\"Gegard<\/a>
\nFormer Strikeforce light heavyweight champion and current UFC middleweight contender Gegard Mousasi is the latest fighter to speak out against the UFC’s Reebok sponsorship deal.<\/p>\n

“The Dreamcatcher” recently sat down with BloodyElbow<\/a> where he stated that he stands to make a lot less money due to the new arrangement, his words:<\/p>\n

“Well, I’m going to make a lot less. Other than that, I can’t say much about it,” Mousasi said. “I’ll be making 4 or 5 times less, it’s a big difference”<\/em><\/p>\n

The UFC has already changed the original tiering based on it’s rankings system, and Mousasi is hoping that more changes may follow: <\/p>\n

“I don’t know, maybe they are going to change something still. I don’t know, I hope so.”<\/em><\/p>\n

If no changes occur, Gegard is at least fortunate enough to be one of the few fighters who have solid cash flow from outside of his MMA career:<\/p>\n

“Well I have other incomes. I have my buildings that I am renting. I have other incomes apart from my fighting, so this is just a bonus, fighting,” he states. “Yes, it’s definitely (important to invest your fight purses into other things). With fighting, it’s difficult to do something else because we’ve been doing this for a long time. You’re not going to be a doctor suddenly.”<\/em><\/p>\n
