00:00I want to get into Sean Strickland's complaints a little bit as Sean Strickland's threatening to
00:06quit the UFC and or mail in the rest of his fights etc which probably wasn't a good idea
00:12to go on record and say that I'll just go in there and do dumb moves just to get it
00:17over with
00:17but we've seen this script so many times before and I almost you know I ignored this video at
00:25first and I ignored his complaints and all this because I've seen this a million times I've been
00:29covering the UFC for basically you know nearly 25 years uh now and most of the time it's always
00:36the bigger fighters and start complaining about money but they never actually do anything about
00:42it right like they'll complain about it and they'll threaten things yet then they'll sort of get taken
00:49care of and then it's not a problem anymore I remember like GSP was big on that GSP was like
00:55oh we need a union we need you know this like I'm big enough now that I you know I'm
01:00gonna try to
01:01like change the way that this industry is built and whatever dude like an hour in a room with the
01:07Fertittas and Dana White at the time and he came out with what he wanted and everything was fine again
01:12right and the thing with Strickland is like dude you're the one that just signed a six-fight contract
01:18that's the only thing that the UFC I've always thought the UFC sort of unfairly gets criticized
01:24for their pay because the fighters are the ones that are accepting it so you guys I fought for the
01:29title four times I won it twice beat all the boogeymen in the division hell I fought half the division
01:33already man I want to box I want to go put a boxing title on my mantle I deserve it
01:38no I don't even I don't
01:39even do what may I just box I will put hands on any boxer Jake Paul wants to give me
01:44a big old bag of
01:45money to fight him I'm under contract fine I'll go to Zufa I'll go I'll go beat your cruiserweight
01:49champ easy but let me tell you something about the UFC and I'm gonna say the quiet part out loud
01:54that nobody says you'll go you'll go you watch his champions right these like savages of the sport
02:00man they run the division and they take an L and then they come back and they just like man
02:05they just
02:06fight like three or four times they get f***ing flatlined you're like dude what happened to you
02:10and you realize the UFC happened to them they just don't care anymore the UFC they don't pay you
02:16enough money to walk away like man life is f***ing good I've dedicated my life to this I put the
02:21time
02:22in this the UFC builds a legacy they keep you right here but they build a legacy and they don't
02:28pay you
02:28enough so you have to come back and ruin your legacy I just don't want to do that man it's
02:32like this
02:33goyslop repackaged McDonald's straight to the head you know just I'm not into anymore I want to fight
02:39I want to box I want to go win a boxing title so we're trying to work that out but
02:43if the UFC says
02:44hey we're not going to do that you're going to make you fight well I'm going to stick and move
02:48you guys are going to boo hell I'll f***ing boo with you while I'm doing it just stick and move
02:53collect my check and then move on but uh I mean hell here we are see I don't think anything
03:00he said
03:01was wrong right but at the same point in time you're the one to sign the contract right you brought
03:07this upon yourself and the comical thing is too and like I said I've seen this happen a million
03:12times before so like Sean Strickland is upset with the UFC I'm not getting paid enough and it ruins
03:19people's lives and all this type of stuff and that what does he do he goes to the next UFC
03:24event
03:25and gives them all kinds of free publicity on top of it so like if you're really done with the
03:30UFC you
03:31probably wouldn't have went to Edmonton Alberta a couple of days after you were complaining about the UFC
03:35right um so you have to sort of take it um like you have to sort of like say well
03:43you know what
03:43you're the one who just signed a contract um you're the one who just signed a contract and you should
03:48have thought about that before you signed a six fight deal but they basically make you sign those
03:53deals if you're going to fight for for a title because they don't want people winning the title
03:57and then just throwing the title in the garbage and walking away uh after the fact
04:01you
04:01you
