also, Rampage said he "almost regrets" doing the movie and isn't looking forward to the tour he's about to embark on.

    Yeah, Rampage said he's pretty much done with Hollywood and is going to dedicate himself to being a full time fighter. Good for him if true.

    I'd rather make movies and work for Hollywood than fight in the UFC any day, to be honest.

    You make more money and don't get hurt.

    Yeah, but Rampage isn't a natural actor. There are very few roles for him out there.

    In 'Page's case he can probably make a lot more doing MMA at the moment than movies.
