Gegard je više puta izašao u medije kako je nezadovoljan sa platom u UFC-u i sada je dobio odgovor na to od Dana White, razlog lošoj plati je jer ne raspordaje dovoljno karata i ne puni hale.

Via”BloodyElbow”:

“Gegard Mousasi isn’t selling out arenas. That’s why you see guys like Bisping, different fighters from Brazil, Conor McGregor. When you have guys who have countries behind them, it’s a game-changer for them. Not everybody has that luxury. Listen, I’m a Gegard fan. I’m the one who who brought Gegard in here. I like the guy very much.”

Gegard je poslednji put bio u akciji na UFC210 prošlog vikenda kada je završio bivšeg UFC prvaka Chris Weidmana tehničkim nokautom u drugoj rundi.
