He knows that it would come out really fake for him to do that so he most likely never will. He should really just be himself and let his skills speak for him. The more fake the UFC becomes the less I am interested in it. I like trash talk as much as the next guy but it needs to be genuine and not fake or rehearsed. If the guys who talk trash get paid so much more than the guys who don't then everyone is going to do it and it's going to look really dumb. But it is what it is. What I don't get is how someone like Sage Northcutt is getting paid 40/40 right off the bat and Stephen Thompson is still getting friggin 27/27. These contracts are shit that they last for so long. Guys like Stephen should be getting increased pay at a faster rate. If he loses a close fight with Robbie Lawler is Dana going to be like "hurr durr you just lost and aren't a big enough draw, how about 30/30? durrrrr"
