n the ongoing saga of "When is Vinny going to be in the UFC?", we finally get a little clarity from Mr. Magalhaes himself. After several months of not fighting, despite holding the M-1 light heavyweight title, numerous pleas to the UFC and Dana White to get him signed, and a plethora of media attention to his current status, Vinny released a public statement via his Twitter, earlier today.

In short, his M-1 contract is up, and the right to exclusive negotiation expired in March. Now, the right to match phase is still in effect, and is valid until July. The young Brazilian has decided to wait out the terms of his champion's clause, so he can be free of any interference from the Russian based organization. From there, he'll be able to entertain serious offers.

Check out the post he made today on his Twitter via the Twitlonger application after the jump


Hey friends/fans,

I'd like to clarify for those who are wondering why I haven't been scheduled to fight or haven't been signed by any promotion yet.

I AM done with my contract obligations with M-1 Global, I am a free agent, that means that I'm free to take offers from any promotion, but since I finished my contract as M-1 Light Heavyweight Champion, I had champions clause on my contract, that gave M-1 Global a 60 days "Right to Exclusive negotiation", which was over in March (When I became free agent). Now I'm under the "right-to-match period" which will be over in couple months.

For those who don't know, that means that whatever offer I get from any other promotion, M-1 Global will have the right to match that same offer, and if they do it, I'm 'obligated' to resign with them. So I have decided to NOT take any offer from any other promotion until the right to match period ends, so I can just walk away from M-1 Global, and take whatever offer I choose to, after that period is over without having to worry about the threats that Evgeni Kogan made to me and my manager by email, which was "to match whatever offer I get just to prove a point" (basically saying that he'd want to keep me under contract just to f**k with me, excuse my language).

So with me not taking any offer, there's no offer for him to match, therefore I just have to wait for the right-to-match period to end, so I can sign with whatever promotion that I want to sign without having to deal with bullshit.

That period ends sometime in July, so if you're wondering when I will be fighting again, I can not give you that answer, but In july I should be signed and scheduled to fight somewhere. As soon as I take an offer AFTER that period ends, I will find that out.

Vinny Magalhaes
Still the M-1 Challenge Light heavyweight Champion of Russia Smile

If Kogan say that he's going too far, but Vinny needs to prove it before talking like that. Let this guy go out, no reason to have him on M-1 anymore. Maybe the UFC won't get him, if so probably Bellator will offer him something. Anyway, i don't care much about it. Guy's a snake and stabbed even his countrymen in the back and don't deserve attention.

I really wanted to see Vinny defend his M-1 title and continue fighting for them but if that is not going to work it is what it is.

I am still not sure he will be able to get out of the offer match contract requirement that easy if after July M-1 decides to match his best offer. Only way to know for sure is to read the contract.

Regardless, I still wish Vinny the best wherever he ends up but this whole thing is ridiculous from both sides in my opinion. It sucks this turned out this way.

If UFC offers the best deal then that is that. It would be sweet to also see Vinny in KSW, ONE FC, or Bellator.

So for example if UFC offered Vinny $1 million, M-1 would match it. Then UFC would have to offer a higher amount maybe offer $2 million and M-1 would again match it.

Whats the problem Vinny, this is how things is supposed to work. It work like this in many sports and with many athletes.

Hope this guy doesnt get a good $$$ contract, not get signed at all. I dont care about this diva and hope I dont hear from him again.

Just get rid of Vinny and let Grishin fight Narkun or Safarov for the title.
