I hope Dana White can a learn a thing or 2 from the way that he handles this type of situation. To be honest...I can really see another Orginazation topping UFC in about 5 years.

It seems like fighters could claim on their returns to have made only 12,000 on a fight, yet not include that other 40 grand they got behind the scenes on their returns. It might also have implications on the way UFC files its own taxes as well. Sam,
