He said, “I could make that weight, so the doctor stopped that sh*t. So yeah, what I could do now? I was waiting what UFC said to me. I said I wanna fight, so I gave all my money to (Diaz). It was almost two million.

So I said, ‘Give all my money to that guy, let him fight.’ If he is that gangster, he should fight for money. But he didn’t wanna fight me, you know? So, who’s the gangster now?” he further added.
