“White Chocolate Management, a Hollywood, Florida based management and Promotion Company and its President Reed Wallace have filed a $10,000,000 lawsuit in the State Supreme Court of New York, against Rampage Jackson, Juanito Ibarra and Ibarra’s Mixed Martial Arts Company for breach of contract, interference with contract and defamation arising out of a breach of a contract and false statements by Ibarra that ‘WCM had nothing to do with Rampage’ although it was Ibarra and his attorneys that prepared the final contract between Rampage and White Chocolate.”

WTF? I was hoping this was a joke.. It really looks like it's turning out to be a bad Christmas for a bit of these fighters.

Well this is shitty, I hope that Zuffa takes care of one of its biggest fighters and gets Rampage the best attorneys possible.

The next time I'm in Manhattan for work, I will stop by the County Clerk and copy the lawsuit and post it up here for us to look at.

10million, seems like a crazy amount. I dont see them getting that even if those alligations are true. Also if Zuffa step in and use there musle in this one WCM dont stand a chance, hopefuly ufc will take this as an attact on the company and gets right behind rampage....

Now that these fighters are making big bucks you will see all these shitty lil companys come outa the woodwork looking for a piece if the pie

That is bullshit, man. I, like many others, hope that the ufc will stick with rampage and help him out. Screw WCM

Meh, anybody can file a lawsuit, so its not big deal right now. I'm not a lawyer, but dont this type of lawsuits almost never get to court? I think that they are almost always settled outside of court for much less than the intial figure.
