@guicruzzz@MMA__Matchmaker@MMAFighting A great way to control fighters is by having them always worried about being cut. This is done intentionally. All those fighters should contact @MMAFA and get in Johnson class of UFC Antitrust lawsuit. @ketlenvieiraufc
A lot of people are excited that someone with big money is entering the market to try and compete with the ufc.
This doesn’t actually help anything lang term. If they manage to pay more and get ufc fighters to jump ship, things aren’t getting better.
The problem is promotional titles and long term restrictive contracts. As well as no cross promotion.
Netflix taking over is just swapping out monopolies. Monopoly is the problem.
Only way to make things better is to have a free market. Only way to have a free market is to change the business model.

Does this sound familiar?
When you control rank and ascension, it is only a matter of time.
Promoter controlled rank and title is the antithesis of sport and the recipe for fighter exploitation.
There is no genius behind this-just evil pimps buying laws to obtain result.
Victims of exploitation often see their abusers as friends.
It is amazing to see so many world class athletes in MMA who seem to need this parental figure that exploits them severely all along the way.
Don King gave shiny cars. Dana gives shorts they previously stole.

“They are moving that same UFC model to boxing. If that model was truly for the fighters you wouldn’t see a $375M anti trust lawsuit and current UFC fighters begging for raises”
