I just talked to DW and this is what he had to say:
The split was amicable and the terms were decided on in advance. Cro Cops $350k (plus bonuses) contract had a clause in it stating that if he lost two consecutive fights Zuffa had the right to void the existing agreement and negotiate a new one.
CC never dreamed that he would be so overwhelmed by the level of competition he has faced in the UFC so far and and the losses have impacted him mentally.
The UFC did NOT cut Cro Cop from the roster nor did they threaten to make him sit out until his contract expired if he didn't take the pay cut deal.
Rather than negotiate a new contract with the UFC right now (and risk racking up more losses), Cro Cop wants to get a couple of tune up fights (and wins) in some of the smaller shows (no more tune up matches for him in the UFC) in hopes of rebuilding his confidence and getting himself back on track.
DW understood completely and supported Cro Cop in his decision. The last thing DW wants to do is shell out a six-figure purse to a fighter that isn't fighting worth a dayum. Even though it would have been lower than the original figure, it would still be a waste of money and resources.
Cro Cops ultimate goal is to win the UFC HW championship belt and DW believes he still has the potential to accomplish that goal. CC's plan when he signed with the UFC was, "I will become Champion after three matches. I will need two and a half or three months off between each match. I expect to hold the UFC belt by the Summer. Then I want Pride Champion Fedor Emelianenko, Vs Me the UFC Heavyweight Champion on New Years Eve."
quote:
Ok, verhaal is simpel. Ten eerste, CC heeft de UFC zwaar onderschat en heeft dit toegegeven. De 2 losses hebben een zware impact op hem gemaakt. Mentaal zat het allemaal niet goed.
Na 2 opeenvolgende losses treed er een clausule in het contract in werking. Dit houdt in dat na die 2 losses het contract opnieuw opgesteld wordt met andere voorwaarden en minder geld etc etc.
Crocop wilt nog steeds voor de belt gaan in de UFC maar is bang dat ie weer een loss krijgt omdat het mentaal gewoon een bende bij hem is. Dus, mooie deal tussen Dana White en Crocop... Crocop mag ff paar partijtjes bij Dream gaan knokken.. soort van opwarmers om het mentaal weer op een rijtje te krijgen. Zodra CC weer fris achter de oren is krijgt ie een nieuwe kans bij de UFC.
Ik vind het een mooie oplossing.
