And yet has he taken the time to consider where he would be without the UFC? If Zuffa didn't build the sport into what it is where would he be? Would he have sponsers paying him whatever, his own clothing line and be a movie star? I don't believe so. He says it's not just about money but that's the only gripe I hear from him. If the UFC didn't respect him why would they let him have a title shot right out of retirement? Plenty of people thought that was pure favoritism for Randy. Randy said when he came back he would take it one fight at a time and see where he went. What if he lost? The UFC hands him a million dollar signing bonus and he loses to Tim just to retire again. What, thanks for the million but maybe I am too old? He says Fedor is all that makes sense. Big Nog is nobody then? After all he did say he would fight him next. Every man is right in his own eyes I guess. You can certainly understand Randy’s points and feelings. And yet has he taken the time to consider where he would be without the UFC?

Hard to believe that he got No ppv bonus for the Gonzaga fight. here is a bit longer clip from HdNet’s coverage:
