What people are saying
Misfits came with a crazy deal, an absolutely crazy deal
I’ve left the UFC and now I’m making more money.
I’m making 2x more, just over, and in a shorter period, it’s a three fight deal, in the three fight deal I’ll make more than I did in my entire UFC contract.
For me, it’d be embarrassing that my champions were complaining, I would personally want to rectify that.
