The following is an excerpt from an interview with Joachim Hansen from IronLife.com: you can find the rest of the article there.
Q: Have you spoken to the UFC at all?
A: They offered me a fight some months ago • I wasn’t sure if they had bought Pride or what the hell was going on. They offered me a fight against Marcus Aurelio, they offered me half the salary of what I got in Pride. Obviously at the time they had already bought Pride, in my opinion they also bought my contract, so how can they offer me half the salary?
Too much funny things going on, I don’t really want to play games so you know, I’m out in the cold and I’ll make the best out of the situation with kickboxing, boxing and other stuff • and hopefully I’ll be signing a new contract with another organisation, maybe Cage Rage, Heroes or something, I don’t know… and I’ll try to get back on track again.
