Disappointing, but it's because he wants to fight 5-6 times a year for the next two years. I'm assuming a lot of those fights will be in Dream or even K-1, but he wouldn't get that kind of activity in the UFC.
He said in 2 years he'll cut down to about 3 fights a year. That sounds like a plan to move to the UFC to me, and he'll still only be 26 or 27 if he does make the move.

He wants to be able to fight K-1, box and to grapple, as CPT says.

Yeah I figured that much, but the level of competition in the LH division in the UFC would we great to test him. Well next person is Shields, hoping he makes the move after all that GSP talk.

Looks like he's not quite ready for the UFC anyway...
