“Meathead” Matt Mitrione fired his agent Malki Kawa live on camera at UFC 119 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He said this on the microphone during a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bfmVlPhvTo][/youtube]
During this interview with Ariel Helwani, Mr. Mitrione says that the reason he fired Mr. Kawa is because he made $5,000USD in sponsorships for his ‘national TV’ fight against Joey Beltran on Spike TV for the preliminary bouts. Matt claims that when he asked Mr. Kawa about sponsors and getting preparations ready for his shorts (to place the ads on), he claims that Malki told him to keep his (Mitrione’s) wife out of his business affairs. Mitrione was unhappy and felt that he should have been making more in sponsorship money.
Here is Malki Kawa’s response: Quote:
Guys, I’m not going to comment until I speak to him. I’ve called into him and I’m waiting for him to respond. Once I understand the problem, I’ll talk about it.
