I am just trying to do my job and fight here. I am paid to fight. I am not yet paid to promote. I have become lost in the game of promotion and forgot about the art of fighting.

There comes a time when you need to stop handing out flyers and get back to the damn shop. 50 World Tours, 200 press conferences, 1 million interviews and 2 million photo shoots. At the end of it all, I am left looking down the barrel of the lens staring at the face, thinking of nothing but my incorrect fight to the preparation and the many distractions that led to this. Nothing else was going through my mind.

It is at this time that I must go back to live the life that got me this life. Sitting in a car on the way to some dumping Connecticut or somewhere to speak to Timor Susie about how nobody gives a f**k morning show did not get me this life. Talking to some lady, I deep down doesn't give a f**k about what I am doing but just wants some sound buys so she can maybe get her tight little ass a nice raise. And I am cool with that too.

I have been giving you more raises but I need to focus on me now. I am coming up for revenge here. I flew an entire team out to Portugal and Iceland to make my adjustments in preparation and fix my errors. I made it with the weight and the cardio prep.

With the right adjustments and the right focus, I will finish what I started in the last fight. I will not do this if I am back on the road handing out flyers again. I will always play the game and I play it better than anyone. But just for this one where I am coming off a loss, I ask for some leeway where I can just train and focus.

I did not shut down all media requests. I simply wanted a slight adjustment but it was denied. There had been $10 million allocated for the promotion of this fight. That's what they told me.

So as a gesture of goodwill, I went to not only save that $10 million in promotion money, I went to triple-d it for them. And all with one tweet. Keep that $10 million to promote the other bums that need it. My shows are good.

I must isolate myself now. I am facing a taller, longer and heavier man. I need to prepare correctly this time. I cannot dance for you this time.

It is time for the other monkeys to dance. I have danced all the way here. Next little mush head looks good up on that stage of these days, stuffing in front of the camera for a bit. He came in with no shit to do on that last one.

I have already done press conferences, interviews and shot ads before RDA. Pull down. Maybe I will hit Cabo this time and score some shots pre-flight with no obligation. But I am doing what I need for me now.

It is time to be selfish with my training again. It is the only way. I feel the $400 million I have generated for the company in my last three events all inside eight months is enough to get me this slight leeway. I am still ready to go for UFC 200.

I will offer, like I already did, to fly out to New York for the big press conference that was scheduled. And then I will go back to training with no distractions. If it is not enough, or they feel I have not deserved to sit this promotion run out this one time, well then, I don't know what to say. For the record also.

For USA, DA and for the UFC and my contract stipulations, I am not retired. Hello everyone and welcome. Once again to RTM Reacts. We are reacting this time.

So we have probably a lot of people already have, but what I am doing is connigate. We are usually a wrestling podcast, but this time we thought we would weigh in on the whole UFC. We can train in this for a while. We have.

We have. We have. We have. We have.

We have. We have. We have. We have.

We have. We have. We have. We have.

We have. We have. We have. We have.

There. It Tweli Shocking. Not Shocking. It is a thinker.

Was Shocking. It evolved into something quite different. No, no. We have been threatening to do any kind of UFC show.

We make no secret. The USA fans mentioned it a few times. Particularly the person who is the subject of this down again. soft US gain rockym.

And I was with a twitter news. Yes, et's real mosaic. That's real muzzy. So it's mo at z, a y.

Felix Swanson is what entertaining to say the least. Hopefully he'll be put back on the 200 card. Okay. So as you've heard already, Connor's been saying all sorts of stuff recently.

Yes. He tweeted saying thanks for the cheese. Interesting sweet. Great way to invest in Thomas Risaya.

No, but that I mean if we were to just address that in itself, we were told by Lockatock. Lockatock broke the news. The news to us. I started popping on my phone and Lockatock, who's a wrestling podcast that we follow.

