Nate Maness has competed seven times under the UFC banner, earning a 5-2-0 record during his time with the promotion.
The fighter, who is a free agent at this time, is hoping that the UFC will re-sign him for another stint with the promotion.
“I feel like I’ve done my part to earn my spot,” Maness said to MMA Junkie. “We never really got a reason why. I’m 5-2 with three finishes. I fought some pretty tough guys. I’d like to be in the UFC. If not, I’d at least like a reason why I wasn’t re-signed. Other than that, I hope to continue fighting. We’ve gotten some offers in already. So I’m just stepping back and seeing what comes around and continuing on, I guess.”
Maness did pick up wins over Johnny Munoz Jr., Luke Sanders, Tony Gravely, Mateus Mendonca and Jimmy Flick during his UFC tenure.
Another thing the fighter would like is an explanation from the UFC as to how this whole situation has played out.
“I’d just like a reason,” Maness said. “I feel like that’s just good business. There was nothing on our part where we ever said anything bad about the UFC. We didn’t post anything that we weren’t supposed to. We took everything they threw at us. I’d just like a reason. What can I do better? Is it who I’m fighting? Is it who I am? Just anything like that. So I hope they hear us and I hope they reach out, even if they don’t want me. That would just bring a little ease to the situation. That would probably be the only thing.”
