And I have nothing against the UFC or Dana or anything like that. Of course, if they called me up and they\u2019re like, \u2018Hey! Parachute in on a Union Jack flag for (UFC) 261,\u2019 I\u2019d be there in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a weird place, because I just kind of don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s happened. And my concern is that Dana\u2019s got a perspective of the situation that\u2019s not true, and that\u2019s what concerns me more than anything. Like, I could not sit octagon-side ever again, as long as Dana doesn\u2019t have this misconception of who I am.
