I feel like there has to be a reason why he's come to the states, doing all this media and getting his name out there?

Could it be that the UFC agreed on having a LHW interim title fight? Cuz that's what he said "had to happen" some weeks ago iirc, and now he's signed a new deal and seems very happy again.



Thoughts?
 
I assume he means this deal is better than the deals hes had previous
 
Interiiim.

Daniel said that he's not coming back down, or was this just a rumour?
 
it means my "pay Gus thread" got him paid

I deserve at least 10%
 
When UFC fighters make big announcements but dont give any information, they mostly try to stay relevant. Nothing weong with tho
 
I think it is very likely they want him fighting for an interim title. The opponent is the unclear part, as I think they're trying to rebook Volkan vs Shogun.

If only Latifi wasn't his pal.

He just said he's done at 40 which leaves him 9 months after the Stipe fight. If he beats Stipe you'd assume he stays at HW but if he loses then maybe 1 more at LHW. He's looking like he's put on a lot of weight though so maybe it's not going to be so easy to get rid of it in time and make 205 again?
 
He's FINALLY going to get a title shot!!!
 
Good for him. With different judges he would already be two time champ

He said that he's going to be around 228lbs for Stipe, but i doubt that. Although it would make sense if he's considering going back down, but he was 236lbs on fight night vs Rumble... Confusing stuff.
 
Gus probably got a 6 fight deal worth 1.5 million a fight including rebook and PPV share. He is really only viable champion now that Daniel is a HW and JBJ is in limbo. He is worth it.

No I believe he said he wouldn’t stay at HW whatever happened and hinted at retirement in the close future after one further fight. My bet is DC v Gus.
 
He means LHW is weak af and they need him, so his contract reflects that.
