Rampage Jackson humorously explains why Dana White and Rashad Evans never got along
In a recent podcast segment, Rashad Evans and Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson discussed their troubled history with the UFC. Jackson believes Dana White never got along with Evans for a particular reason.
While he was most popular for being one of the most terrifying fighters in the world in his heyday, 'Rampage's' quick-witted and at times controversial sense of humor is also the stuff of legends.
So it comes as a little surprise that Jackson had a bit of fun at his fellow fighter's expense when they sat down for a recent episode of the JAXXON podcast. The 45-year-old made a hilarious quip at 'Suga' claiming that the UFC CEO never got along with him owing to his less-than-remarkable looks:
"I think Dana just didn't like you because you are ugly."
Evans was taken by surprise by his fellow fighter's comment and burst out laughing. However, amid all of it, he managed to clap back at 'Rampage' saying:
"If he didn't like me because I'm ugly, he must have hated your a**. I look way better."

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson recalled how Dana White got him out of jail
Despite having had a less-than-easy relationship with Dana White during the course of his career, Quinton Jackson respects the UFC CEO. During an appearance on The HJR Experiment, the former MMA fighter stated that White looks out for people who are in his good books.
'Rampage' recalled how the 54-year-old once helped him out when he was embroiled in some legal complications:
"When I went to jail that one time, Dana White came there and he was there for me, you know what I'm saying? He helped me out. He knew I wasn't drunk, I wasn't on drugs and stuff like that. So when he figured that out, he came, he helped me out."
