Quinton Jackson shared how Dana White helped him in his career

While speaking to Rogan on the JRE podcast, ‘Rampage’ said, “I don’t know if you know about this but Dana White bought an organization just to get me cuz I left pride and I went to WFA. And my manager at time he became like the president of WFA so he had to stop being my manager and I fought and then the company folded. And Dana brought the whole company so I can come over. “

Jackson played a vital role in helping the sport of MMA grow at a fast pace. His aggressive style of fighting quickly made him a fan favorite. Despite putting in some outstanding performances inside the Octagon ‘Rampage’ always had a troubled relationship with the UFC CEO Dana White. During his time as a fighter in the UFC he raised his voice on multiple topics. One of his biggest concerns was the disparity in pay between the fighters. However, this was not the only problem he had.

While the 46-year-old has retired from the sport he still isn’t over with his grievances with Dana White. In his recent ‘Jaxxon Podcast’ he shared how White once lied to him about PPV numbers.

The UFC has grown to be a multi-billion dollar promotion company since the time of its inception. Some of the best fighters have featured in the promotion and helped the sport grow. During their time Dana White developed a cordial relationship with most barring a few. One such name is Quinton Jackson who always had a tough time dealing with the UFC CEO. During his recent episode of his ‘Jaxxon Podcast’ he shared an interesting story during his fighting days. As the contracts for UFC fighters go, they can earn more money if they can sell more PPVs, which Jackson felt he did in 2010.

However, the UFC head didn’t quite feel the same. During his podcast the 46-year-old shared the incident and said, “One thing I was upset about Dana, is that in my contract, if I sold over a million pay-per-view buys, my PPV numbers jumped up like dramatically, right? And the fight between me and Rashad Evans, I broke that threshold,”. He then added as to how White lied about the numbers but later in the press conference gave out the true picture. The former champion eventually spoke about it to the UFC head honcho and said, “Pay me on what you f**ing promoting out there”. 

Despite having arguments on various topics White did help Jackson in his career. Do you think he did the right thing? Let us know in the comments below.
