Otherwise known as the “Gangster from West Linn, Ore.,” UFC character Chael Sonnen produced an unusual bill of demands before he signs his new contract. The fighter’s next battle with Mauricio “Shogun” Rau is scheduled to take place Aug. 17.

The text reads, “Dana, my manager said you guys talked and are getting a contract together for me. I think you should be aware of my demands. First Jello Biafra replaces Bruce Buffer as ring announcer. Secondly, every fight I’m in must be a No. 1 contender fight or title match. If I lose, I get an immediate rematch until I win. No media can look me in the eye, or they will be removed fromt he room. No.5: Headset legalized through the commission so I can call my own fights. No.6: No longer will I walk to the ring. I need to be carried. No.7: Keys to your least favorite Ferrari-I’m not asking too much. No.8: I can Skype or FaceTime my fights if I feel like flying. No.9-and it’s non-negotiable: Tell(“Georges St. Pierre) to stop being such a (expletive). I’ll return his truck when I’m done with it.”
