Koscheck: I get to take off my handcuffs
Josh Koscheck: “Finally, I get to take off my handcuffs and I don’t have to be tied to the UFC rules, restrictions and underground rules.”
After spending his entire career in UFC, Josh Koscheck recently announced signing with Bellator MMA, a decision he feels is the best for him right now:
Finally, I get to take off my handcuffs and I don’t have to be tied to the UFC rules, restrictions and underground rules, Koscheck told MMAjunkie. Like, ‘Oh, we’ll take care of you if you do what we say.’ Yeah, I went along with the game just like all these fighters are now. I got some good bonuses, absolutely, but some fights I thought I deserved a bigger bonus, or a better bonus for stepping up on short notice. Sometimes those bonuses were sh-t. I can finally just say what I want and not have any repercussions because they don’t own me anymore.
It’s kind of nice to have that feeling and that weight lifted off my shoulders.
