The guy probably still has screaming tinnitus. I’m guessing Dana in tortured by his affliction.

He was doing fine until he started explaining Fitch….then he went loony bird and coke eyed

Also kinda ridiculous how he says Fitch is “Super f****** expensive” lol UFC fighters do not get pad like NBA,NFL,MLB players not even the slightest. And Zuffa is a billion dollar company….cmon

Let’s say ’100 guys too much’ would be $100,000 each fighter (‘m purposely inflating the pay here)…that’s 10 million. Now buff that by another 5 million just to play it safe. 15 million. That’s not even near what some NBA,NFL, MLB single players make. And that’s a drop in the bucket out of the UFC revenue

A fighter’s worth to the UFC is based on a ratio of what they get paid, versus what they earn for the organization…
The return on investment for Fitch is below the UFC threshhold so it makes sense to cut him from a business perspective.
However, if Fitch can go win the Bellator title, pick up a few more fans that want to pay $59.95 to watch him in the UFC, then they will gladly bring him back.
Is that really so hard to understand? Its the business of sports entertainment.

i NEVER disagree with dana he the man F*** you haters….BUT i 100% disagree with the fact that he says he is excited as if it were a chael vs anderson bla blah blah ….BULLLSHITTT if dana has EVER seen a ronda rousey fight he would know she is going to win by armbar in seconds! and if not by the end of round 1! liz has 0% chance in this fight and he only is saying that crap because they are far from sold out.

am i surprised by this. Not at all!!

because dana could cut GSP if he wanted. He could cut anderson silva.

If he doesn’t like a fighter he’d find a way to cut them.

He is the owner. It’s his game. He owns the chess pieces. Until there are powerful unions or fighters strikes etc. Perhaps some pressure from the fans. Dana will do whatever he wants, and play it how he wants

It’s sick but it’s reality folks. It’s just disgusting. Fitch is a great athlete. Just was not political enough. Cause in this day and age being a great fighter is not enough.. you have to be a great brown nose too. Just one example.
