i know it would never happen but imagine liddel saying he wont fight for the ufc but only his own promotions were he stands to benefit the most … and his name could probally do equal to the numbers he does on ufc… its the fighters that could be the selling point not the company…

and then youd have full blown bullshit which decimates boxing… cause boxing has no union but everybody for themselves…. this is were mma and the ufc is going…

Hey, you never know.” This is the first I’ve heard of that. If this was Vince McMahon, he would have phone calls made threatening anyone who ever supports a union or collective bargaining. That has worked for him because the top guys have to be on-board, and the top guys are always "taken care of" so that they wouldn't stand to benefit as much from a union or some form of collective bargaining.