I said, oh, by the way, sorry to hear about Conor McGregor and I was like, good lord, with the 2016 without so far. I thought he died. So I was like, right, what happened to Conor McGregor? So he didn't say very long.

He was trending on Twitter and posted some cryptic tweets. Well, maybe not so cryptic to say that he'd retired. And the coach got involved. Yes.

It was good while he lost it. Nadeas kind of tweeted saying, well, I might as well retire then. Yeah, it was, it was really bizarre. It was so bizarre.

Obviously a bit more news came out and then a white was quoted or saying, well, he's not doing the media. He's basically saying around his shoulders, he's not going to do the media for this fight. So the fights off. And if he's retired, then he's retired and paraphrasing.

But yeah, that was pretty much the gist. And that was how much we knew about it. And he was an Iceland trainer. So he was doing some serious training regime for the fight.

So it was a bit bizarre that he was retiring. However, you know, it seemed to have come from, you know, the fact that he'd, you know, been, you know, been ringside when he'd seen his friend, you know, not, well, not, not, not to have a person who ended up passing away a few hours after the fight. So because it was fresh off the back of that, I think we were thinking, you know, this is, this is probably, this is probably why maybe it's legit. Maybe it's retired.

Yeah. Yeah. Because that whole thing about him seeing, I can't remember whether or not he was his, his training partner or it's, it was his training partner who ended up killing somebody. Well, that being ringside for it must have been.

Yeah. Well, when it's what you do for a living and it's one of your own that you see, I can't even imagine what that's like, you know, you're saying that well, that could be me at any time, any place, any time that could happen to me. And it could happen to me on television as well. I mean, I think that probably makes it worse of the fact that even though, you know, particularly, you know, for Connor himself, he knows that if that happened to him, people would replay in that last fight forever.

And the UFC had come under all sorts of scrutiny, which is what they don't need. Now, that aside, UFC is a lot safer than boxing. Yes. Yeah.

And that's an absolute fact. Anybody wants to dispute it can just go and look at the figures from how many boxing relating deficit are, the fact that all the big time box is back in the day and now fucking crippled walking around, look around the guitar doing, doing expendables, in his retirement, forest griffins, absolutely fine. You know, all these big time guys who have been knocked out, chocolatiles been knocked out more times than I think anybody has been knocked out. And that's only by just getting touched in the end.

There's probably still, it's quite, I don't, this parrot at all, like I think you're right. You know, there's no obvious, there's no evidence really. It's still a fairly young sport though. So these guys are yet to reach elderly age, and it's reach old age and American footballers.

Yeah. It's so transpired from, you know, that they suffered from horrendous brain injuries, they were fine, up until a point in their life and then they just went and it turned out that their brain was fucked. So, I mean, I agree with you on that respect, but I think that we're yet to see if there's any sort of long term damage. I think it's more obvious with boxing and I think it's quite clear.

But there are boxes who have been fine and fine and they get to all day, you know, like Jesus, like, wow, they seem slightly off. So you just, you don't agree with that. Yeah, I do agree with that. But I would still lean on the side of no because boxing is a lot more dangerous.

Yeah, I think there's a bigger distribution of hits in USC. It's all over. How many times, like any UFC plans that I listen to this, we might not get many, but it doesn't matter. As soon as soon as soon as somebody gets knocked out cold, most of the time, unless it's horrendous, they're pissing, getting on top of Henderson and, you know, all the big time when they're like, they're breathing and screaming, but they're trying to scream, but they can't because they're starched.

They're all within 10 seconds going, what's going on? That's what happens with boxes. They're all within 10 seconds and then they're getting fucking punched in the face again. That's why they, when they're getting to the other life, that's why they have problems.

I don't think it's all about that problem. Well, I hope not and I do hope you're right. And I'm always quite nervous with anything that's new, getting into my laser eye surgery. You know, it's that sort of thing where I hope it continues like that because I really like UFC and I used to like boxing very much.

