At the very least, flyweight Nathan Maness wants an explanation if his contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship isn’t renewed.
last month. While “Mayhem” was expecting to hear from the UFC about a renewal, there has been radio silence since then.. “We sent out a couple of different messages. We gave them a couple of weeks after the fight and then we sent out a couple feelers, but we can’t even really get a response. Your guess is as good as mine.”Maness’ win over Flick put him on a two-fight winning streak, improving his overall promotional record to 5-2.
“I feel like I’ve done my part to earn my spot,” he said. “We never really got a reason why. I’m 5-2 with three finishes. I fought some pretty tough guys. I’d like to be in the UFC. If not, I’d at least like a reason why I wasn’t re-signed. Other than that, I hope to continue fighting. We’ve gotten some offers in already. So, I’m just stepping back and seeing what comes around and continuing on, I guess.
Even if this is the end of his journey with the UFC, Maness would at least like to know where he went wrong. “I’d just like a reason. I feel like that’s just good business,” he said. “There was nothing on our part where we ever said anything bad about the UFC. We didn’t post anything that we weren’t supposed to. We took everything they threw at us. I’d just like a reason. What can I do better? Is it who I’m fighting? Is it who I am? Just anything like that. So I hope they hear us and I hope they reach out, even if they don’t want me. That would just bring a little ease to the situation.
