We both do 2 matches on 1 evening, each of you both put up 500k or 1 million every, and I’ll put up 1-2 million, relying. We each compete in the identical evening,and winners take all. If one among you is simply too [cat emoji] to just accept, I’ll face one among you for 1m vs 1m, which I believe is comical seeing as the truth that NF is gonna should pay roughly 350k I taxes. I do know pea mind has by no means made 7 figures in his life, however after taxes, you could have round 650k left, perhaps 700 for those who’re fortunate. After placing at the very least 20% down in your million greenback home, I’d completely be prepared to guess you don’t have 300-350k money available laying round to place into escrow, which suggests you’ll should safe a sponsor to entrance you that cash, and seeing as I’ve crushed you each a complete of 5x, together with 4 Submissions, good luck on that. Matches is not going to be left as much as judges, can have minimal ref interference, and thus will likely be no time restrict, submission solely. Athletes can even be required to put on lengthy sleeve rash guards and spats (with a no roll up rule) since 4 individuals have already accused you of grease (mason, pena, me, yuri). Competitors will happen after I’m wholesome, if I’m wholesome and on a date and platform I determine. Till then, preserve dreaming you’ll ever be anyplace close to my stage after beating guys who can’t make it out of the first day at ADCC. In case you don’t reply right here or publicly, I take this as a no, and I can’t reply after this until I get a transparent sure or no to this response. I’m not negotiating. I’m the king, you comply with my guidelines, otherwise you shut up. And earlier than you guess your new discovered “wealth”, ensure you’re not gonna default on an irs fee and find yourself in jail or homeless, as a result of solely one among us has 1,000,000 to blow, and everyone knows who that’s ;). That is principally a message to NF, bec everyone knows Craig’s the last word can crusher and needs completely nothing to do with any sort of bodily confrontation with me. Nicely, at the very least craig will likely be on the academy serving to you put together for the camp similar to he did for cgi and adcc… oh wait…”
