"No, I did not negotiate a new contract. We were in negotiations for a little bit, I didn’t like where the offer ended up, they didn’t like my counter offer. So I said just resend my contract with the original numbers and I’m going to go ahead and fight it out and test out free agency after I win.”
“No I have not had any contact with them, that would be tampering, I have not had any contact with them. But, I know my value. I know where it’s at, I know where my position on the cards have always been. I know my record, I know what I can offer the organizations that I fight for due to my charisma, my character, my personality, my athletic background, my pedigree, all the above. Andy my fighting style, I know what I have to offer. So I know what I’m worth and I’ll get that. But I can tell you what I will not do ever again. I will never fight for less than what I’m worth again. I will not put my life, and or limb, on the line for less than what I’m worth. I’m really, really happy that Sage [Northcutt] and Paige [VanZant] both get paid forty and forty. That’s great, because all that’s going to do is bump up the bottom level market and that’s going to get guys like me, who have been around and are time-tested, we’re going to get paid accordingly.”
All the best Matt , much love on the UG. Do whats best for your family and yourself

UGCTT_REMEMBER MY NAME - Fuck yeah. Stick to your guns Meathead. The UG backs you 100%.
Remember !!!!!
Meathead 100% right. Meathead fights are always action filled bombs thrown till the end type of fights. I think Meathead deserves a nice chunk of change for his fights. Big Ben does too. All these Golden Kids being paid large sums for their looks would anger me as a fighter too, knowing I've been getting punched in the mouth for years, and the brass telling me I'm worth pennies, then here come the new kids fighting the lower end of the talent pool commanding more than me? Fuck that noise! 
Get paid Meat! Wherever that is, I will watch.

Thought he was already signed to fight Travis Browne?

I hope to see Meat in a Japanese promotion sometime soon...
Bellator be nice. 
Wherever he ends up, I hope he gets paid.
Matt getting $36k to show is pretty low IMO.
I hope he thumps Browne and gets paid.
I love seeing this! I really am pulling for him! If he did not F up on the Ben fight he would be on the short list for a title and is really marketable.
Glad to see the fighters doing their own version of testing.
Don't hate on those that are getting paid UG. Meathead deserves a good deal but needs to up his game and prove himself.
Love Matt as a great heavyweight and hope he wins every time he fights.
Big fan of the Meat.
Beep!!
Hope he gets that Cheddar.
