Following his impressive knockout victory against Gilbert Urbina at UFC Vegas 85, Charles Radtke made headlines not just for his performance inside the octagon but also for his post-fight behavior.
After securing the win, Radtke sat down for the customary post-fight interview with media members. However, the Q&A session was noticeably brief, with the fighter offering short, two-sentence responses to the journalist. When asked about his next fight, Radtke's response shifted:
"How much money you got? That's what it is... You guys get these interviews for free. I need to get paid. Let's go!"
Trending
Delivering this statement, Radtke quickly moved on to the next question. However, his demand for compensation seemingly went off with the media, leaving the 33-year-old American with no further questions to answer. He then concluded the session with a curt:
"Good, I'm out", before walking away.

Charles Radtke takes shot at Colby Covington after impressive knockout win
Charles Radtke punctuated his victory with a message for the division, particularly aimed at former interim champion Colby Covington.
Radtke stalked Urbina throughout the opening round, patiently waiting for his chance. He connected with a heavy left early, sending Urbina to the canvas, but the fight continued.
Undeterred, Radtke unleashed another devastating left hook moments later, this time crumpling Urbina for the win at 4:47 of round one. Victorious, he addressed the welterweight division during his octagon interview with Daniel Cormier.
After voicing his opinion on the current state of the weight class, Radtke didn't shy away from a personal attack, aiming his sights at Colby Covington:
Radtke said:
"I just got to let everybody know, 170 [pound division] looks like s**t right now. But I'm in the division to make it great again. Colby Covington, you still suck."
