Nobody forced you into a contract. If you truly felt you were not getting what you deserved you should NOT of signed it. You were paid to fight, and IMO you did not fight. I do not doubt your injuries but quite frankly your corner should of thrown in the towel early in the second round. All that was done from the second round forward is you kept moving quickly away from Nate. That could NOT of been good for your broken foot.

I can definitely understand why Dana White was angry with your performance as well as the entire audience. For the Canadian fans to Boo their home country fighter and Cheer the American fighter speaks volumes. If it was another american fighter that was a poster boy that would be one thing but he literally walked into boos and walked out to cheers.

Nate did everything he possibly could to engage and you did everything you possibly could to disengage. Unlike some of the fans here I hope you recover quickly get back to training and I hope to see you fight again. Every fighter has an off night and I hope you dont have to experience another fight like that.
Don't try to be smart when you are not. Signing with the UFC is about the only way to make name in the USA, which leads to sponsor contracts that are the real money.
