“I’m definitely glad I’m not dealing with this right now. It’s nice to be getting sponsors at WSOF. The situation is good for guys like me because it means there are more sponsors available outside of the UFC, but it sucks for all of my friends in the UFC. A lot of guys are barely getting by anyway and they need that extra money, so to have that cut really hurts a lot of people.”
