12:47 PM ET 01.25 | While normally very hesitant to reveal fighter purses and salaries, UFC President Dana White broke from tradition to talk about the specifics of Rampage Jackson's fighter pay. Jackson, who has been upset with UFC management and plans to leave the organization after Saturday, also argued he was underpaid relative to other professional athletes. "If you're going to go out and you want to say all this stuff about the UFC, we know what we are, we know what we do, we know what you've been paid," White said. "OK, you made $15.2 (million) but you wanted $100 (million). It's always going to be the case." White didn't close the door on doing business with Rampage, but added his temperament and attitude are killing his career. "To come up here and treat the media the way he did, it's professional suicide," White said. "Rampage has the ability to be a huge star. We've seen it. When he's on and his head is right and in the game, there's no one more entertaining. There's no better press conference to be at."
