So let me give you just a million examples.

First of all, they control their media class like no sport on earth.

controls their media class if you get out of line brother they will take your credential period this is well established even against very very big names they'll do it i haven't gone to a ufc show in four years now i'm not applied for a credential but i'm not going to waste my time right there's really no point to it and then more to the point if you're a ufc fighter they'll say you know we don't we don't control these guys what they mean is

They'll let them say slurs.

But if you, for example, are, you know, your water's been turned off.

I've seen this.

And then you win a fight.

They put a microphone in your face.

You say, I really need a bonus because I don't my water's not turned on.

They'll purposely not do it because they don't want you on the microphone.

broadcast into the world that you're poor but if it's a free speech organization and you don't control what guys say why do you just let them say slurs and then not let them question the ness the necessity of some of your business practices the reality is i'm not going to be told what to do by them and the way in which i have constructed my career is to never be able to position where i have to ask them for anything because if you ask them for something

Well, then they hold it over your head.

But the reality is, Tim, it's honestly worked out to my benefit because the media class is so unable to marshal any of these criticisms in any kind of way.

It has created a gigantic lane for me.

Yes, it creates friction within the industry.

That is true.

But there's so many people, including UFC champions, who have messaged me saying that they're grateful that at least somebody is articulating this into the marketplace, you know?

It's well-known.

It's well-known.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
