I never cry, but me and Bisping, we're like brothers. Especially back then, we're not as close now because some bullshit happened between our managers. But me, [Cheick] Kongo and Bisping, we were like brothers. I never cried when I got knocked out, but when Bisping got knocked out one time, I thought it was... I cried in the locker room. He got knocked out that bad, I felt really bad.

The feud between Jackson and White arose from Jackson’s proposal to pit two of the UFC’s top stars against each other in a fight. This notion did not sit well with Dana White. Jackson stated his displeasure with certain sportsmen, especially Askren, and called for their exclusion from the MMA scene. He believed they were not bringing in the eyes to watch them and were not good for the company.

This event demonstrates the difficulties that fighters confront. They have to seek a balance of their enthusiasm for the sport with their expectations about promotion dynamics. Jackson’s criticism of the UFC’s treatment of some athletes and his desire for a more exciting spectacle damaged his relationship with Dana White.
