UFC lightweight James Vick has found his way onto a four fight winning streak. With that in mind, the talented 13-1 fighter is seemingly not happy with his treatment by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) at the moment.
Speaking on Submission Radio, as seen within the video below, Vick revealed that he feels the UFC is perhaps not promoting him properly. With only a single loss on his professional record and a series of impressive victories, the fighter is looking for some more attention from the organization.
Check out Vick’s thoughts down below:
“OK, just without saying his name, and I know you’re thinking of probably the right person, you know how the other day he posted something about a main event?”
“If we’re thinking about the same person, I’m not gonna say his name yet, but I was never offered a main event. Let’s be clear about that. I have never been offered a main event. I was told that I’d be on the main card. That’s what I was told, that I’d be on the f**kin’ main card. That’s not a fucking main event and it’s not even a f**king pay-per-view. So once again, this plays right into what you’re saying with my relationship with the UFC. I don’t understand it, I don’t f**king get it.
“And when I was on the phone yesterday negotiating with the Sean Shelby, that was brought up. I said, ‘Why the f**k am I 9-1 in the UFC, I’ve never been on a main card of a pay-per-view?’ I’ve never been on a countdown show? I’ve never… I’ve been flown out to one event. last year I got flown out to international fight week and that’s it. I said, ‘I’ve never been…’ I said, ‘This is f**king ridiculous, man.’ And his answer was, ‘That’s not my department’. Well, maybe you should talk to that department, you know what I’m saying? I don’t understand it either. I mean, it really is kind of annoying. It kind of makes you, almost makes me want to fight my last two fights out and play the field, you know what I’m saying? It’s like, do I go where I’m celebrated or where I’m tolerated? Like, this shit’s a joke.”
“Regardless, I still have two fights left on my contract. So I have to fight it out regardless. I mean, dude, I’m like everyone else. I don’t want to leave the UFC. I want to be a f**kin’ UFC world champion. The problem is this fight gets me no closer to becoming a world champion, in my opinion. So of course I want to be a world champion, you know? I feel like this fight doesn’t really get me any closer. So I’m not happy about it. I’m f**king 31 years old, I’m not 21 anymore, how many of these fucking guys do I… If I get a top 10 opponent and I lose, that’s my fucking fault. I’ll go win a few more fights and come back. But right now I want another chance. There’s several of these guys who’ve gotten multiple chances.”