I liked boxing when I was in my early till I sort of like right through to my late teens. I wasn't really a UFC fan on you off it. It was quite new. But I love boxing.

I used to watch boxing pay per views. I was a massive fan and I started to go off it. Well, one, if I'm being selfish, I found it quite boring after I've seen UFC. It was hugely boring.

That's what's on the way from it as well. Yeah, boring. Once you've seen UFC, there's no going back. You're like MMA fighting kind of thing, but yeah, I mean, it's dangerous.

It's really dangerous and seeing, you know, boxes who have got brain injuries, who are like later in, you know, later on in their life, it's hard to watch these guys have got families in there, you know, they look frail and elderly when they're not that old and it's just quite sad. But anyway, besides the point, but I mean, I understand there's we've, I suppose with boxing, it's been around for so long that boxes kind of know they've seen, you know, predecessors get her and be her and they do it anyway. And then you got Floyd Money Mayweather, who his style is our point people. Yeah.

Yeah, he has not told people it's like, but it is to not get her, they're getting that not together, which is my way. Yeah, no, absolutely. And I think that there's, there's you, the risks are all there. You've seen real life examples of people, whereas UFC, when something like that happens and there's this death, it's so rare and it's so new and it's so fresh.

I mean, it wasn't, it was a UFC match. No, no. It was, it was a local MMA fight in, that's what my MMA. Yeah.

So local, a local, a, no, it wasn't boxing. It was MMA and the guy got starched and then died in the hospital later. Yeah. So we didn't die in the cage as far as I know, like, yeah, because that is quite kind of rare for that sport.

I can imagine that the reaction is quite extreme, especially for a UFC fighter, for MMA fighter, of any, any kind of division, any company would go, shit, that doesn't happen very often. Fuck, it's actually quite dangerous. Yeah. Because it's new.

So I can, I could kind of imagine that someone would retire from that, especially if they were watching. Because the, I've really not appeared like he, he had emergency brain surgery afterwards, which didn't, didn't save him. And the thing is that the big thing, as far as USC goes at the moment is them getting to America, into New York. So they've got the license now to stage vice in New York.

But there, the people were arguing against it, their arguments were very archaic. It's always like, gladiators, there's no rules and, you know, it's promoting street fighting and all this rubbish. It's also rubbish. But then when somebody dies, it adds fuel to their fire.

It's like the video game argument. Whenever a video game comes into court and there's been a mushroom in, and he said that, you know, in cases, big time cases, they've been like, well, three years ago, he was watching the Matrix and he was playing Grand Theft Auto three years ago. You know, that's how much they look for it. And he's like, anybody who's got an argument against it is, you know, gonna put those things to it.

Now, the thing with McGregor, so on the face of it, when he tweeted about the retirement thing, I was kind of like, obviously, gobsmacked, we're gutted, you know, bought that in the back of the head, you're thinking, well, if he has just seen somebody die, you know, exactly, that was, you know, it was understandable. It wasn't a massive shock about what it was, but it was understandable. Yeah. And I was kind of like, well, good for him.

He's probably made enough money. Now, so today he's put us out on Facebook, as you've already heard, that he's not retiring and that he's basically wanting to concentrate on what got him there. So the fighting and stuff like that. So I have a few different theories on this.

It's a play devil's advocate. I can go both ways. I want to go first on how you interpret the Facebook rant. And I'll take the opposite opinion.

I'm both. OK, well, call it the wrestling fan in me. I think it's a work. I think it's a huge work.

I'm not saying that he, I think it's Conor McGregor's idea. I'm not saying it's massively premeditated at all. Like, I really don't think he's planning this a month. I think it might have been an off the cuff thing.

Maybe, I don't know, but then there's part of me that suspects that as well. I think it's all planned out. I think it's all very planned out. And him saying that Dana White's response to it, it was all very fun.

It was all very final. And I think, if I were Dana White, Dana White's very vocal. He's a different sort of, you know, whatever you would call him, CEO. I don't know what on earth his title is, but he's quite different.

