Al Iaquinta segrade mot Diego Sanchez under förra helgens Fight Night i Nashville i Tennessee, men uttryckte direkt stort missnöje över att han inte fick någon bonus på 50 000 dollar.
Mike Perry var en utav de fighters som fick en bonus efter sin knockout av Jake Ellenberger och han svarade sedan Iaquinta direkt via Twitter om att lugna ner sig:
Calm down Lil guy https://t.co/q91sCjCQ9t

Det här hade Perry att säga via ’The MMA Hour’:
I was trying to offer this man some advice. The way I put it may have seemed disrespectful, but … you think you’re going to get a bonus when you just run around disrespecting somebody who’s paying your bills, things like that?
You work hard for this, then conduct yourself properly. He said ‘f*ck you’ to the people who are setting this up for you. If you have a sour attitude towards these people who are giving you the opportunity people dream of, you need to fix your priorities.
Perry gillar inte när fighters öppet kritiserar den som betalar ut lönen och kände sig manad att försvara UFC.
I’m watching out for the UFC. He can’t just be bad-mouthing people who are doing the same thing for me. I got their back too because they got mine.
