"I just touched base with Joe Silva and he explained this is basically what happened regarding Mousasi:"
"Mousasi called him Saturday because he suspected he had been lied to by his manager, Appy Echteld, regarding an offer of $40,000/$40,000 from the UFC and then encouraged to accept an offer from Strikeforce.