He is quite outspoken. And he does say when he's pissed off with things. He does say when he thinks a fight should have gone the other way. And he's not asked about saying that.

He's not fucking run the rubbish, but he's not a bit dumb. He doesn't give a shit. He's not bothered what he says. So, you know, people can argue against me like loads.

I'm sure I am wrong, but he responded very quickly and said, well, he's not promoting it. So it's off. It's off. If he's not going to do the promotion, it's off.

Now, if I were him, and I had Conor McGregor, and he'd made my company not much money, and he'd tweeted about that, and he'd said, if he legit said, well, I'm not going to do the promotion, and he said, that's sweetheart. I'd say nothing. I'd say nothing, because I'd go, Conor, let's talk Conor off the ledge. Listen, we can work around this, Conor.

I wouldn't go straight out within hours. It wasn't that long. He went out within hours and said, well, I don't know. Well, he's off that isn't.

Of course he's not going to do the thing. I think you can argue either way, because you say, well, Dana White's very impulsive, so he does say things as soon as he thinks it. However, I just think, well, there's a big business in UXC behind that who would go, let's talk to him. Don't say anything.

Don't come out. Don't say a word. Don't get any sort of same. Certainly don't fucking cancel the fight.

Don't take him off it. Let's work this out. We can sort it. You could still make that much money for us, but let's say he doesn't intend this week.

Or if he doesn't want to do this, then we'll get him to do this. Or if he, oh, we'll go to him. We'll say fucking time will go to Iceland. We're going to do a little fucking mini documentary for us of his training, and that will just serialize it for a week when we don't do this fight.

There's so many things they could do for someone who makes them that much money. They could have really accommodated him. Not saying he should do that, but they could do that. So I don't know.

I think that it's the ultimate publicity stunt. Yeah. Because he lost his last fight. So how are you going to get people to be even more excited for this fight?

You lost the last one with a mensom's gun. So how are you going to really make people, even more people tune into the next one? He quits. He quits and he gets taken off and then he releases some crazy statement going, well, I just want to train because I want to beat this guy and I'm going to do shitty interviews.

Insults half of them, pretty much a big part of America when he's talking. Insults the press. But it's great and everyone who's an actual fan will read that and go, fucking, come on, Connor. Every fan will read that.

The media won't roll their eyes and go, fucking, I'll well done. They'll probably just clap their hands, riling, go well done. The ultimate stunt and you don't even need us to do it. Well, of course they're going to do that because they're not going to go either way.

Let's say, for example, just carrying on with your point as well, that is truthful. So he's legit means I don't want to do these fucking shitty shows where I'm going in the back end of nowhere to some con, to some fucking bollie bird who doesn't have a fucking clue what I'm about, but just wants to get the thing at the moment. Let's say he does mean that. And he probably does mean that.

But he's smart enough to know that the press will go, oh, well, he's just trying to sell it. So he can then still go back on those shows in the future and they'll be like, oh, smiley smiling to his face. When he knows, oh, I just fucking publicly run you all down and you're going to play it off like I didn't do it. Like I'm doing it to try and promote a fight.

I know, actually. I mean, I do believe what everything he says. He actually thinks it. But I think that it's a very, very, very clever way to sell a fight that we've seen before and you may start lost.

So it's a hard sell that's not a hard sell. I was going to watch it. But I think that not as many people would watch it. If you did the same promotion again or if you know, whatever, I just don't think that you would get the same audience really or the same excitement, the same pandemonium.

This now will. Gantam said, and he doesn't even have to do another interview. He just needs to maybe they will get a camera throughout just doing some filming from the trainer going, I'm not doing any more shit in the news. But that's all they have to do.

And she released 30 seconds. You're in there. That's it. You're done.

It's too good. It's money. This is money. And he knows money really well.

You have seen no money really well. And I just think that it's genius. I work in PR and I just think hats off. It's just the ultimate fucking two fingers up to everyone, all the media.

