Quotes from Jackson and Dana White at the UFC 87 Press Conference:
Dana White:
“Rampage lost the fight to Forrest Griffin. He hung out in Vegas for a week. He was hanging out by the pool and he was fasting. He wasn’t drinking; he wasn’t eating. He was drinking energy drinks,”
“You saw what happened on TV, the problems that he had,” he continued. “They took him in for psychiatric evaluation for over 72 hours. What they came back with was that there was nothing wrong with him mentally; it was physically.
“He was exhausted. He had severe dehydration. And that caused something called delirium."
“Apparently they tell us he’s over it now,” White stated of Jackson’s delirium episode. “He is healthy mentally and physically. He will be back in the UFC soon.”
Rampage:
“I’m already training, so my next opponent better watch out."
“But that was the worst mistake I ever made, I got Dana over my back all the time. ‘Did you eat? Did you sleep? Drink your water?’ It’s like I’m two years old, but it’s all good,” he continued. “I love Dana man. He’s the first one to really take care of me and show me love.”
Dana White:
“Yah, he’s got some legal issues, definitely, the first thing we were worried about was that Rampage was okay physically, mentally....he’s okay. Obviously, with what happened, he’s got some legal issues he’s got to deal with now. Definitely.”
