Sapp spoke. "The fighter plays a game if there is a contract. And doesn't play the game if there is no contract. It is simple. "
He explained about "Truth" between K-1 and Sapp that differ.
"I tried to get a contract. However, K-1 didn’t even discuss it. The intention of
K-1 was to not sign a contract at all. I felt that I was cheated by K -1. Moreover, on that day when the fight was canceled, Sapp spoke about Fuji Television Network that witnessed a part of the event." Sapp criticized Fuji TV for not reporting the “Truth”.
Sapp spoke of the possibility of fighting with organizations other than K-1.
"for now the possibility is not known. It is necessary to deal with the problem with K-1. We wish to express our gratitude of the support of the martial arts community for K-1. However, I was exposed at risk, and K-1 did not help me. I think that K-1 betrayed me.
I want K-1 to apologize to me. I want K-1 to offer a place were I can fight in safety."
