Are fighters protesting against zuffa?

What are the odds all these guys get injured in a span of 2 months seems highly improbable. Perhaps its the new go to negotiating tactic?
What say ye the ug Phone Post

I don't think that's what's happening, but the UFC needs to realize that if 5-6 of the top 10 in each wriggle class in the UFC just all decided they wanted to go fight in OneFC or Bellator or something, the UFC would be in real trouble.

Are you serious?

You do realize if guys get hurt they dont fight and if they dont fight THEY DONT GET PAID.

They've got nothing to worry about if they're paying their guys more.

Does the NBA worry because they know they would be screwed if 5-6 of the top 10 players at each position left to go play in Europe?

Lol yep

Bellator just let its MW champ go, a guy Bjorn called the best MW in the world, they let him go because they couldnt pay him what the UFC offered.

They had to split Mo's deal with TNA to make it worth it to sign because they probably oculdnt pay him what he wanted on their own.

And OneFC? Because OneFC signs 3 guys who all were fighting in Dream, who seem comfortable fighting in Asia that means they have all this money to sign everyone?

Maybe people see the reported pay and think thats it but the top guys in the div, alot of them are getting PPV money and Bellator/OneFC aint got the kind of money to sign them.

Maybe one or two they could but lol if you think 5/6 of the top 10 in each div are just gonna up and leave.

Sure they could make a big splash and max out signing a big name free agent but thats not exactly the same as signing half the top 10 in each div.

Derpa derpa derp

Obviously I'm not serious, just frustrated Phone Post

You have to be damned desperate for drama to even consider this as being true.

To much roids has them over training and hurting themselves. Phone Post

SE555 -  Good observation. Subject to the insurance payout, why not claim a broken fingernail, collect 50,000 for nothoing + the same fight in the future. Fuck off to the Caribbean with that 50K insurance payout and when you really feel like it, fight the same fight you were supposed to fight. IE GSP collects millions from sponsers as the champion, why throw it away when you can stall it for 2 years. Better to be an inactive champion and still get paid by sponsers vs. not being a champion and losing it all with the flick of a switch.

Similarly this "bait and switch" is also turning out to be more profitable. Been going on now since end last year. Create a card with the best, sell the tickets, switch the card. The wind-fall ends up on the owner's pockets.  It's calculated on both ends, the fighters and the owners. The original fight can always be made later, collect 50K now + that purse later. Sellout an arena, hint nod wink at the main event fighter, your cough doesn't sound right, better not fight to night.

It's all quite apparent.

Interesting post. Phone Post

 Interesting that your phone would choose "wriggle" as an auto-correct. Do you use that term when texting often???
