Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight No. 1 contender, Gabriel Gonzaga, is no longer under contract with the world's largest mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, having finished his current deal at UFC Fight Night 86 back in April.
And I get the feeling he won't be coming back.
Not unless UFC -- or any other MMA promotion interested in the Brazilian's services -- is willing to pony up $100,000, his minimum asking price for "risking his health" at age 37. Something he doesn't want to do for an industry that has embarrassed itself by evolving from sport to spectacle.
