The show didn&#8217;t go on and I took responsibility for it but we didn&#8217;t speak. I was in Vegas, I was in a meeting at the UFC headquarters and I actually took the time to wait for him to finish with his business.

That&#8217;s what I would like to hear if my employees messed up, I would like to hear directly from them. I just told him that I messed up, the show has to go on, it didn&#8217;t, I take responsibility, these are the steps that I&#8217;ve taken, these are the steps I&#8217;m going to take and he appreciated that.
