Rashad Not Happy With Rampage’s Retirement
Rashad Evans
Rashad feels that Rampage may not be thinking rationally right now, and said that he will be disappointed if he doesn’t get to settle their score in the octagon. He recently spoke to Cage Writer about the situation.
“I’d be disappointed not to fight him. It would be a good fight, a fun fight, but mostly because he talked trash. He got me really angry, and I want to fight him just because of that alone. It’s a fight that people want to see. You get your mind wrapped up, and you get your mind so psyched up about fighting a fighter, and then it doesn’t happen, it’s disappointing.
That’s why I hate making a fight personal. At the end of the day, we’re professional athletes, and we get paid to do a job. But when you get to fight someone you really want to fight, that’s like a bonus. You’d almost do it for free. “
When asked about his confrontations with Rampage on The Ultimate Fighter Show and if they ever really got into fights with each other, Rashad said,
“We came close a couple times. Not even just on the set, but outside the set, just out in Vegas. I saw him in the club one time, and I walked by his table. He jumped down, and was running his mouth, and he got a shove in on me. Then I got kicked out. But then they let me back in, but I was mad about that.
I think now, he’s trying to make it a thing every time he sees me, to jump down and try to get in a shove. I try to stay professional. I don’t want to fight for free, but if I have to … “
Well we’ll have to wait and see if the fight eventually takes place, and I still feel that it will once Rampage makes the same revelation that Roger Huerta made. The majority of athletes stink at acting, and regardless there’s not much work in Hollywood.
