An interesting and comparable situation. As we all have heard/seen lately, Diaz is out. Ok I won't waste everyone's time.
The NFL, much much MUCH larger of a sport in this country generating larger amounts of money than the UFC has PRO-BOWL players each and every year who become selfish. We even read quotes of how they do it for the money and hold out for a larger contract.
Yet, they miss TRAINING CAMP with their fellow teammates, they know this is expected every season, but yet they feel it is ok to abandon their team in efforts to increase their pay even though they are ridiculously overpaid in some instances.
NOW:
The discussion continues...
Should Dana rethink for the next time? I know Condit is in. I am going to enjoy watching that replacement match. But fact is, it is a REPLACEMENT match. I would have much rather watched the original.
You think Dana is attempting to keep his cash cow (a la GSP) a happy camper by disciplining Diaz??? 
I think it's more Dana showing who is the Alpha male.
"You think Dana is attempting to keep his cash cow (a la GSP) a happy camper by disciplining Diaz???"
No,Dana is setting an example.
I am more excited about the condit fight.
Nick Diaz HAS NEVER defeated anyone with even mediocre wrestling credentials.
Condit just blew through Dong Hung Kim like he didnt exist.