And you've just you have he's done exactly what he said. He's tripled it with one tweet. And now the space book space is the shares that I'll get. He's done it.

He's for the fans. That's even better. He's bypassing all the corporate shit and all the bullshit he's doing fighting and for fans. He's not mentioned fans.

One's really. But they think it's talking to them. It comes across like he's talking to you because you want to watch him fight. So it's genius.

I think it's deliberate. It's genius. And now you're allowed to talk Andy. I'll let you.

Well, maybe you want to stop listening right here because I don't know how much better mine will be from that. So before we move on, we've got another tweet. So at debris 99 has put it to pissing contest between Connor and Dana. Connor is waiting.

It was one thing, sorry, to focus on the fine for once, which I don't mind. Well, Dana is making an example of Connor by saying you do what we say or you get no pay. And all the fighters will then be Dana's bitch. I really don't get why we need so many press conferences for the fine that will sell itself.

It should be enough. That was a long pause. It was concerned. Sorry.

I thought I had to jump in. Yeah, it should be enough. Now, it's an interesting comment that now me play devil's advocate them. So the backlash that you'll get from a few people from a few fans will be like, well, the reason why he's spot here is because he did all the shows and because he did all the interviews and all these shows and all stuff.

They just basically ragged him. And you hit the nail on the head though, which will change my tact a little bit. So I wouldn't be surprised if so the common then from debris 99 about it being a pissing contest between Connor and Dana. The way that Connor and Dana work together is very secretive.

It's very behind closed doors. There's never really too many shots of them both like coming out the corporate office. It's very business like, and they've, you know, he's got videos up of them in fucking motor cars going up and down. I don't for a second believe that Dana isn't in on as well.

Like, I would have thought Dana is in like, or only Dana. So because Dana, Dana is one of the principal owners of UFC, but he's not the owner. He's not, you know, he'll be on the board, but he's not the guy. He is the corporate face.

He is what, you know, Triple H is WWE. Like he don't own WWE in his entire agency, but Triple H is one of the faces. He's going to say like the face of the company. Triple H is definitely runs out of it.

It's hardly ever doesn't appear in his anymore and all that sort of stuff. Now, Dana is that big, personally. So a lot of people that watch UFC love him. He is the guy.

I mean, I think I love Dana White. I think he's tough. He's definitely, you know, the whole Joe Rogan reaction as well that we've literally just watched where he was, you know, he was shown the tweet and he instantly just called bullshit on it. You know, you don't get much past him.

It seems like, but I feel Dana's in on it as well. That's my thought. I don't think anybody else is though. And because as soon as that was as soon as it became public knowledge that he wouldn't do the media for it, that's when they pulled him.

And that's when they pulled the fight. So UFC Facebook, on their Facebook, Conor McGregor has been pulled from UFC 200. It's on their website. Conor McGregor has been pulled from UFC 200.

As a marketing tool, it's quite interesting now because I bet there's a lot of people after seeing the Facebook comment and saying, putting back on it, putting back on it, and they'll be getting fluts and fluts and people saying, putting back on it, putting back on it, putting back on it. See, the whole thing we like, Conor, for me, he is always really appreciative of what the funds do. So the funds that fly out to Vegas and the band are tickets and they book their flights, months in advance, and all stuff like that. I didn't for a second think that he would not do something for them because they would have bought for so UFC 200 set, the date set, there will be Irish, crazy bastards that will be booking flights for it.

The people that will be booking flights for it all over the world. So he's not not going to do it to me. He's not not going to do it. So like you said, this just creates a fever pitch of, well, what are you going to do now?

What's going on with UFC 200? And the interesting thing for this is that this is completely overshadowing everything that's coming up. So if some people didn't know, because you may not, if you've all you do is sort of watch UFC.com and stuff like that, John Jones is fighting quite soon. I think he's fighting this weekend against over the same crew, phenomenal fight.

