Rumored Mokaev was in negotiations with PFL while under contract with UFC

This would make Dana's comments make more sense and why he was immediately cut after the fight

Mokaev you goof didn't you know that negotiations while under contract is....

Mokaev never struck me as a smart one, but he is talented.

Still missing some more explicit confirmation. It was known that it's the last fight on his contract.

To be honest, usually contracts get negotiated before they expire. There was probably good indication that UFC soured on him before his last fight, and his management just started the process. And Dana is a prick, so he likes to have all the control.

 

[The Siege]

Too much we dont know. What we do know is that his contract is coming to an end, so there are two possibilities:

- If the UFC told him we are resigning you for sure and he still went into negotiations with PFL, then that might not have been the smartest move.

- If the UFC did not indicate that they were going to resign him, then getting into negotiations is the smartest thing he could have done.

Either way, he should know that the UFC operates like a bush league promotion, sometimes they make business decisions based on personal feelings and vendettas. You need to tread carefully when you work with them.

Stupid restrictive bullshit that people aren't supposed to find out what other people think they're worth.

they cut him for a list of issues.

imo the biggest might be that he said they tried to influence how he fights and dana never denied that

Dana is petty..

It is also illegal to tell fighters to fight stand up only and the sole reason for that little emoji there. That was Daner freaking out about Gary Shaw and Elite XC telling Seth Petruzelli to stand and bang with Kimbo Slice. Daner running Clown World very well. imho

I must’ve got bad information. I’d heard that he was in negotiations with the special olympics.

Did not watch the video but isn't it the norm that when your employment contract is coming up, one may want to talk to all potential employers with whom you are interested in working for to see their offers, interests, their work place culture, the fit, etc.?

the UFC is really big on non-compete clauses.
Which I pressume would be relevant here?
(Even though fighters aren't technically employers, they're independent contractors, but that's how the UFC rolls)

Aren't UFC fighters supposed to be "Indipendent Contractors"??

 

[runjay]

Hold the phone… pfl has a midget division??

 

[Thepaintbucket]

This is exactly what I said in another thread. Dana White is willing to tolerate boring fighters and antics so it didn't add up

Anytime contract negotiations come up and Dana White uses the words difficult to deal with you already know the fighter is asking for more money than the UFC is willing to pay

The PFL doesn't have a Flyweight or Bantamweight division for men, so I guess Mokaev would be thrown into the Bellator fighter mix. And speaking of mix, Mokaev vs. Patchy Mix is an intriguing fight. Mokaev/Horiguchi..... looks like it may work out well for Mokaev.
