Фарид Башарат UFC-ээс хасагдсан шалтгааны талаарх Дана Уайтын мэдэгдэлд хариу барив

UFC-ийн ерөнхийлөгч Дана Уайт тус холбооны гэрээгээ дуусгасан тулаанч Фарид Башараттай дахин гэрээ байгуулаагүй нь тодорхой шалтгаантай гэж мэдэгдсэний дараа тулаанч үүнийг эрс үгүйсгэлээ.

Өнгөрсөн долоо хоногт UFC-д 7-0 гэсэн амжилттай явсан, чансаатай тулаанч Фарид Башарат гэрээний хугацаа нь дууссаны дараа тус байгууллагатай цаашид хамтран ажиллахгүй болсон юм. Бямба гарагт болсон UFC Edmonton тэмцээний дараа Дана Уайт энэ шийдвэрийн талаар тайлбарлахдаа, тулаанчидтай ажиллахад хүндрэлтэй байсан тохиолдолд ийм шийдвэр гаргадаг хэмээн учир битүүлэг хариулт өгсөн билээ.

Үүний хариуд Фарид Башарат өөрийн цахим хуудсаараа дамжуулан тулаанаас татгалзаж байгаагүй, мөн удирдлагуудтай ажиллахад ямар нэгэн асуудал үүсгэж байгаагүй гэдгээ онцлон мэдэгдэв. Тэрээр 2024 онд Абу Дабид болсон тулааны үеэр өрсөлдөгч нь жингийн хязгаараас 10 фунтээр илүү байсан ч тулалдахаар шийдсэн, мөн Contender Series-д тохойны бэртэлтэй тулалдаж байсан зэрэг баримтуудаа дурджээ.

Башаратын үзэж буйгаар UFC-ийн зүгээс түүнийг дахин гэрээ байгуулах тал дээр гурван сарын турш тодорхой хариу өгөлгүй хойшлуулсан байна. Тэрээр UFC-ийн одоогийн баримталж буй бодлого нь өндөр IQ-тэй, ухаалаг тулааныг бус, зөвхөн цус урсгасан, ширүүн тулааныг илүүд үзэх болсон нь спортын чанарыг бууруулж байна хэмээн шүүмжилжээ.

Farid Basharat does not agree with Dana White.

Last week, Basharat’s time in the UFC ended when the undefeated fighter was not re-signed to the promotion after completing his UFC contract. This caused quite the stir as Basharat was a ranked bantamweight and had a sterling 7-0 record in the UFC.

Following UFC Edmonton on Saturday, UFC CEO Dana White was asked why Basharat was not re-signed to the promotion, with White cryptically responding that “there’s definitely a reason” why the UFC parted ways with him, pointing out that in similar previous instances, it’s usually been because a fighter was hard to deal.

Well, on Sunday, Basharat responded to White’s claims on his social media, rejecting the implication entirely.

“I just want to address these comments made by Dana at the press conference last night. First of all, he kind of alluded to maybe I was turning down fights, or maybe I was difficult to deal with.
“First of all, and I’ve said this many times already, I definitely didn’t turn nobody down. In fact, we’re talking about the same guy that, in Abu Dhabi when I fought in 2024, my opponent missed weight by 10 pounds and I still went ahead with the fight. And from what I know, it’s the largest weight disparity in UFC history. Still went ahead with the fight, still put on a good show, and won. My Contender Series fight, I had a torn MCL in my elbow, still went ahead with the fight.
“So, these are facts you can ask your UFC staff, you can ask the nutrition team, you can ask the physio team. They will tell you these are facts. And with regards to if I was difficult to deal with, again, speak to your staff. Ask anybody about me, there was no issues with me in any way, shape, or form.
“I just feel like I had to put that out there, just to almost clear my name, because Dana’s gone out there and said all these things. In all my fights, my opponent had a combined record of, I think, 20-6. They’d only been finished once. And to go out there, I beat them all, I always put on a good show, every single one of my last three opponents I rocked or hurt. I just feel like I had to make this video to kind of almost clear things up.”

In a separate video posted to his YouTube account prior to White’s statement, Basharat also went into detail about how his UFC tenure ended and why he believes it happened.

“UFC 329 in July, that was my final fight on the contract,” Basharat said. “It was my fourth fight on my second contract. Generally, how it works in the UFC, before you fight your last fight out, you try to sit down with the organization and try and get a renewal going.

“We went through with the fight; obviously, I got the victory, and then subsequently after that we reached out to say, ‘Let’s renegotiate.’ They kind of stalled, just kind of put the talks on hold. And essentially, I didn’t hear anything from the UFC for about three months. I fought mid-July, and by the time I got the news was the end of October. So, over three months I didn’t really hear from them.”

“I don’t think I fit the direction that they’re trying to move in,” Basharat continued. “I think they’re trying to go for brawlers, spill your blood whether you win or lose type of stuff. And me, the way I fight, it’s high IQ, intelligent, defeat the opponent where they’re weak, and don’t fight them where they’re strong. And I don’t think that’s what they’re going for. …

“I think the company, the UFC, is manufacturing a fanbase that doesn’t appreciate good quality fighting, and they just appreciate these rock’em type fights where, even if it’s a mismatch, even if it’s a low-level fight, as long as there’s blood, as long as it’s a first-round finish, we’re happy. And in my opinion, you can’t build a sport off that. You might do well for a couple of years ratings-wise, but sooner or later, it’s going to delegitimize the sport.”

There was definitely luck involved. We don’t have to pretend there wasn’t. That doesn’t detract from the performance.

Blanchfield.

I’ll be honest, I never would’ve guessed that Farid Basharat would be a guy that had the MMA community split on his value to the sport. But that’s just one of the wonderful parts of MMA: you never know what’s coming.
