The UFC star has confirmed that heās split from his long-time management company and is now a free agent in the managing world. Masvidal (35-16 MMA, 12-9 UFC) revealed the news to Ariel Helwani on Monday following an initial report by MMA Mania.
Masvidal said there was some sort of falling out, but didnāt want to get into the exact details, as there may be a legal aspect to the separation.
ā100 percent split with them,ā Masvidal said. āYou know, my momma always said, āBabe, if you have nothing good to say, donāt say nothing at all.ā So right now weāre going through some turmoil, litigation, that itās not fair. Iām not going to talk about this or that right now, just weāre still going through it. At the end of this chapter, when all these things get done, Iāll have an exact report on that. Weāre going through court and I donāt want to talk about anything right now, anything more than what I just said.
āWeāre not in the greatest of terms, Iāll tell you that. I have no ill will towards them. I donāt owe them any money. They donāt owe me any money, but thereās other things that have affected the relationship severely. That they could fix, that they couldāve fixed by now, but they havenāt, so Iām just waiting for these things to get resolved.ā
Masvidal, whoās scheduled to return to action on April 8 at UFC 287 against Gilbert Burns, said heās currently representing himself. Heās not closed to working with future management companies, but as of now, heāll remain solo.
āItās basically me,ā Masvidal said. āIām working with a lot of managers, a lot of companies. Thereās a lot of great managers out there. And thatās another thing, this is no secret. Iāll say this because everybody knows that FRM doesnāt have the best relations or any relations with any other managers, a lot of sponsors, and things like that.
āThey have their own way of doing stuff and it doesnāt appeal to a lot of people. There was a lot of people that I wasnāt talking because they have beef with them. Iām talking to everybody right now. Every week someone is trying to pitch me to go to lunch or some f*cking movie script this, sponsorship there. Ok, one day closed, but 2,000 windows opened. Iām managing myself.
Mavidal later added,
āI really donāt feel that I need (help) in that direct aspect of talking to the UFC, I can do all of that now. I just have to put somebody in place to do this or that. And Iām talking to some great agencies for that. Something can come off of it. I just became a free agent months ago.ā
His manager seemed like a piece of trash. He openly bragged about Jorge committing a crime
And Phoney openly brags about his own crimes so what does that make him?
You love supporting the biggest pieces of shit.
Wonder what that makes you?
what does the cliche say about a Fool For A Client ?
