“It simply type of annoys me too that just like the route the UFC goes, they simply outsource. And like even that is transferring ahead, like I imply they simply outsource UFC to those poor international locations and these guys go combat for 10 and 10 on the Contenders they usually return and reside in Rio they usually simply made 20 or 30 grand residing like f**king kings,” continued Strickland.
“It is such as you’re actually limiting the U.S. market since you’re not paying these guys any cash. So you have bought little f**king little Joachim Jackson who has a selection, go play f**king soccer, or go be a UFC champion. That man’s going to go play soccer. Like 10 (thousand) and 10 canine. Like, what are you going to do, go pay hire for like three months? Then you have to pay your coaches, your administration.
