The line about Barnett being his own man is buttering him up, while at the same time being a bit of reverse-psychology. |
from what i have gathered, josh and his guys were happy with the money and made no counter offer. they didnt say excactly what it was that they werent happy with but it wasnt the money. if i had to guess its probably something to do with josh wanting to do pro wrestling or race cars or something along those lines that the ufc doesnt want him to do, pure speculation on my part though.