That's going to be crazy. Can't wait to see it. Nobody gives a fuck. There's a two busy talking about Conor McGregor retiring.

So when it gets down to a corporate level, and they all get back in the room and then Dana gets in there and goes, well, you know, maybe we should put the fight back on. They're not going to say no. Conor McGregor can fucking do what he wants. If he turned around to them and said, I'm not doing anything but show up for the fire.

I still think it would happen. Like in my heart of hearts, I still think it would happen because he makes them an insane amount of money. You know, your GSPs and your Chuck Liddelles and your Andy Coutts and your T.O.T. He's back in the day, make fucking nothing compared to this.

And he's like, what, few fights? He's not had many. You know, he's already had a champion at one weight class. He wants to go for more.

You know, and like you said, I think, you know, by saying the whole, how do you get people more interested in a remar? Because for me personally, I think the rematch alone was enough to sell it because it's like, oh, Conor's going against him again. And he's like, well, fucking lost last time. What the fuck?

This to me, if you're going to sort of paint out screams as the last gasp. So this is the one where they're all going to make them money. So because of this retirement thing and then putting the thing on Facebook of, I want to train and I want to fight it, like you said, you know, it does to me screams. This is the last gasp.

If he wins or loses this, I think that's when you'll see him go back to being the champion again of his weight division. And he'll just do what he normally does. And he'll just do that for the rest of his career. But this is the one that really pushes it into the mainstream.

So now everybody's talking about UFC. So everybody's talking about it. The thing is, as well, and we've said this before, but not necessarily on a show because we don't do a UFC show yet. This is the tester.

Watch this video twice just so we carry on doing it. It was. Yeah, on the old iTunes because fuck knows where we are on iTunes. But so many people now because of McGregor talking about UFC.

So you know for a fact that people buy pay per views and stuff when he's not even on it now. So all the pay per views will go up, everything like this. And I just go back to John Jones thing. Like John Jones is apparently number one, pound for pound number one firing world.

Hard to disagree. Because he's crazy. No, I never lost his ever ad. He's when he got disqualified for 12 to six elbow in Mark Hamill.

Poor old Deaf Mark Hamill was there for around, I think around in 20 seconds, just getting fucking battered. Like he took him down and was just lighting him up, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow, elbow. And then he started doing the 12 to six elbow, which is illegal. And then he got disqualified.

That's the only loss he's had. Joe means 30 years, pound per pound, the best fighter in the world. Like, love him. I hate him.

I'm a fan of his mind, but not a big span of him. Just a whole fucking on camera. He's like a sweet, the nation's sweetheart and then off camera. He's just a fucking no bed, which he proved, which is why he got suspended for a while.

Nobody's talking about John Jones. No one gives a fuck about John Jones. That's how much Conor McGregor absolutely gravitates past this into a man. And so the point where he announces that he's retiring and all the clickbait fucking wrestling sites and saying, oh, because he's following Triple H, he's going to WWE.

Click, click, click, click on me. Click on me, please, please, please. Fuck off. You're fucking vultures.

Anyway, anyway, yeah, so it's going to be crazy now. So that the fever pitch now is I see I've not really seen anything else about like people saying, either I've not put it back on the car. No, I'm not going to anyone's comments. It's all really.

I've just looked at the news stories from legit news outlets. I've not looked at any clickbait gossip about what's going on. I've just read it as it is statements, official statements from UFC, Conor's tweet, Conor's Facebook stuff. So I've got no idea what the reaction is and what people think.

But he's kind of inverted comments retired. He's obviously going to do UFC 200. Yeah, I do not. And then after that, well, he's retired once.

Better go and see Conor again, because he might be his last fight. Well, does this make him an even bigger star? Of course it does. Of course it does.

Every fight precious because you don't know when's going to be his last. So he'll not, I don't think he'll threaten, if this is work, I don't think he'll threaten retirement again if he doesn't mean it. I think he'll do this once. And then the next time he does it, he will.

