As usual people jump on the bandwagon and start whining about how nasty dana is. Its a business, if you don’t like the business go work for another one. Its not like they’re cutting your pay ffs!

ok, my thoughts are that he went into the desert or whatever knowing that if he went deep enough he wouldn’t make it. what i mean is that these guys should be treated bette. I just think that E.T wasn’t ready mentally to be in a main event, there’s nothing wrong with having some mental or personal problems people deal with those things every day, and for the Rampage thing of course he flew out there that’s his job he kiss ppls asses to have them stay in the UFC, now he puts him into a fight with Wanderlei after what happened to Quinton, does that make any sense to you?

Well, as long as they can train full time and make a decent living, I really could care less how much money they make and how rich they become. Boxing brings in more revenue for big fights, that’s why they can offer the bigger pay days.
And now you don’t want to see Wanderlei/Rampage III because however loses is seriously going to get hurt????? Grow some nuts buddy. This is a fight business, not a hold their hand and pat them on the butt business. Get it together and quit acting like a woman, please.

OJR,

The deal is really for the video game developers. My understanding of the contract is that they, not just Zuffa, own the likeness to the fighters for the video game. Thus, any fighter could be used in future games by the developer and not used by other developers.

lol….Jon Fish.

Maybe he can just use GSP’s “ape technique to put people down” and no one will recognize him.

MY 2 CENTS

Video games earn a ton of money Out of Tigers 100 Mil last years I read 59 mil was from the VG.

Did you every think of this:

UFC and DANA: publicity bad or good is always, always, always gooood…it’s a stunt to gain attention on the new Hottest game coming out…its all for show. Jon will be back in no Time.

All other US sports are a bag of shite, nobody outside of that country watches them and there is no international competition. “World series” my ass.
Don’t try to group UFC with American Suits of Armor Football, American Steroid Rounders and hoods done good hoops.
The UFC is an international promotion and because of this is poised to overtake all the other sports the USA holds so dear. There will be no union because there is no “N” in UFC.

“For the American readers – that means it’s not a national league”

It’s grand. Fitch can sign the damn video game thing and if he leaves for another org they can call him Jon Fish in the video game and put him in clean shaven. Therefore not the same name or likeness ha. We’ll all know who it is.

Kos can be the Blanket and Cain can be called Brown Pride or whatever the fook he has tattoed across his chest.

Btw, I say it all with tongue in cheek.
