I don't think the UFC owes him anything. Winning 5 fights in the IFL does not make you a good fighter.......fail Radach has lost to Sean Sherk, Chris Leben, and he was 1-1-1 in his last stint with the UFC.

The UFC can and do what ever they feel is right. He has his opinion thats fine, but in business unless your ok with the consequences then i guess say and spute all the complaints that you want. But this shit talking wont do him any favors. The UFC is probably correct here. Benji should just be a fighter and not run a promotion from the back seat. Radach needs a win for a number of reasons. 1. His last fight he lost 2. His last fight was some time ago 3. He is coming off iof a injury Horwich got a contract maybe because someone called, but also he was the guy who beat Benji. He is a Champ from the IFL. Radach is a lower first tier fighter right now. He was looking awsome until the Horwich fight. He should just push forward and he would get back to the UFC,. Alot of times the UFC signs guys cuz they are fresh and can be built up. They are young with alot of upside. You dont see them signing to many journeyman. Yes they do, but they are usually on runs or a fill in at the last minute. Or a journeyman who is new to the UFC.

He can flat out fight and what he did that day in the diner is nothing short of amazing. With that, I think he's wrong about going public this way. They told him their opinion and he can't accept it. His only focus in regards to fighting should be on Ninja Rua. So your not in the UFC at the moment, so what? Join the club. He could have a good thing going at EXC if he can string together some win's. I don't know? To me, it seems like he feels the UFC owes him a contract. They say fight & earn it. Well, go out there and earn it then Oldboy. Show them just exactly why you should be on their roster. Don't complain about how it is or why. Just do it!

If there’s a good fighter out there, then you want to grab that good fighter. It doesn’t make a difference if he goes out there and beats a nobody and then gets a win and comes back in. It’s just really stupid." He can complain all he wants about not fighting in the UFC but that quote makes it seem like the UFC OWES it to him to bring him on. THAT is what is retarded from my point of view. “That really was kind of retarded from my point of view. If there’s a good fighter out there, then you want to grab that good fighter.

Have none of you ever looked for employment before? The only difference is that there's a whole media community listening to his employment woes.

It was towards Radach who thinks he should be on Joe Silva's speed dial. And that wasn’t a slight at you, Sam, and your reporting.
