introduce. I ask who my next opponent could possibly be and half joking half serious ask for the champion if he’s available … Joe took the opportunity to tell me with the way I am fighting I’ll never get a title shot as long as he’s around, they all laugh.” ...
At this point I am completely embarrassed, I want to hurt him but I just joined this promotion and this guy pretty much makes the rules. The funny part was he was standing and I could have swore he was fully seated. So I took the high road and went to my room in a rage...

I got paid 2k and 2k for my first ufc fight when they were starting out. When they got rich they kept us all poor. We are commodities to them. I’m with Jorge,Bones,Maynard and all the others that have the balls to stand up to the man. https://twitter.com/SammyJstout/status/1271742207674982400?s=20

There are many. One time, as I was at the curtain about to make the walk, he reminded me why he signed me and why he hadn't cut me yet. In other words, perform how I expect or you're gone. One hell of a pep talk when you're already under immense pressure https://twitter.com/MikePierce170/status/1271941576311201792?s=20

Silva told me.Since I lost on the Ultimate Fighter that I would never be good enough for the UFC. Once I got in he hated me, then couldn’t wait for me to lose. So he gave me four badass newcomers and once I lost he cut me after 3 previous KO victories. https://twitter.com/GHurricane/status/1272927275168735236?s=20

He said I dont need you i said ok then he calls me dec 28 offers me a fight im two weeks i said no i couldnt even make the weight if i wanted to and we already had this talk. ....
So cause i said no they put me on the shelf for six months waited till I was starving and broke before offering a fight on two weeks notice against a killer. Thats how ufc does business. Your just cattle to them.
Brendan Schaub- As I’m walking out he goes ‘You better not treat him like your f*cking friend'.
-I was coming off a KO loss to Rothwell, so they gave me a Knockout artist next and said win or we will cut you from the UFC.

Aljamain Sterling- Upon joining the UFC, signed for $8,000 purse on a 4 fight deal. Plus Bonuses. $12,000/$12,000 purse/bonus for submitting Mizugaki....
'I need to be getting paid more money if I'm going to be fighting killers' ....
Dissapointed with the increased offer from the UFC, Sterling chose to fight out his contract and test the free agent market. Seeing if he would be valued elsewhere.
Sterling made a total of $63,000 in his run to the top 5.
So his realtionship has since been turbulent