I don't think he's the type of person to keep threatening it because people get fed up and people don't believe it. But I think that just that now, if he has no intention of retirement for years, that is enough to make people buy the pay for you and to go and see him because he'll go fuck me, he might retire after this one. He's already threatened it. He's already said he might retire.

He must be doing his last, this must be his last fight because it's fucking crazy. You know what I mean? So you don't know how mad it's crazy. This guy's coming off a lot and he is presumably if he is going to go ahead and do this fight, which I imagine he is still training.

The state is all about training for it. So he's going to do it. They're not going to tell him no. They're not going to tell him a gregorous say, nah, you won't do a few shit radio interviews for us.

So fuck you, we're not going to do the biggest pay for you with the year. You know the biggest pay for you with the year. So this is the interesting thing, like him versus Nadaz for Nobel, it's the biggest pay for you of all time for UFC. So the rematch where he's come out and said this for time and shit, it's going to be insane.

Yeah, it's mad. And now he's talking the best talk he could for the people who are actually buying this shit. He said the best words he could possibly buy for us. Possibly say sorry for it.

But yeah, I mean, we need to wrap up in like a minute. A minute. What? So I've got more to say.

Five minutes then. So to play devil's advocate, let's say nobody knew and he's just done this off his own back because he is pissed off that they want him to do all these world tours and all this shit. Now, I noticed that to play devil's advocate is not necessarily what I think because UFC is a huge company. You know, you can't have, you know, could have you see what you can't have the immense one in it.

But I started noticing a few cracks in the armor of the whole Conor McGregor UFC thing when they started saying it's Conor bigger than UFC, then that side to me, winding down a little bit because whenever Conor did a press conference, he would take over it. And because that's what people want to see. They want to get the sound bites. They want him to say he looks like El Chapo.

You know, that's what they want. That's what people go for. Conor could do a press conference on his own and all the clickbait sites or the major MMA sites would have all the sound bites that they would want from that press conference. You might slip the odd one in there about John Jones now and Cormier when Cormier comes back, but maybe not.

It's how crazy of a thing is it if they don't know? And he is just showing them. He's like literally showing me. He's like, here you go.

You don't say no to me. Like, is how mental would that be? Like, if that's the case and I don't for a second believe it because they're too big and he's too business oriented. But how insane is that if he literally went to him and said, I don't want to do as much promotion.

They told him, no, you are doing the promotion. And then he said he's retiring just to fucking show them just to show them. It's like showing a kid like a plate of ice cream, like a bowl of ice cream. I was like, plate worthless things by ice cream.

And then going, no, no, unless you go and clean your room, you ain't fucking getting this. You told me I could have this. No, no, this is how big I am. This is how big he is.

He could literally fuck it for him. Like, if they turn on to him now and said, OK, well, you do UFC 200. But if you're not doing the promotion side of it, we're not going to pay you as much. He could go, well, fuck you then, and go to Bellenayer.

And Bellenayer would then instantly be the biggest company. It could possibly be. I mean, because then anytime a Bellenayer don't put a fucking Kimbo slice in a main event, then you're on the right track. But because he's fucked up, don't you?

I'm standing him. But is that how big he is? He can literally fucking turn around to the UFC and say, go fuck yourself. I've just shown you what I can do to you if you don't.

Because you're getting shitload stuff now. Like, kind of fine. Like, kind of fine. You know, what you're doing?

Daniel will be getting sweets out the arse for it. Saying, why have you come out and why have you stuck him off the card? He wants to fight. He wants to do this.

We don't care about him doing a press conference. We don't care about him doing some fucking interview with some dickhead. We don't watch anyway. You know, it's incredibly interesting.

Yes. And it's going to play out probably in a more interesting way. So maybe we have to do a reaction to the reaction. Until then.

Until then. Thanks very much. Listen everyone. We are at the MREFC.
