Maybe easier said than done but why aren't any top UFC draws going this route? So they're locked into a contract of some kind?
But even if, we've seen pro athletes in every major sport that I can think of (I can remember this occurring in the NFL, NBA, and NHL) strike to get better deals...the UFC, as evidenced by this 4 billion dollar deal, are worth an absolute ton of cash.
And they're only seeing a tiny fraction of it. Dana White probably has more loose change in between his couch cushions than his roster of fighters have combined.
Some fighters have tried,
Fedor arguably the best heavyweight fighter ever, stayed outside the UFC and had some UFC fighters defect just to fight him. He had some success but the bottom line is UFC has a strong monopoly on big name fighters and you'll eventually run out of interesting match ups if you stay on the outside. And as bad as it is, UFC pays more than lower level promotions.

That's the truth! One of my training partners went 14-0 as an amateur and is so far 4-0 as a pro. His last match paid 400 to show, 700 to win.
Niffla- no I sure didn't but that guy is a great boxer! I love how he hit his opponent in the cup when the ref wasn't calling low blows!

danielx said: the UFC sued my buddy for playing a UFC fight at his place of business, that he paid for, completely free. They claimed he was profiting off the fight. It was literally for friends and family. Getting people in the doors wouldnt have even made him anymore money. Found out UFC has people that go around looking for people to sue like that. Realized what a bunch of cunts the organization was, so im not surprised they jew their fighters either.
Who won?

they settled for a couple grand. The UFC has a reputation for filing suit against people who cant afford to defend themselves. They just cast a far and wide net and hope to catch as many fish as possible.
