But at the time, I had permission to use UFC footage.

They were allowing me to make war rooms and all kinds of stuff.

Right, because it only helps them.

That's it.

I mean, I was an ambassador for Europe as well as being a commentator.

So my job in my mind was to spread the word of MMA, right?

I'm trying to educate everybody as much as I can.

and I could make a lot more content through my channel than I could rely on the UFC to make content.

So I was just trying to churn extra stuff out to keep drawing attention to it.

So they'd given me permission to use footage on my channel, and I'd built a company off the back of this.

I'd employed my Raptors.

I think you remember meeting those guys.

And all that was gone, you know?

And the thing is, it was like...

I understand that the UFC are not going to fire me for shouting up to protect a fighter.

But I knew on that day my card was marked.

I knew that my card was marked on that day because I was too stubborn.

I didn't wait for the UFC to tell me what I should have said and this and that.

I posted my video.

I wanted to clear my name.
