Is it just me or is the ufc(dana white)pissing alot of fighters off lately and sending them on there way? They seam to think that they have a monopoly on the MMA game which they do now but if they keep treating fighters like trash then that might come back and bite them in the ass. just 2 cents worth
With how difficult it is to build an organization like the UFC I think they can afford to disregard those who buck them and cling to the guys who are "company man"
"pissing alot of fighters off lately and sending them on there way?"
who are you referring to?
Randy C, Andre A, etc, ect. Who else have they split ways with. Seems to me that list keeps growing.
Profits are shrinking. Time to reign in the operating expenses.
They will burn their bridges faster than you would smoke an ounce of weed on your way to a pro fight.
You've named two and one of them hasn't complained about anything. Where's the rest. Name some of the other UFC fighters that have complained how they were treated or paid. 99% don't say anything but good things about how they're treated.
well maybe just sending them on there way. I think Elite is gonna get pretty huge on CBS. Boxing dont even have major network coverage. That kind of exposier is huge. I dont think UFC is going away no where but there days of the only big mma promoters are over.
them days are over sandy but that was funny.
I don't think they "sent Randy on his way." They gave him a title shot and want him to fight Nog.
He and Tito seemed happy enough to sign their contracts to come back to fight for the UFC - what changed in the meantime?
Personally I feel UFC/Dana are not only pissing off the fighters but also the fans, I for one was a huge supporter of UFC for many years, now the way I see Dana publicly putting fighters like Tito, Randy and Fedor down makes me wish he'd go swimming with the fishes.
I think when elite hits cbs my thoughts are that alot of heavyhitters are gonna jump ship

Why? So they can go be paid $1?!?! At the end of the day, it is money that counts. EliteXC may a great deal and be able to pay guys more because of this but they may not. Just because you get on a big tv station doesn't mean people will flock to it. Remeber the IFL on UPN?
I agree Ron. How ya been, killa?
Dow Dat Dust Disn't Dice.
Is it etc... or ect...?
250 fighters under contract , how do they pay THE BILLS ??????????????
It's Etc. as in etcetera
EXC could stand to make some waves in the next year or so and Japanese MMA seems to be picking back up again. On top of this EXC seem willing to work with anyone as shown by them sending Alvarez to DREAM and I have heard they are trying to work with WVR also.
UFC's main problem is the way they totally disregard other promotions and now that they are #1, flat out refuse to work with any other promotions. Other places have top guys but UFC likes to pretend unless you fight in the UFC then you aren't shit. Anyone with half a brain knows this is not the case, I just wish UFC didn't think everyone was so stupid. Just because they can fool a lot of the newer fans for the time being. Things will change and hopefully the UFC does to in regards to this.
