Rampage: ‘I’m not happy with the UFC’
Well, really, to be honest like it’s on my management, my manager wanted me to work things out and stuff…
Well, really, to be honest like it’s on my management, my manager wanted me to work things out and stuff like that, it’s still hard dealing with the UFC except now you know what I’m saying, you know those guys you know what I’m saying, if I had my way I still would be retired you know what I’m saying. I want to promote my own, I want to be like De La Hoya, you know what I’m saying? I don’t need the UFC, I don’t need the UFC banner. I don’t need the way they don’t want you to make you money to (stop business with) your partners or steal your sponsors, they do all this, you know what I’m saying? Man, let us make money, they just sold 10% of the company for $100 million? Like, I’m going to tell you how I am this and this is real and God knows if I’m lying. If I had a big company and I sold my big company for, a piece of my company, 10% of my company for $100 million, I would give some of the fighters that helped me make [unintelligible] contract, I would hook them up, I would hook them up big time. I would choose like you know what I’m saying the top fighters you know what I’m saying each weight class, hook them up, you know what I’m saying, go do something for them you know what I’m saying, I would like I would do something for them, give them a nice expensive car, a nice watch, any thing tax-write off [unintelligible], you know what I’m saying, I would hook them up, you know what I’m saying, just how I am because the UFC ain’t did it with just their name. Like I said before, you put two UFC symbols in that cage, see how many PPVs they get. Let the two UFC symbols fight each other. See, what people don’t know, what people don’t understand is not all about your name or UFC, it’s about the characters, it’s about the people inside that Octagon, you know what I’m saying, the whole package deal, they don’t realize that. Yeah, you know what I’m saying, they can keep making new fighters and stuff like that, some people can’t be emulated you know what I’m saying?
I don’t care if the UFC don’t like I say or not, you know what I’m saying. For years, you know what I’m saying, I fought in the UFC and I didn’t agree with a lot of stuff but I kept my mouth shut, I didn’t say nothing, you know what I’m saying, things that didn’t go right, I kept my mouth shut, I didn’t say anything. You know what I’m saying, but it’s hard to keep your mouth shut when people just keep stepping on you ,you know what I’m saying? People can only take so much, you know what I’m saying. I still say that the UFC has a lot of good qualities and stuff like that. Yeah, I re-signed a contract with them, you know what I’m saying, it’s no secret, I got six more fights with the UFC and stuff like that but like right away they messed things up, right away, already I’m not happy with them again, right away.
