Midnight Mania! Gegard Mousasi: ‘Greedy’ UFC thieving from fighters with uniform offer

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Nevertheless his time inside the Octagon was relatively small, Gegard Mousasi is a person of the most accomplished fighters of all time. The former Strikeforce, Desire, and Cage Warriors champ at present holds the Bellator Middleweight title, and he’s in pursuit of his 50th earn as a qualified. He’s only shed a solitary time in the previous six decades, profitable 11 bouts in that span.

Mousasi left UFC for Bellator in 2017, for the duration of the midst of his present-day effective run and driving a significant earn streak above gentlemen like Chris Weidman and Thiago Santos. He was a best-ranked contender and closing in on his initial title shot, but “The Dreamcatcher” made a decision on a diverse route.

The promotion and Mousasi had been at odds over many challenges, but perhaps the premier was the uniform situation. At the time, Mousasi was blasting Reebok, and while the official outfits partner is now Venum, he continues to be unimpressed. In his viewpoint, the uniform policies are another way for the advertising to sap revenue from its athletes.

“You took these away, you place Reebok. All the cash went to UFC. Having to pay a fighter that can make $200K a struggle, then it goes to $10K (because of) Reebok. That is stealing from the fighter,” he instructed Robin Black (by using BloodyElbow). “They could’ve said, ‘OK, f—k that.’ And then they killed the whole sponsorships, every thing.”

Mousasi believes that the Reebok offer aided the UFC sell for $4 billion in 2016, a further figure that the athletes in no way say any component of. All in all, Mousasi thinks that the promotion’s typical actions was greedy.

“They could’ve sent each and every fighter $10K checks as an personnel (as a) thank you for exactly where we are now (just after the sale). $10K is almost nothing,” he said. “They took the sponsorship, they put Reebok. I was producing $6K with Reebok. (What) they had been providing the fighters, it wasn’t normally the best. They could’ve performed a greater task. You never have to be that greedy.”

Sleeplessness

There is very virtually no way that this fight is uninteresting. I have by no means been a lot more confident that a combat will supply!
