And how is not going to the best mma org and fighting the best in the world "balls and honor"?
He had just signed a new contract with PRIDE before Zuffa bought the company and when Zuffa were transferring the contracts they cut his contract in half, only offering him half of what he originally signed with PRIDE. Obviously he didnt take too kindly to this and basically told them to go fuck themselves which is why we have never seen him in the UFC.

This.
Hansen is the type of guy who is all about respect and he felt disgusted by the UFC offering him 50% less than he was contracted for.
^I would also love to see him in the UFC. The guy has never been in a boring fight.
With that said, I think there's some bridges burned pretty badly from both sides and it would probably require UFC to apologize Hansen, which isn't gonna happen in a million years.
Hellboy on UFC:
"I would fight any one of the UFC lightweights, but the problem is that I will never put my foot in the octagon after they (UFC) tried to be funny. I would rather have bleeding hemorrhoids than fight for the UFC. The Japanese MMA audience is the best in the world. They make magic! I would rather have one true Japanese MMA supporter than one million fake mainstream supporters that will turn their back on you as soon as you lose a fight. I don't care about things that are mainstream."

I can understand where he's coming from with that but it's been 6 years. Overeem, Barnett, Melendez, all these guys are finally coming to the UFC. Hansen should do the same. And I only say this as a fan because it's not very fun to see him "waste" time in shootboxing and the likes when he could be making good money and earning some fame. My 2 cents.
So? He stuck to his guns and said fuck you to zuffa. What does it matter if some 40yo virgin in his basement makes the comments of "he needs to prove himself in the ufc!!!"
I have a feeling I'm going to kill you one day
You can get arrested for a statement like that you know...And definitely banned.
Make death threats on the internet is a FEDERAL CRIME.
Comprende you pos?
Guess whose IP addresses and a screenshot are gonna find their way into an email soon................?
Maybe you should permanently disappear from the UG now...
I wish he would bury the hatchet with Zuffa and sign. Hansen has some of the most entertaining grappling in mma, not even mentioning his power on the feet.
